    I've seriously never watched an Episode - but I'm pretty certain I don't like it <ok>

    What I really hate is books with peoples faces on them - as a rule of thumb they are always terrible, and that **** Alan Sugar has his face on the front of far too many books.

    It's amusing in a way, bunch of pretentious fuds spouting pretentious pish.

    However take note of any buzzwords you hear during the season, you are sure to hear many of them replicated in any business meetings you attend over the coarse of the next year. Seemingly people don't go to Uni to learn business anymore, they watch the apprentice.

    Agree with you on books, only one I've ever semi-enjoyed with the persons face on it was Jinky's, and it was probably a biased review.

    Actually auto/biographies are the only exception for the no face rule, because they always have the persons face on 'em.

    Mr Nice was a brilliant book.

    I've not read it, but with a quick google, was that the character who was on buzzcocks a few seasons back?

    I'm not a big fan of auto/biographies, generally there aren't too many people who's life I am interested in. Frankie Boyle's was ok, but I only read it because someone recommended it then gave me a copy at no expense.

    I'll maybe take a look at Mr Nice <ok>

    Mr Nice was a belting book, Jim McCann was hilarious (New Lodger I believe). Film sucked monster balls 'cos you can't fit the book into a couple of hours. The way they tried to film it fancy took the realism out of it imo. You can't make standing in a field arguing with a deranged provo look fancy.
