    Even I have a few.

          Only caught the arguments in the 'bored' room at the end. She looks a pain in the @rse. I'd hate to work with her and her global consultancy. I'm guessing that's India and the UK then. I doubt my global consultancy will be doing much work with hers.

          I like also how her business makes a profit by showing disadvantaged kids how to get on in life. I wonder how many she's helped.
          Rule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.

          I preferred version 1!

            no idea - I'd still give her one though (should that one in a billion event ever get offered)

                What marks Helen out as a winner is the lack of ME ME ME ME ME ME ME, in fact she's so boring she barely gets any TV time except for when she makes the winning pitches

                  Melody? Not me.

                  She'd go on throughout about how she set up the date, chose the condom flavour, had to disrobe herself, etc, etc.

                  And she'd provide the wrong product (ehem, whatever the wrong product might be in this case)
