Did you know there are 6 million cat owners in the UK?

If you didn't you obviously didn't watch the television car-crash that is 'The Apprentice' last night.

Last night pharmacist Nargis was 'fired' after her team failed to sell as many charity calendars as their male rivals 'Invicta' (think of the worst golf-club bar you can think of, and then multiply this by a factor of 10 and you will have some idea of the sheer awfulness of the Invicta 'guys').

It perhaps wasn't surprising that Nargis and her team lost this particular challenge - asked to design a calendar for world famous childrens' hospital Great Ormond Street, they decided to give their calendar a 'cute kitten' theme...errm, yes the connection obvious isn't it? Childrens hospital, kittens, geddit?! No,. neither could anyone else either, but Nargis's team ploughed ahead no doubt mindful of the old team-working adage that 'None of us is as dumb as all of us'.

Of course, 'The Apprentice' is pretty monstrous TV, with absolutely no redeeming features or greater worth - I shall therefore be watching avidly for the next couple of months!

carl an Lynn agree - we watched from behind cushions. Thought the fella who gave the presentation was the worse - "we hold the truth that children have a right to be healthy to be self evident"(a strange mix of Esther Rantzen and the Constitution of the United States.

Agree with Carl - the so called management consultant was dire. Did you see this week - I did enjoy the bitching and the back biting. It is real trash TV and I am embarrassed to admit how much I enjoy it (and how much I end up agreeing with Alan Sugar).
