If not Bill Cullen then who?

Penisland

Seems to be a lot of abuse directed towards Bill here!

But who else would be better suited for the apprentice, in terms of someone coming from nothing (Alan Sugar) rather than someone who had a privileged background (Donald Trump)

Bertie Ahern comes to mind. Couldn't see him getting abuse on AH.

Could we not just axe the show instead?

How would people like Breffney pull in coppers then?

People will always hate different people. We are all different so we won't like the same people.

I like Bill. He seems passionate about making money so fair ****s.

I think you'll find he's actually nearby in Krystle helping to perpetuate the sub-species of privileged inbred morons who currently own the majority of this country.

has anyone got that funny song Dermot Morgan wrote about Ben Dunne. I remember he performed it on the Late Late Show (Gay Byrne) during the build up to the General Elections of 1997. He brought out the party poters (ones where Fianna Fail had a black background, and slagged of Bertie, as the man from the dark side)

They may not survive to the end of the show.;)

How about...

Michael O'Leary, could be entertaining, IF and this is a big IF, he doesn't use it to perpetuate the Ryanair publicity machine.

Bono, could be entertaining, IF and this is a big IF, he doesn't use it to perpetuate the U2 and the shave the wales publicity machine.

Bertie, could be entertaining, IF and this is a big IF, he doesn't use it to perpetuate the Bertie publicity machine.

Sean Quinn, could be entertaining, IF and this is a big IF, he doesn't use it to perpetuate the Quinn Group publicity machine.

You can see where I'm going with this.

Re: The Apprentice. I think it was more to do with the production of the show than anything else, that made it seem cheap and tacky. I mean, the US and UK ones made big business seem ruthless and glamorous. The TV3 one made it seem petty, and small minded. But thats just my view.

The teams can plan and carry out hits on the crime-lord's competitors. Each week, the "fired" one can be given a pair of concrete wellies and dumped somewhere near the Isle of Man. Great television, and well worth the licence fee.

I say axe the show. It must be repellent to foreign investors to see how incompetent some of our workforce can be. It's a secret best kept to ourselves

Why the hell does Ireland have to rely on foreign investment. Why can't we have our own bright sparks, our own Michael Dell or Bill Gates? Or something along those lines.

Irish people only function to their potential when they leave the country.

Ireland and the Irish do not go together. We should all move to Germany or the UK, become hard workers there and lease the whole place to hippies from those two countries who make their home made eclectic highly sought after produce.

Win win situation.

I heard that RTE was offered first refusal to the format but would only do it if Michael O'Leary agreed to be the host.

Ah, Keane would just bottle it and walk away half-way through the series.

Gavin Duffy from the Dragon's Den wouldn't be bad, but I don't think he would be well known enough.

Michael O'Leary would be good, particularly in the Board Room.
