The apprentice tonight

Just heard that Tom has also just got engaged... his words were "she is a geek to" ... classic.

Tom's parents looked so proud. It seems he may have struggled a bit at school but they've obviously supported him and he's turned out well.

And they looked as though they enjoyed working together too - not surprising as both of them seem like nice straight-acting people, co-operating on the task instead of concentrating on how to do down everyone else.

I do agree with you Elegran - I wondered if perhaps Alan Sugar would creat a partnership with the two of them

Helen and Tom made such a good team on the MypPy task, I could have seen them make a success of a joint business.

Helen's change was so obviously Sir Alan based that I actually had to cover my ears and eyes. For someone who had done so well it was very obvious that she was just hanging on. Sometimes you just have to hold on to your dignity, and this time it was touch and go. Cringeworthiness .. 10 out of 10

I'm pleased Tom won too! It seemed from his method of getting his stylfile into Walmart that he's not as soft as he appears - good on him! Lord Sugar seemed to take to Susan but she wasn't suitable in this instance. Jim really came out of this badly - Margaret's eyebrows shot up at his final cliche and Helen's poor idea and sudden change of plan was cringe making too. Still, I wouldn't like to go through all that; some of those tasks were really tough and so time limited.

If I had not been so busy reading the others, I'd have posted before you.

Elegran, you are so right, there are some very good ones! My favourite was " A man who trusts nobody is apt to be the kind of man nobody trusts"

I found lots of other quotes from Harold McMillan too. He was pretty sharp.

Your broadband was a little faster than mine

Great minds think alike (or google alike)

A foreign secretary.

A Foreign secretary I believe, but in general rather than a particular one.

Great quotation, Helshea. Whom was he referring to?

He is forever poised between a cliche and an indiscretion ....
Harold MacMillan

Yes, Jim, master of the cliché!

Yes, but at least he taught us a new dimension on the English language.

People like Jim are the reason I have a chain on my door!

well done to Tom I had been routing for him for the past couple of weeks,soglad he came into his own on the home run,what a plank of a salesman
is Jim I would't buy anything from him even if you paid me

or tin even (oops!)

Jim did look a complete idiot at times last night. But as he says "you get what it says on the box".

Good for Tom and hopefully Susie can get some of the action too. Good to see Jim being humilated publicly the man has no integrity!

Wow, for once in my life I was right... and yes nice guys can win, but the whole lot of them were disappointing when it came to business plans. Helen was awfully embarassing when she suddenly changed her plan when Lord Sugar had suggested it. It was a curl up with your hands in your ears moment... on another note, didn't Susan look so much different and glamorous on the after show?

So nice guys can win! Alan Sugar is just what Tom needs to put his ideas into a business framework.
