    Not if I'm standing near Wandsworth Bridge as he has no idea where that is

    And there you have the point of Syed.

    He even considered leaving some raffle tickets out of the prize draw because he forgot to write the buyers' names on the back. I'm not sure I can be @rsed to watch any more episodes, now that the main interest has gone.

    It was bad programming - putting him up against the one person Alan Sugar could not fire. Sugar as much as admitted it.

    And thats what its all about - ratings. I read somewhere (not on this forum) that wtf did the producers think they were doing letting an idiot like Syed through when he is clearly not the type of person AMS would want to employ.
    What a plonker - the producers clearly came up trumps with Syed as he has made it top watching. And S'rallen would have been happy as no doubt he is getting a kick-back based on viewing figures. "I wont fire Syed just yet, as he is what is making people watch"
    Makes perfect economic sense to me.

    I would not piss on Syed if he was on fire. He's slime. I watched The Apprentice - You're Fired after-show bit, and they were almost congratulating him for a job well done. I was thinking, "Hang on. Have they been watching the same show as me? What about the lies, deceit, gratuitous arse-licking..". Jane Moore was practically slipping off her seat - I think she was after a bunk-up. I wouldn't employ Syed as a dog-catcher. Bloody good telly, though.

    But you know the old saying about scum...it always rises to the top. So dont expect Syed to stay a loser for too long, with the brillian PR job the sleazy scym and Suggar Daddy have done Syed is set for a long and rewarding career making money

    Unfortunately scum like Syed has a way of getting and staying at the top!

    If scum always gets to the top, how do you explain the fact that you're a tea-boy/office junior?

    Syed's personal webtulipe is http://www.syed-ahmed.com - as you can imagine, its completely understated, not pompous self promoting stuff at all !
    Interestingly (or not !), the link to his IT People site does nothing, and a bit of trawling the net implies the address is http://www.it-people.net which is not working !!! Maybe he needs to recruit an IT Contractor to sort it out

    Course it was filmed last year. The Thames festival was in September.

    I would imagine he's been back on the scene for a while now. I dont think the show is 'near live' (ie. filmed the week before). I swear in last weeks episode where they had to rent flats I heard Paul say something like 'here we are in 2005'. Having working previously in a company that supports the television industry I know this is how they do things.

    Sayed has done a brilliant PR job for highlighting the deceitful way certain recruiters work. I think it was mentioned last night that his reputation now would make it difficult for him to do business leading from the front. On the other side Paul the Headhunter seems to be showing the good side of recruitment.

    .. and don't buy any double glazing or used cars until you know who 'owns' the company....

    big brother type C class 'celebrity' beckons for a fortnight, then he will get his own show, which will be an expensive flop and everyone will forget him.


    I hope his ex workmates are having a good laugh at him though...
