COME ON BATES!!!!!!!!!

"You're Fired" deserved an hour tonight. Was it just they refuse to move Newsnight back or bring The Apprentice forward? Baggs could have filled an hour by himself.

They said there is an extended version of Your Fired at the weekend

Should be good fun

Seems odd to me that Stuart ran a telecoms company and it had a license and said that on his CV and they said he was lying.

yeah I thought that seemed a bit harsh too

Yeh thought he did well to be honest. He stretched the truth but pretty sure to everyone but the tech bloke it wouldn't have mattered. If the company is doing well then the license he holds is pretty insignificant and he was just bigging himself up a bit.

I love the interview episode. I remeber watching it for the first time a few years ago and had some interviews to do myself the day after. Was well excited, thought I was going to nail somebody to the wall and make them squirm with my cutting questions.

The candidate was some 16 year old girl, on her application under the section that said something like 'what personal qualities do you think you could bring to the role'  there was a big blank box. When questioned about it she shrugged her shoulders and chewed her gum.

She got the job.

she was fit then?

[thetank]

Not that I remember. I think I just thought it would be interesting to hire somebody so bad, I wanted to see what would happen.

It wasn't that interesting, she just didn't turn up.

Just think Lord Sugar has a soft spot for Chris like he did with Simon in series 3.

Stella was a pick from the start

So I cant lose. Even if I miss I cant miss

He didn't stretch the truth though, he runs a telecoms company and it's licensed. The fact it's internet based and doesn't need any other license seemed to be lost on Alan's tech guy. He was probably busy working on the follow up to the em@iler though so I suppose we can forgive him.

I think he said he was fully licensed. You probably know more about it than me but it sounded like he was fully licensed for what he needed to do but not a fully licensed telecoms company.
Either way it was way OTT for Sugar to say he was full of ****.
Also agree with Horneris that it needed to be longer - less clips of them lying to each other saying the interviews went well and more reasoning for the sackings. Probably more Margret too. She was brilliant.

[Bongo]

But if he runs a telecoms company (and there didn't seem to be any disagreement there) and he has the licenses he needs how is he not a fully licensed telecoms company?

Loved Margaret saying "I suppose you will give 110% too?"

Stella is as hard as nails. She'll walk all over Chris in the final, I think

I reckon so too.  She reminds me a lot of myself in many ways (in terms of background - dropping out of school, falling into a profession by joining as a PA, seeking out oportunities, creating new roles and working up).  considered for a minute whether I might apply next year.  I'm missing the hard as nails stuff though and would probs just cry in the boardroom if someone was mean to me.

That is so strange you said that Claire, as I thought of you, you are very astute and you would be a good candidate.

I loved the bit when Margaret said that Chris most probably has all his certificates framed and he sits and looks at them!
