Our man in Havana

Let the games begin.

kerry4sam

selling Garmin products ... They have to be sales managers which each team selling 3 of the companies products

MagicMarker

heh heh, Nikki's PM.

robo

Give a give a give a give a Garmin...
If any of them sing that, I shall throw my mug of coffee at the TV :P

kerry4sam

woo hoo ... if the adverts are anything to go by then, this should be really humourous to watch

Ah, damn you. That's stuck in my mind again.

Back OT - Nikki is so out of her league.

Toto Wolfcastle

I don't get why they are given everything they need to sell stuff.

They are basically sales people.

kerry4sam

I wonder if Bill chose Nicki to see for definite if she had any managerial skills and with no plan B and practically spent the first day doing the same thing over and over and not generating the results for the hours that were being put in...ah bless :rolleyes:

Re TV3 apology after during the first ad break - Was Mr Mongey Joanna's boss??

KevIRL

Did both teams sell just one item between them both on the first day?

LOL

I think so yeah...the apology was cut very short wasn't it

TheCosmicFrog

What exactly was that apology about?

MagicMarker

What fúcking dope is going to spend 150-300 euro on the street?

This whole task is just retarded.

robo

It was very brief, barely heard the first few words and some of the last words were vague!

Garmin are supporting the GAA...jaysus, that is great!
Does Stuart not need a permit to sell them?

Daith

That stall looks so "got these from the back of a lorry"!

Toto Wolfcastle

By the way they are having problems with names again. They keep calling it an Origin.

kerry4sam

did Orla seriously just ask "is their a match on" but damn it wouldn't the jerseys give that away :rolleyes:

robo

If your county loses the All-Ireland, you can use the Sat NAV to find your way home or to a new county to support

amdublin

What was said in the apology?

amdublin

Bet Garmin are delighted with their stuff being sold in a market.

robo

It was an apology about showing a text from a Mr Mongey on the show that Joanna was fired. The text was not from Mr Mongey and that was what the speedy apology said.

kerry4sam

this is just a joke this week ... what a waste.

Now if only one of them showed some initiative

MagicMarker

This reminds me of the time a knacker offered to sell me dvds in a car park.

Utopia Parkway

Disasterous task this week.

kerry4sam

I think they are just cheapening the good branded name that Garmin has actually spent money on building up

Howjoe1

tough task for timeframe to be fair

kerry4sam

Stuart is some operator ... feel sorry for Shane though this week

Linku

Even though I know the reason the show was moved to 10 was because of I'm A Celebrity, there's been a fair few 'f**k's and a 'bollocks' tonight, I don't recall any cursing on the show before?

This task is disastrous, didn't they say at the beginning they had 600 to sell? I can't believe they didn't supply them with more sales merchandise, it makes the company looks really unprofessional.

Especially over a weekend.

Tableman

Shane in the shopping centre was the only one to look at all professional.

kerry4sam

@ Robo ... sell a sell a sell a sell a Garmin

He'll probably be fired so.

robo

Yep the language is fairly bad this week.

There has to be somewhere that they would have sold better at. Perhaps Mondello or a cheaper model at the market with a good discount. People go to the markets to get good bargains...but at a cheap price!

Going to Dun Laoighre or down to Croke Park was a stupid idea (2 of many from this week).

Howjoe1

if you met a bloke walking down the street with a few sat navs under his arm, you'd assume they were knocked off! People at markets would be looking for something for less than €50

You are cruising for a bruisin'

It's going to be cut throat in the board room now by the looks of it.
Everyone blaming everyone.

lets the blood bath beign!

Toto Wolfcastle

After all the build up this week this better be good!

nickhx

love that fake sliding door in the boardroom!

P.C.

Love the 'Star Trek' door that Bill enters the board room through.

Wonder how much someone was paid to open it from the side!

kerry4sam

You got there before me.

Utopia Parkway

They had one of those on the original Star Trek.

Linku

This episodes been terrible, needs a Joanna style revelation now to redeem it!

Everyone was terrible this week, don't know how you could pick anyone to fire over this task, so it'll probably be another Paddy-style bad choice again.

Also, not sure if it's just me, but it seems that they had lot less time for this task than most others, and having it at the weekend? All awful planning.

P.C.

Brenda looks like a nun sitting in the boardroom.

nickhx

put them all up for firing!

maybe she was looking for devine inspiration or a blessing

robo

Is Shane going to get the boot???

kerry4sam

bets now people before the firing begins ... who will be fired?

I'd say - Orla for the door
