Trying to trump Donald Trump!
Laugh if you will, but I've always enjoyed catching Donald Trump's The Apprentice series. The candidate types and team challenges I've found interesting. Another series' aim, Celebrity Apprentice, was for winning teams to have monies donated to the winning team's Project Manager's favourite charity. These series were interesting to watch too.
Now, with another Celebrity Apprentice scheduled, Heather Mills (Paul McCartney's former wife), was considered as a candidate for the show. This lady constantly amazes me with her audacity...she wouldn't take part unless she was guaranteed a place in the finals! Needless to say, NBC pulled the plug on her, because that just ain't the way the game is played. I think she's really lost it. What do you think? Here's the article. |

I suppose you cant blame her for trying but she really is audacious not to mention ambitious isnt she .
Well, she ONLY got £24.3 million out of her divorce when she was after all this: Quote:

Her greed overlooks the simple legal logic of contractual requirements for such shows. Don't know of your Alan Sugar, but I imagine he's just as tough as Trump. Last edited by legalsuit; September 13th, 2008 at 04:14 PM. |

Sorry to be off topic here, but why is it that you quote the previous post every time? I mean, so far this post thread is just between two of you, it's not like several others are replying.
Picture this, you and Julie are sat in a cafe/bar/whatever together chatting, and Julie says something to you, before replying to her, would you repeat the whole thing she says? |

@ lufbra...point taken. However, my use of "(extracts from post)" and "..." on quotes, pinpoints parts I was specificaally responding to.
If we were in a cafe chatting, it would be logical for me to pick what points to talk on But then, different folks, different strokes...I'm accustomed to being specific rather than broad when responding. |

Sir Alan Sugar's "Apprentice"...
Sir Alan Sugar's "The Apprentice" televising in our corner of the world.
When comparing Sugar to Trump, I've found him quite abrasive and belligerent. Personally, I've always considered leadership roles to lead by example and to display respect for the individual while remaining firm and assertive in conveying wishes. Perhaps I caught him acting frustrated with staff that were failing miserably(?!) and not up to expected standard. One project manager I spotted is totally hopeless in understanding objectives and with his communications to team members. Reckon he'll fail miserably, unless his team successfully carries the load. Yep...already sucked in to watching this "Apprentice"...guess I just can't help myself |

Hmmm...Sir Alan Sugar a sweetie underneath it all...With all due respect, I find it difficult to believe there is any sweetness in this chap ironically called "Sugar". Excellence can be achieved from subordinates without being abrasive, (which I find is a negative quality).

The vid was to illustrate that he's not all bad, that he has a sense of humour which is clearly lacking in his TV programme. Despite his abrasive manner, people are still seemingly keen to get his approval and want to work for him.
Guess I just think everyones nice really |
