Now that was great TV! The Apprentice was top quality tonight with Syed and Ruth going head to head in the Board room. And boy did they fight there corners. I was glad that the one who was fired, was fired, but I am disliking Paul more and more. Shame he keeps being on the winning team.
The next week with the interviews also looks good. The clip we saw was very teasing. Paul saying "I get on with everybody" and the interviewer replying "Well your not getting on with me"

The Apprentice- best TV ever!

I am writing this blog really because I am intensely envious of all those involved....

UK pro-gamers are mourning the loss of the most lucrative tournament in computer gaming.
In 2005 the World Tour organised by the Cyberathlete Professional League (CPL) gave away $1m in prizes to pro-gamers at 10 events held around the globe.
Many expected the World Tour 2006 to be more successful as it picked Quake IV as its central game.

But the tour has been cancelled for 2006, leaving many pro-gamers wondering how to make their lifestyle pay.

Three words spring to mind Job, get and a
Still it's nice work if you can get it.
Flicking through the archives i found a similar report from 1976

UK pro-gamers are mourning the loss of the most lucrative tournament in computer gaming.
In 1975 the World Tour organised by the Cyberathlete Professional League (CPL) gave away £100 in prizes to pro-gamers at 10 events held around the globe.
Many expected the World Tour 1976 to be more successful as it picked PONG as its central game. Spectators were said to be thrilled by the fast paced, Tennis style action.

But these games can make or break teenagers.

When Johnathan Wendel was 13 years old, his mother scuppered his ambition of becoming a top player.

... appaarently she told him to tidy his room and go do his paper round! Mothers eh?

I am home now. SO that's what my f>:XX blog looks like. I can't f>:XX believe that I can read everyone elses blog at work but can't access my own. Something to do with f>:XX inappropriate language. Obviously as a professional I dont really look at blogs at work, its just the kids have them on and I have to check the content... honest guv!

It's hard to believe that John Prescott has been having an affair. Is her really that gorgeous? Will he be the next image to adorn the ceilings of Gynaecology wards? Perhaps he would prefer maternity wings, after all it will be nine months before patients will be able to throw their eggs at him!
