yeah she seemed to be trying to sell World Peace rather than a crappy iphone App.

Get ready for some more comedy gold!

What was going on last night?? That optician guy couldn't organise a bun fight in a brothel! The guy who looks like Walker, the spiv from Dads Army, just seemed to ride roughshod over the rest of his "team" and the ones left with the optician bloke just seemed to wander around in a daze. I'm suprised they even managed 6 items. And then, when he was sacked for being utterly incompetant, he was still in such a daze that he thought he had done a good job and that Lord Sugar had sacked the wrong guy. FFS, man up and admit you were out of your depth. Honestly, he should have gone to specsavers!

Mind you, rushing off to the most expensive shops in London to buy stuff wasn't necessarily a good game plan from the other team either. It astounds me, sometimes, the lack of knowledge these people have. Camomile tea, so they go to the "rare tea shop"?? FFS, you can get camomile tea at Tescos, it hardly warrants a trip to a specialist importer. Oh, and if you're after a bargain top hat, don't shop at the sort of place the King of Tonga shops at. They're not used to peasants asking for money off!

I did laugh at how dumbstruck they were at the prices of tophats in some of the most reputable sellers in London; with smartphones there is almost no excuse to not be able to find numerous sellers within a certain area and have an understanding of price.

Also what was the chinese (?) girl doing begging for a penny off? What was the point? Such a daft cow.

Quote of the show for me was from the scruffy tramp millionaire himself:

Spiv, a massively underused word.

I know, WTF was the point? Even the guy selling the hat seemed utterly bemused by such a pointless act.

Jingo · 20-05-2011, 12:04

And then she was saying "We would appreciate that more than you could imagine"..."thank you so much from the bottom of my heart".

TinkerBell · 20-05-2011, 13:28

Lol! I really didn't see the point in asking for a penny off and 900 pounds for the tea!! I don't even drink tea but even I can tell that is wayy to much.

Kitten · 20-05-2011, 15:12

isn't the point that they had to get discounted items? So even a penny off counts as a discount. Pointless, but still to the letter.

I was more embarrassed by the 'The UBER amount I have is £20. No? How about £30. Still no? £40? No? You sure? I was hoping we could do it all for £50?"

Bloke jumps in with £80 and it's a deal. Don't say all you have is £20 if you then go up. People don't appreciate being lied to or taken for idiots. Be respectful and ask, beg, do whatever you have to, but don't take the p*ss.

And Jesus, how charmed are we by the Irish/Scouse accents?

Jingo · 20-05-2011, 15:24

Yeah the Irish Lilt was doing wonders for Jim - shame the Scouse Twang did nothing for Mr Fired. I do think the show was deliberately edited to highlight how many times he said 'calm down'
