Good.

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay! You go LEE MCQUEEN ?

and just in case you didn't know

https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/news/showbiz/s/1053101_our_alex_is_the_business

not followed this series but I believe Alex is only 24

Woohooooo

Good choice.

Yay Lee!

<mutter> should have been Raef <mutter>

Bless his cotton socks. I wonder if his language will improve or he'll still swear as soon as he gets a bit excited

Clur has got some great attributes <childish snigger>

I read in the paper there was going to be a twist - not much of a twist there!

It was obvious at the point where he said something along the lines of "Claire, I don't know if I could put up with you" or words to that effect.

Gah, was hoping it'd be Claire. Wikipedia was right - wonder how they got that one?

My mistake - sorry! Had a bit of a dim moment about Lee and Alex's ages!

Hmmm... Not sure Suh Alan went for the best candidate, but he chose the more malleble person, I think. Claire would have been much harder work.

Shouted "Come on!" and "That's what I'm talking about" a lot!

Swore.

Made weird noises.

Made rubbish suggestions when brainstorming ideas.

? Well done Lee McQueen! Yay!

I really thought he would go for Claire. I am interested to hear what Alex, Claire and Helene have to say you're Fired.

has he ever employed a woman?

Yes Michelle Dewbury.

Michelle, in series 2 - who got pregnant by a fellow candidate, miscarried & then resigned from the job.

Just got a text message from my sister: "Claire's the real winner - Lee's a total numpty".

And didn't he offer Katie a job but she turned him down?

He employs Margaret and Frances!

ah and reading on Wiki that didn't work out too well.

Yelled at Sara when she came back from the boardroom about not pulling her weight - despite being on the opposite team.

Congrats to Lee!

Oh - think he really missed a trick then

lee was great at sales but a bit of a twallop really

i loved clur - agree with FW she could do with a bit of smartening up - but definitely got a brain on her

YES YES YES LEE WON

What a good series.

I hope you all use my tag now - how prescient of me as I've been using it for at least two weeks?

I haven't seen it yet but now BBC breakfast news had told me ? I am thinking wtf? Does Lee give better head than Claire or something?

They were all crap and Lee was a fraction less crap than the others. I have to say the cheesy 70's advertising campaign for 'Roulette' had me in stitches - it was hilarious.

Anyone notice how thoroughly uncomfortable Simon from last year looked when the cameras were on him? Wonder what the story is there....?

I suspect that was editing rather than what actually happened though - you didn't actually see him speaking to her, you saw him saying peopole need to pull their weight, and you saw her face looking shocked. There was nothing to suggest taht he was saying it to her, or indeed that her raction was even to what he was saying.

They do it on Kitched Nightmares too - people arguing in the kitchen, diners turning around looking towards them. What's actually happening is that they're looking for their dinner at some other time and can't hear any row at all. Editing it just makes it look better...or worse IYSWIM.

Most of my male friends do they are between 18-30 and all rugby players they say it makes their d i c k look bigger in the shower ? !! I think it looks gross!!

ETA Oops i was supposed to quote- only read the first couple of pages!! But Yay for Lee a worthy winner out of all of them!

Sara seemed really pleased for him on You're Hired. I thought it was a bit awkward with Suralan and last year's winner Simon?

This year's Simon looked a bit jittery and like he was about to cry I thought.

Simon Ambrose & Sur Alan's Son Simon had a huge barney - grapevine has it as Ambrose was sidelining at the expence of Amsprop. I did think (& sure read somewhere) he no longer works there.

Also the Hotel/Golf resort near Stanstead maybe a no goer. Unless Stanstead gets the go ahead for a new runway - Airport will be mainly for family holiday makers & those who live near the airport.
