I stopped watching the British one as I can't stand Alan Sugar any more. The American one seems more exciting and I live in hope that one day I'll overcome the physical impossibilities of that wig that for now simply looks like two pieces of shredded wheat. Is it combed forwards or backwards, left or right?

Don't be a maverick, Howard, people who are mavericks are all tossers.


I would, seriously, disagree with that statement,


The uniqueness, diversity, eccentricity and individuality of people is what makes a Nation so appealling.


It would be a boring place if we all conformed and thought and acted in a similar fashion.


I mean I'm a "maverick" in my eyes and, probably, a "tosser" in the eyes of one or two on here....but thats not because I'm a Maverick:)

Perhaps I should have written, "people who THINK they are mavericks" are all tossers. I don't think anyone could argue with that one. Anyone who thinks they are dangerous/ original/ cool/ quirky/ maverick is almost 99% guaranteed not to be.



I once actually met someone whose first name was Maverick. I don't know what his parents were thinking, it's like calling a girl Pretty and then she turns out not to be and suffers for the rest of her life as a result. The worst thing was I was introduced to him as a potential love interest with the words "I think you'll really like him", leading me to seriously question my entire sense of being when he (inevitably) turned out to be a massive twit. Within about 20 seconds of meeting him he started pontificating loudly about the movie script he'd written about a heist that goes wrong and seemed oddly offended when I said, "Oh, you mean, exactly like Reservoir Dogs?" (This was about 6 months after the film had come out)


He could not have been less of a maverick if he tried, and I hated him instantly.
