The Apprentice Returns Again

Well it is that time of the year again, when hopeless business big heads want a slice of Lord Sugar’s money. The new series of The Apprentice is set to appear on our small screens again showing why the country is in the mess it is in with people like those shown in the show running companies and coming up with ideas to make money.

 

Gone has getting a job in Lord Sugar’s empire and now the hapless business men and women get a cool quarter of a million pounds to invest in their idea. Now this has to be a good thing, after all it saves on all the hassle for Lord Sugar of having to get rid of them if they live up to their TV performances. The thing is they had better spend it fast before the pound isn’t worth a penny due to the Governments quantitative easing programme which has effectively devalued the currency to levels it is at today.

The plus side to the programme which as such buffoons running around trying to make money for Lord Sugar and messing it up, is that it makes good viewing. So join me and watch them getting sacked as your wonder how they can royally mess up something that is so simple, after all the best business men and women just need one thing, common sense and that is one quality they all seemed have to lacked in recent series.

Just One of those Days

It's just been one of those days when you just want to crawl under a stone and hope that nobody will ever find you, and boy has it has been one of those days today in a big big way. 

I just hope that another day in the future things will get better, they couldn't get worse than they are today, for there are times in life when hope is all you seem to have left and you cling on to that for dear life.

Britian's Got Talent Returns

Well tonight saw the start of another year of the viewing ratings winner Britain’s got Talent, and a family favourite to boot, and what a show it was. It was certainly one of the best, if not the best, opening night to the show in an age.

 

There were so many great acts all packed into one show as well as the usual mix of funny but forgettable acts that contrast so beautifully with the acts that stand out as being special.
 

The two child acts that showed the young talent in the show came from a singer and a young comedian, who whatever happens seemed destined, if they so desire to have a future in their fields of entertainment. They were:

• Arisxandra Libantino - Singer - (Video Link)
• Jack Carroll - Comedian - (Video Link)

Then the two adult acts that stood out, these being a troop of 9 shadow dancers from Hungary and a female singer with the sexy and sultry voice who sang like a goddess. They were:

• Attraction - Shadow Dancers - (Video Lonk)
• Alice Fredenham - Singer - (Video Link)

I hope the rest of the show continues like this, for if that is dose we have something fun and exciting to take our minds off the appalling mess the country is in. We could all do with a bit of cheer in what seems a cheerless world for many if you read the news.

Feels like Spring

Well the weather has turned at last for the better and fingers crossed we won't have any more snow until next winter. It really feels at the moment that spring has arrived and although not warm, there is the promise of warmer weather to come.

 

What I love about this time of year is that it normally feels like a time of rebirth with the countryside turning from the browns of the winter into the lush greens of the spring. Then there are the birds and their songs and the gardenss blooming with lovely yellow daffodils.

As for the blog you never know I might start writing again if things one day manage to sort themseleves out and I have something to say.

Thank You

Just a quick thank you for all the people that have read the blog over the years. I just noticed the counter has tipped the 100,000 mark, something I never thought would have been possible when I statred it. One day I will start posting again until then another thank you for your time and in some cases support. Love to you all.
