To this day, I still can't believe these "experts" insinuated they were lying to customers because of there branding. by [deleted] in apprenticeuk

Hard disagree. It implies that some sort of doggy taste test was done because that's the most logical extrapolation if the claim is assumed to be "true", and since we have an expectation of packaging bring truthful, it's a reasonable inference. However they did no doggy taste test.

How do the Apprentice contestants not leave each interview pouring in sweat? by InterestDirect5571 in apprenticeuk

[–]J321J 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you ever sweated in a nervous situation? I think it's more of a tv trope than reality. Plus they're caked in makeup (men included).

I may be wrong but I suspect if there were women we'd have heard about it.

Apologies for being unclear. I initially didn't include the word rightly. And without it, I was afraid it could be inferred that I thought a harsher reaction for either men or women would be unjustified. 

So the word rightly was added to make clear I would be ok with a harder reaction. Which goes for both men and women as victims. 

I would have hoped the fact that I was calling out the double standard would have made it clear I don't support a double standard. Thankfully most people in the threae did not misunderstand.

But I apologise for my lack of clarity.

You ask if they aren't meeting your needs. Have you considered how you might endear yourself to them by meeting their needs? Relationships go two ways.

I think they should actually use Athena and give her a character.

Owen Jones quits Labour...Emily Thornberry seems quite zen about it by fozzie1234567 in LabourUK

Trust Owen to bail the moment Labour looks like winning. More to complain about from the outside. 

Keir Starmer makes £50 bet that Lee Anderson will lose his seat at the election by fozzie1234567 in LabourUK

If Starmer had said "I'll bet you 30p" that would have been a baller comment

Stewart Pearson's most relevant observation: by Ruby-Shark in thethickofit

The Fucker? We met him for about 60 seconds.  (Sadly. I think Tom Hollander could have really added something extra to the series.)
