William Shatner will be personally on hand with Harrison Ford at every Asda store in the UK for a year, I'll be your personal sex slave and we'll even agree to pay you £20 for every packet you sell"

    Winner!

    Bollocks.

      Mrs MF has just told me she reckons I'm too old to apply for it this year.

      I used to love doing pitches at retailers like Boots, Sainsbury's, Tescos.

        They did very well. In two days they've gone from having no product to selling 1.6 million quids worth.

          I suspect the interview stage will see off that Melody. She's useless except for being able to speak French and being good TV as the baddy.

          Market research? She f**ks it up. Sales pitch? That excruciating sales pitch was all her idea. Bulltulip in the boardroom? Worse than Jim, and without his charm (irony alert). Relationship with colleagues? Sh1t. Team-player? No.

          Her CV sounds a load of old bollocks as well, and I reckon the interviewers will get to the bottom of that.

            Yep. WDSS.
            You won't be alerting anyone to anything with a mouthful of mixed seeds.

              That was Jim, not Tom.

                Is the air a little thinner down where you are Poppins? I was talking about Jim, he was the one who did the pitch. Please explain where it says or infers Tom?

                Have you been making things up in your head again????

                      I'm north of you, you southern twit.

                      In your post, you quoted a post from Cojak saying 'Tom. Skin of his teeth'.

                      That was where you inferred you were referring to Tom.
