I think you've answered your own question. It's only fun if you enjoy painfully farcical comedy.


Why anyone would want to be the "apprentice" of someone responsible for launching so many complete, utter turkeys is beyond me. Totally losing his share of the PC market within just a couple of years... then a diabolical games console, a disastrous PDA, the ridiculous emailer phone, the bizarre anti-wrinkle device. The list goes on.


And let's not forget the whole Spurs episode..

I'll admit that i'm not completely impartial in my utter loathing for the man, being a Spurs fan.

Each year the fascination is whether they can find candidates with an unprecedented level of 'twatness'.


Indications are good in that regard this year. It's not a business show, it's 'made in Chelsea' with business-like tasks. As long as you accept that for what it is, it's good car crash comedy.

The only candidate of any merit I've ever seen was early on in perhaps first/second episode. It was the dark guy who had been / was a London Undergorund manager. I think he had a girlfriend and very young child and just wanted to get on and use his abilities. Polite, well-mannered, humble, but also clever, patient, saw every train-wreck coming.

So far ahead of his loud-mouthed supertwat competitors with their tailored suits and unrealistic boasts.

I think he won, not sure, but it must be more than accident that all the other candidates (and most since) are utter cockwombles.

It's a tired recipe now this programme. Overstayed it's welcome by several years.

Yep, spot on there. Coupled with the "Simon Cowell Effect" of behaving and talking to others, I'm sure it makes us old'uns wonder where it will all end!!!!!!!!!

I agree. They've made some minor changes over the years but not enough to keep it fresh.


And this year's participants are even more awful than usual.


I expect I'll still watch it though ....

      Advice on dealing with a solicitor who will not use modern means of communication

      By Rockets · Posted

      Have you complained to the solicitor directly and did they respond within the 8 weeks they have under their code of conduct - I presume they have and this is why you have escalated further to the SRA? If he doesn't respond in a timely fashion per the SRA code of conduct then I am sure they will need to take action.

      Where can you smell Wood Burning stoves in East Dulwich

      By CPR Dave · Posted

      What a bunch of ignorant nimbies.  Their own tweet conspicuously ignores the actual content of their own article FFS. Immediately after the incorrect paragraph quoted about it being unlawful to burn coal wood etc they sit out the actual position:   "However, the use of authorised smokeless fuels in an open fireplace is allowed, as well as burning smoke-generating fuels in an approved stove or burner."   leaving that out is as thick as flying into the amazon rainforest on a private jet to attend Cop 31 thus week.

      UPDATE FOUND!!

      By TWB Cat Sitter · Posted

      I had to pull this cat back from speeding traffic as she was almost clipped - TWICE -  by passing motorbikes on Underhill Rd. Needless to say, I was seething that anyone would let this cat out onto the streets, specially a street that I struggle to cross myself. When I initially approached her, I thought she had already been injured. By some miracle, she wasn't, she was just paralyzed by fear. Do NOT let this cat out onto the streets.

      Advice on dealing with a solicitor who will not use modern means of communication

      By CPR Dave · Posted

      Are there any other executors? Is the solicitor a soke practioner or part of a firm? Are you and your fellow beneficiaries behaving well?  You will want to take proper  legal advice (which this is not) but you can have an executor removed by the court if they are refusing to communicate with you. I would just do that. Tell him you are doing it, tell him you have reported him to the Law Society (if you have) and tell him you will be challenging his fees with the legal services ombudsman. This all sounds outrageous to me and this solicitor doesn't sound fit to practice. Three years sounds far too long for a low value estate comprising mostly of a house. He should have sold that or rented it out whilst he was waiting to administer the estate.    Sounds like he has cost you all a lot of money.
