Can I have a £100,000 job where I don't have to do much, please?

I can cope with boredom really well.

But did you know that there are six million cat owners in the UK alone, and that the majority of them live in London?

Yes but did you know with the regular viewers, Sugar does not come across as some sort of God? People take the pee out of him as much as anyone else.

The viewers see it and treat it as a laugh. Had you watched any of it you would see that they are all over-paid self-important jokes of business people who really couldn't organise a piss up in a brewery. That's why we watch it and point out what complete T**** they are.

Rubbish! I'm pretty sure the majority live and spend their days shitting in my back garden, (210 miles from London). Can I sue Lord Sugar?

They probably thought that people outside of London weren't advanced enough to own cats, and have pet dinosaurs or something.

I am curious about the fact that she has talked about her 4 month trial, the final bit before Siralan decided who to employ, at that point she was just a semi finalist as was one of the other candidates (cant remember who) It will be intresting to find out what they thought about it. Maybe after she won other things of her personality emerged which had not been spotted on the show, maybe she was the best of a bad bunch. Life is tough at the end of the day he may end up having to give her some money but I doubt it, if he was remotely worried he would have settled out of court.

It absolutely and entirely depends on what was in her contract. If LS didn't meet his obligations then she should win... if she has misinterpreted what those actually were, then she should be shown the courtroom door.

From the teeny amount I know about this it seems she expected to be managed and mentored by LS himself and whilst the £100k is lovely, the networking opportunities of spending time with LS (and the people she would get to meet) would be worth far more in the long term.

Of course getting all litigious will mess with her career severly... so I hope she has or wins the money to start her own business because bosses tend not to like those who might drag them through the courts.

If they are Britain's brightest businessmen no wonder there was a recession

I suspect being told "there is no job" by the director of the company on your first day after being told she'd won a job might leave one feeling a little sour... especially if the duties you're given are essentially secretarial.

How can you ever forget Stuart "The Brand" Baggs?

Then it depends on how she dealt with that at the time and the reaction of the management there. I'd have been sat on LS's doorstep to be honest, but then I am older and have more insurance.

It's educational as I now know that to make a pizza you need one chicken per pizza.

Every pizza needs a whole chicken. It's actually EU law

That's him, I've been sitting here trying to remember his name (but not enough interest to Google). Thanks for that. I loved his interviews....ROFL.

The pic is even funnier

EDIT: I thought the pic was a Photoshop mickey-take but after reading this snippet I'm not too sure now

"Baggs also revealed that he enjoys working in the nude when he's at home. "There's nothing nicer than picking up the phone to someone when you are naked," he said. "I don't tell [the caller]."

Oh yeah, I remember what a total pratt he made of himself on the show (unless that's his norm). Cringe tv but I couldn't not watch.
