We rushed home from "Drag Me To Hell", our Orange Wednesday trip to the cinema last night in time to catch the wannabee young apprentices on TV. This week's task was to perform live on television whilst grumpy old Sir Al watched from a distance. He wanted them to go out and sell themselves and make sure they hit their targets. As usual his faithful pair of old codgers were on hand to help him out and he even took the unusual step of making one of them team leader (only for him not to be seen for the next hour when he was replaced by the other who seemed intent on taking big chunks out of the competition).Sir Al wanted them to go for bling. He had his eyes on that enormous silver cup with the big handles but the team went for the safe option and went instead for the small silver medals engraved with the word "LOSER". Which was a big mistake as the cup was a big ticket item with an estimated £96m payback which Sir Al could have used to keep little Carlos in the side.Fortunately for the viewers, the other team played a blinder. We missed the boardroom scenes but I'm pretty sure that Sir Al will have pointed the finger and said "Berbatov. You're fired!"
Meanwhile on BBC1 "The Apprentice" had a similar theme with the contestants having to sell live on a TV shopping channel.Even the glamorous Kate was unable to use her charms to sell a polystyrene cat that you pushed pins into.Perhaps a polystyrene Sir Al would have brought better results. The show ended with the ever jovial James likening himself to Hugh Heffner. Left in the house with those women I think I would have opted for Macbeth, James.
Meanwhile our photographer Peter Raymond sent me a link to a bizarre news story about the proposed launch of a new reality TV show. It seems that past contestants on "I'm a Celebrity" are getting together to launch "It's an Election.". So far David Van Day and Esther Rantzen have thrown their hats into the ring. Peter Andre was very interested until he realised that he'd misread the title.
I see that Nicholas Soames has launched an official complaint against the BNP using Churchill's image in their campaign literature although why Nicholas is worried about a stuffed dog with a Yorkshire accent is beyond me. Oh yes! Have you noticed how whenever a BNP supporter is interviewed on TV they always, without exception, start by saying "I'm not racist but"? Isn't it strange how they always forget to finish the sentence. I'll do it for them "I'm not racist but I AM very thick."
As for last night's film "Drag Me To Hell". It was a very entertaining bit of fun with plenty of jump out of your seat shocks and a lot of laugh raising horrors. As we were forty years older than the vast majority of the audience we found it hard to cope with their constant traipsing in and out of the cinema to check their text messages. I would have gladly dragged them to hell.
Here at Instanta the Dealer Newsletter is now in the post. Look out for it.
Quote of the night came from Andy Gray during Sky Sport's coverage of the Champions League Final. It was twenty three minutes from the end and United were trailing 2-0. "If they don't do something in 23 minutes, it will be all over." Talk about stating the bleedin obvious. I'll finish with last night's lesson for the young apprentices.
