    I don't get out a lot. Never been in a posh house.
    It looked posh from where I am sitting....

    But overall, the people here are wealthier/posher than me and used to the nicer things in life.

    I am just intelligent and well-mannered, so I will have to accept that as my lot.

    omg what a !!!!!! the bloke was, i hated him, he was on a par with the lesbian american girls a few years ago ( i still hate them now they were so annoying)

    I thought the complete opposite. I liked his honesty. He knew it was a mistake and openly didn't give a crap. And like he said at the end, he still has his health. It's only money! :T

    But as an estate agent I wouldn't touch him with a barge pole. Or a baseball bat. Well maybe the baseball bat! :think:
  • Oh my, I almost fell off my seat when I saw the 'finished cottage'!

    He didn't seem to give a toss about the whole thing or is that his defence mechanism?

    I do hope he sells cos it's no looker.

    My Sky box is broked so no Relocation x 3 for me (not that I watch it anyway - it's more Mrs Generali's thing and she's gone to Aus for a month with the Generalissimos).

    I've got my first interview tomorrow if you're interested. Running the back office of another hedge fund so similar to what I'm up to now but fewer hours and a lot more cash (40% fewer hours and 100% more cash is the target).

    As we are all watching Apprentice now, can I ask a question ... why do they talk into their phones funny? Is that because of some loud speaker in them so the camera/people can hear it? Or have they not learnt how to use phones in London yet?

    It's annoying. It's like "beam me up Scotty" ... and you know .. I wish he would!

    Yes, they're on loudspeaker so the sound man can pick up the entire conversation. It would deafen you if you stuck it by your ear.

    The Apprentice is quite good tonight. It's nice to see them working together.

    The politics/oneupmanship thing is really tedious.
