OK, I've watched the video and think they are a bunch of egocentric overblown up-their-arses harpies. That's just the women. The men are even worse!
When (if) the baby barrister has concluded his stint as a pupil, I must find out which set of chambers he imposes himself on, and then avoid it like the plague!!
And for sitting through that LT, I want a Greggs pasty!!!!!!!!!! |

Yes some of them will sell their own Mother to get on that show.
It is all filmed now, in the can.
So it is not really like a Reality show
just one hour each Weds night with a thousand re-edits.
Last year the winner was leaked on the Internet because she was spotted
at a big Party a month before the end.
The good thing about Alan Sugar
is he has seen hundreds like them before
only one will be picked for his company. |

Look into their eyes ... they are dead.
Where is the empathy, compassion or humanity?
They are a very scary bunch of people.
I wouldn't let them into a classroom, that's for sure. |

click on the right for the Boardroom Split
He did the Prices
got many of them wrong, even though they had guides.
Team leader Alex picked him and Raef to go in front of Alan
and Alan Sugar could not stand the crap
Nicholas was going on about.
Alan Sugar can not stand false people and his middle name was false.
The BBC site for this has been Hacked, and is down at this time.
The Mail newspaper has another viewpoint
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/articles/showbiz/showbiznews.html?in_article_id=546800&in_page_id=1773
This is from the Telegraph:
____________________________
The losing boys, meanwhile, provided much more grist to the producers' mill. Alex Wotherspoon, who led them so surely to their defeat, at least had the telegenic advantage of being breathtakingly handsome. Not so Nicholas de Lacy-Brown, the chinless barrister who ended up first to be fired for not knowing the price of fish. For comic relief, equally posh Raef Bjayou kept popping up like Mr Punch and squawking at Alex that that wasn't the way to do it.

Well, it gives me a warm and fuzzy feeling that dear old Sussex can produce the least successful rapacious, capitalist lackey. I'm sure Moonie would agree. People are too nice (or maybe too wasted) down on the South Coast for all that northern (and that includes London) nastiness.

This expression meaning "to achieve the required standard" is
first recorded in an O. Henry story of 1902: "So I looked around
and found a proposition [a woman] that exactly cut the mustard."
It may come from a cowboy expression, "the proper mustard",
meaning "the genuine thing", and a resulting use of "mustard" to
denote the best of anything. O. Henry in Cabbages and Kings
(1894) called mustard "the main attraction": "I'm not headlined
in the bills, but I'm the mustard in the salad dressing, just the
same." Figurative use of "mustard" as a positive superlative dates
from 1659 in the phrase "keen as mustard", and use of "cut" to
denote rank (as in "a cut above") dates from the 18th century.
Other theories are that it is a corruption of the military phrase
"to pass muster" ("muster", from Latin monstrare="to show", means
"to assemble (troops), as for inspection"); that it refers to the
practice of adding vinegar to ground-up mustard seed to "cut" the
bitter taste; that it literally means "cut mustard" as an example of
a difficult task, mustard being a relatively tough crop that grows
close to the ground; and that it literally means "cut mustard" as
an example of an easy task (via the negative expression "can't
even cut the mustard"), mustard being easier to cut at the table
than butter.
The more-or-less synonymous expression "cut it" (as in "'Sorry'
doesn't cut it") seems to be more recent and may derive from
"cut the mustard".
The above is cut and paste, obviously, but I thought it might be interesting

Fluffy it is a Good Old Business term
goes back to the pre-victorian era etc.
that Miriam has used.
As you know it means he is Not Good Enough for the work.
It is a perfect word for the Inverted Snob N.Brown
who is from our area. |

Oh come on, LTNS and NE have got into some huge (and very amusing) fights before, but that's never stopped LT from posting.
I think it's something more serious.
He's got the sniffles.

More a point of getting fed up with the kicking and name calling by a certain bully-boy member of the forum.
It's the straw that broke the camels back I fear. |
