Grrrrr he so infuriated me!

Am I the only one that wanted to punch him?

Raef should be dealt with as well!

I am with you on both counts

Same Here, he pretty much insulted a lot of young people with his stupid GCSE comment

Me too - and I'd go a round or two with one or two of the girls as well!!

They've dumbed it down and poshed it up even more this year - and managed to push actual business even more to the sidelines......that's what happens when a GREAT BBC2 programme makes the move to mainstream BBC1, sadly.

Oh my god - I just realised know him!!!

It was the de lacy bit that confused me.

I have so many tales to tell about this guy!!

Agtree with you about Nicholas, but quite liked Rafe. Thought I was going to dislike him, but he grew on me. Twice, when someone came on possible firing line, he stuck his neck out and tried to share the responsibility. At the end, I think he was trying to distance himself from Nicholas' idotic comments but it did not come out very well.

Tell, Tell, Tell!


please!

Tell please!

I'm going to have a chat with my family (am actually going home to see them tomorrow) and write it all up.

I'm in hysterics - known him since he was very young and he was a pretentious little prat then. I totally didn't recognise him till the aftermath programme - it was his mannerisms (weird neck movement) that got it for me.

Oh god, is this for real?!?

"In Nicholas de Lacy-Brown however, there lies a man who is prepared to question such apathy. Undoubtedly a man of many talents, he has lived his short twenty-four years with a vivacity and boldness which few could achieve in a lifetime, most recently seen when standing up to the ruthless tongue of Alan Sugar as a contestant in the BBC show The Apprentice. "

When did he stand up for himself exactly? I must've blinked and missed that bit.

What an idiot. I'm really glad he went now...

Well his dad is plain old Alan Brown - a solicitor. So the de lacy bit is definitely new. I think I remember my mum telling me that he had added that bit on a while ago.

He used to be a choir boy ...

Hahaha

Oh the images!

No, he annoyed the hell out of me. Glad to see him humiliated and out in the first episode, although he would have been funny to laugh at for a couple of more shows.

Me too...hope the toff team get fired sharpish!!! It was a toss-up but I think my first punch could have been aimed at Raef...too arrogant by far!

I agree - he came across as a prize plonker, but it's the prize plonkers that make these programmes

Strangely, my step-daughter thought he looked like a vampire!

I didn't want to punch him, throttle him for his comment about GCSEs maybe....

However I doubt the David Cameron/Dracula hybrid would be that easy to vanquish by mere human powers alone.

Oh lord, please don't tell me he's related to Bobby Beale

And me!

Yeahp, cousin twice removed

We can sleep easy knowing that good ol' Sir Alan has foiled Beale's schemes once more.

I disliked him in the main show but strangely warmed to him in the your fired show. He still deserved to go however, anyone stupid enough to make a boardroom argument based on class deserves whats coming to them.

Is that why Rita Simmons is in Eastenders?!

Back to Nicholas, I think he looks a bit like Jeremy from BBCH, gone terribly, terribly wrong

Yes, he and Raef were totally odious. They clearly thought they were above a "dirty" task and the way they had such longwinded, pointless arguements and stupid games of one-upmanship, was really annoying. I softened towards Nick in the "you're fired" show because he seemed to have some humility and a sense of humour, but through the show I wanted both of them to be fired. I am so pleased Alex is there (not because he was good - he was average - but just because he is nice to look at )

Yeahp, she's part of the spy core.

*runs off to BB forum to see what Jeremy looked like*

There is a bit of a resemblance there actually. A slight resemblance. I think it's the eyebrows.

I got 4 B's in my GCSEs but I would've been perfectly capable of pricing the fish without making a mess of it, so Nicholas can shove it.

But the bit that really annoyed me was his comments in the boardroom. He shot himself in the foot with his snobbery.

But I actually like Raef so far.

I didn't much like either Raef or Nicolas. I didn't dislike Raef as much, but I know I wouldn't much like him if I met him in real life. He looks like a wet fish himself, as did Nicolas of course. How ironic, really!
