That was kind of a weird laugh Rav: was it an evil giggle of sorts?

So these .....appearances..... *muses*

Rav pretends to deflate Tony's ego, as he does with every one else. But in this case it is a bluff. For it to be a bluff Rav has to massage that ego privately. I wonder where, how and why that happens?

It's a combination of 'meh' and the classic 'mwaha'. It's the latest thing in evil accoutrement!

Thanks, of course, like most things I stole it from someone else, but who cares about trifling details like that?

Goodnight Tony....

Hmm...time to keep up appearances. *coughs*

Have you heard of a TV programme called The Apprentice Fiona? I know you don't have a TV, but still...
(Yes, this is my attempt at choosing a topic

)

*Lives up to her usual disappointing self and says no.*

What is it about?

Ravager · Post by **Ravager** » Sun Mar 05, 2006 6:39 pm

It's a very good show, where they have these candidates for a very high paid job with Sir Alan Sugar, the candidates have to perform tasks every week, generally trying to make the most money. They have to work together, but still show themselves up, so they have a greater chance of winning overall. Every week the teams (they split up into boys and girls originally) have a project leader who gives out the tasks too. On the losing team, someone will be fired and go home empty-handed.
So, it's a bit like a reality show, expect the public have no input. It's very good...and the BBC have put the episodes up on their website...

I will take your word for it, Ravager. On the face of it it sounds like ritual humiliation to me. "They Shoot Horses, Don't They" springs to mind. But I think that about a lot of what people tell me about things that are on TV. It probably has lots of redeeming features I am not getting

Ravager · Post by **Ravager** » Sun Mar 05, 2006 6:47 pm

Oh, in no way am I a fan of mainstream television, I hardly watch it anymore.

That programme does have someting about it though, that does place it above the crowd though. They do come up with very inventive challenges, in last weeks episode they had to design and produce a calendar for Great Ormond Street and sell it to three major companies (Harrod's, Virgin Megastores and the Calendar Club). It's interesting to see how the candidates approach the problems and how they cope when they're on the firing line.

Sounds like a copy of the show about Donald Trump choosing someone to be trained by him personally.

I like the idea of seeing people solve problems. I hate the idea of the pressure and the money which produces it. Bit of a curate's egg, maybe?

Ravager · Post by **Ravager** » Sun Mar 05, 2006 6:50 pm

There is a lot of problem solving in there, involved within business and economic problems. Most of them have the end goal of making the biggest profit, but it's how they get there that is the interesting point for me.

Yeah, it's the British version of that.
