    I think there should def be a list of phrases that contestants aren't allowed to use in the boardroom...

    Eg:
    Make me pm on the next task and I'll show you how wonderful I am...

    I have so much more to give

    I've learnt so much already

    If they are used, they should be automatically fired!! :D
    Any more out there?

    I'd prefer a list of phrases that Bill isn't allowed use.

    Grafter.... Spoofer.... Renault.

    Bill can say whatever he wants cos the crap he comes out with is gas:D
    Phrases that shouldn't be used.
    "I'll hold my hands up for that one"
    "going forward"
    There should be more wild phrases like the one in week 3
    "Don't be show boatin with me" that was gold!

    "I gave 110% on that last task Bill"

    :rolleyes:

    But hes an "entrepreneur" :rolleyes:

    Buying a car franchise is not entrepreneurial FFS. He is a stain on the genuine Irish entrepreneur.

    He's an "Inner-City boy done good".

    Whenever i hear this i vomit a little in my mouth.

    The irish Apprentice is good and entertaining, but Big ol' Bill doesn't come close to the proper daddy, Sir Alan Lord Sugar!

    Seeing him lovingly stroke that bentley every week has the same effect on me, or is it a rolls ah who cares.

    While I do find it impressive that at age 8 he used to go to Moore street to work as a rent boy, I find his campness and weird voice hilarious.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,323 ✭✭✭✭MrStuffins


    And how every year he seems to have gotten up earlier and earlier during his childhood to sell apples and oranges.

    "I used to get up at 5:30..."

    "I used to get up at 5am...."

    "I used to get up at 4:30...."

    Good ol' Bill!

    'Going forward' is the most horrible Apprentice term ever. Not as bad this season though.

    Dave is a cliche machine. Not much between those ears I fear.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 126 ✭✭meathgal2010


    "we need to hit the ground running" if i hear it one more time!!! even when I hear it in work I cringe!! Hope you hit the ground and break your face :D

    "In these harsh ecomonic times"

    Good decision to give up your job to go on TV then eh?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,081 ✭✭✭ziedth


    "your celtic tiger cubs" has poped up a few times.

    "I'm young and here to learn" or something to that effect grinds my gears.

    Alan Sugar is 10 times more watchable IMHO.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,620 ✭✭✭Heroditas


    "I'm looking for genitals"

    Wait, is he looking for genitals or generals?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,602 ✭✭✭patmac


    We should have a cliche competition. Whoever gets the correct phrase wins, must be more than 5 words long. I'll go for:
    'I'm in marketing so I would be ideal as PM'


  • Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators Posts: 4,575 Mod ✭✭✭✭dory


    I'm going to take note of some tonight...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,081 ✭✭✭fricatus


    "In terms of the brief..."

    :rolleyes:

    A guy on the UK apprentice has the best lines.

    "Everything I touch turns to sold"
    "My first word wasn't mummy, it was money"


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 685 ✭✭✭Cactus Colm


    One word that wrecks my head every time it's uttered: Innovation.

    Every task has to have Innovation, but nobody ever uses Innovation in their tasks. Where's the Innovation? Is that Innovation? No, there's no Innovation.

    Stuart Baggs - a legend and an absolute d1ckhead rolled into one! :D

    He's a slave to the one-liners all right. Sounds like one of those fast-talking hypnotist salesmen types flogging gadgets from a stall. What did he say when selling some woman the sausages? "And Madam, if you have any concerns, please keep 'em to yourself!" :rolleyes:

    Or when he changes his tack...he's been looking for "warriors" for years...yer man Barry this week said "warriors" back to him and Bill doesn't acknowledge it!

    "I want this more than anything"
    ... equally nauseating whether it comes from a talentless apprentice candidate or deluded x-factor hopeful.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 121 ✭✭butters.scotch


    "To be honest Bill..."


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 642 ✭✭✭Flimbos


    "Liathróidí..."


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,939 ✭✭✭ballsymchugh
