Nice one Stella
well the better person won0 -
evn with the "i'm not an accountant" comment.
Yeah its always good to sell your lack of financial skills in the business world
I thought the last two contestants we're fairly evenly matched, she obviously had the proven track record, why why let him in the contest if thats a must.0 -
To be fair on the "your hired" show after, Lord Sugar did say openly that the rules of the contest say 1 person has to get a job but his door is open should Chris want to come knocking on it for employment.
I thought that sounded like he will give him a job as well which is nice.0 -
Nothing like resurrecting an old thread and it looks like this one has travelled through more than a single series!
TONIGHT, BEEBLY ONE!
I expect discussions here shortly afterwards with woefully inaccurate predictions to win.0 -
OMG that Edward the accountant needs to get fired...such a rude arrogant!!0
-
what do these people have against accountancy? see above what we were saying last time0
-
Yes, but he was a complete plank. Good job he subsequently became a * cough * recruitment consultant!
I may have made that up!0 -
what a muppet, my money is on the soupman! love the comment "i'll just disfuse this situation"...0

Good work!
I was hooked after the first 5 mins, as many cringable quotes as the whole of last series!
"Don't tell me the sky's the limit when theres footprints on the moon", awesome.
I was expecting something from the accountant... I thought for once someone would do some good calculations, but he was intent on "breaking the mold".
Then there was the derogatory comment from another contestant about being an accountant, thankyou Lord Sugar for setting him straight; "many of the large businesses are run by accountants!"0 -
I'm hooked to the show!! Looking forward to tonight's
For me there seemed to be too much board room time this season, maybe i'm wrong and half of the programme has always been in the boardroom but i would like to see more time on the street. Still a great watch!0 -

I agree, it used to be the last 15min in the boardroom, now it's half time!!
anyway, the programme used to be a business one with proper professionals, now it's simply entertaining, however I still like it!0 -
...thank you Lord Sugar for setting him straight; "many of the large businesses are run by accountants!"
IMO, accountants generally do not make good CEO's. By nature they're too cautious, almost always treat the company money as if it's their own - i.e. never want to spend any - and good CEO's need to take qualified risks, not be risk averse, to head a successful and ambitious enterprise.0 -
Should CEO's have an apostrophe ?0
-
I took an instant dislike to the HR woman who was in charge of the money, the faces and head movements she made drove me mad.
Also the girls pm Melody bigged herself up far too much, I bet she crashes and burns soon.
I thought he was going to keep Edward in, as previously there seemed to be a pattern of keeping the idiots in.0 -
What a disgrace!!
Edward Hunter made the Accountancy Profession look like a soggy biscuit!!
I was soo ashamed be an Accountant last night ! and to think he was trained by one of the UK's top firms. hmmm I wonder who they are??!!
I asume he couldn't return to his day job!0 -
oh leon.........what a mess..... but seriously both apps were utter tosh, but the boys pithced alot better in most cases...0

You tell me. CEOs doesn't look correct and is picked up by the spell checker so in this instance, I would say yes...
Writing it out in full instead of the abbreviated form:
Chief Executive Officers - Plural
Chief Executive Officer's - Possessive
Not sure if the spellcheck corrects grammar ?0 -
-
Isnt it plural ? He is talking about more than one. "and good CEO's need to take qualified risks"0
-
Possessive plural.0
-
Cewl, free English grammar teachings. I didn't know that one yet. Although I possibly learned this in high school and then forgot about it, as English wasn't really my strongest point.
Any other interesting grammar bits?0 -
-
Not that I really care two hoots about the turn of this thread (to put it politely), it's actually CEOs.
But seeing as we currently have the spelling police on the forum...
... tut tut slackda.
oooooooooooooooo !
It was just meant to be lighthearted.
Back to the subject, hope the Irish chap wins.
Have a good weekend 0 -

I agree, he seems the sane one amongst a bunch of knobs.0
