Apprentice 5: Episode 3: Not Having a Cloche Doesn't Get you Tea or Sympathy.

0 comments


Gavin was a nice guy he seemed to have something about him but in this seek and buy mission he finished where we don't like to see nice guys finish. The problem was prevarication and a laughable lack of influence over a team which was as chaotic and rudderless as a stricken speedboat steered by a wild mustang.  That said the winning margin for team venture despite being ready to pay just under a grand for some tea was just 8 quid. There was plenty of cluellessness. The idea that Top Hat dry cleaners was a new niche in the economy means that the starlight dry cleaners I pass en rout to Croydon has to be careful lest anyone think its there for cleaning heavily bodies. Talking of which gods gift Vincent graduated from bro management to boor management as he sought to manage the women as though they were scatty airheads who would give the budget to a passing charity chugger.  That said I wasn't pleased when the women ended up being so compliant before Vain Vince Dartagnan. I was shocked that Ellie didn't tell him to get lost when he too away the phone. . Mind you they all got lost in spectacular fashion believing that top of the range millinery and fabrics can be bought in a little Harry Potter street in London called nine and a half snob street Mayfair. Melody whose voiceover has been toned down wasn't so bad and psychos Queen Edna was so quiet I thought she was leading prayers. Talking of faith would anyone seriously have thought about paying the price for the tea hand picked in Turkey if a geezer called Memet in a spurs top had been the vendor?   All conmen now employ a boho woman to wax organically outside a gastro pub about overpriced leaves. It’s where the money is.

All to play for as there seriously isn't anyone who is impressing.

There was also the cloche clot who thought it was a garden implement.  Where was the general knowledge? Though based on the Top Hat example they probably think that's knowing stuff about military leaders. Anyhow Susan did well after being blotted out by Edna last week. All to play for as there seriously isn't anyone who is impressing.
