Jumped The Shark

" This is an unrequired but enjoyable afterthought to "The Apprentice", but really works best when a particularly loathsome or ridiculous candidate has just been given the boot - a bit like looking at the desert menu with a slightly full stomach after the main course, in which you think "No, I really can't have anything more" before spotting a particularly enjoyable treat. Best bits? Watching the failed candidate try to rationalise their failure into success, or justifying why their idea - creosote flavoured dental floss, a breakfast cereal named after Grand National winners, or luminous toilet paper - was superb, and not, as Lord Sugar, you, and I, all thought, utter shite.

" This is utter horseshit, school bullying an international scale, in which one kid - the UK - is basically isolated from, and picked on by, everyone else. Seriously, why do we bother entering this? Post "War on Terror", we could've had the Beatles performing a hitherto undiscovered classic, and it wouldn't have mattered a damn - we'd still have lost out to a Europop "classic" like Smerzzy from Poland dressed like Mr Benn on an acid trip warbling some nonsense "schmizzy, schmizzy, yah! Jubnob cristy millzo!". And that's the point, isn't it? Us complaining about losing Eurovision is like Manchester United sulking because they weren't invited to a primary school 5-a-side. Abba aside - and they performed in English - how many European "hitmakers" can you name? "

" Its not the fact that we dont ever win or even come close. Its that everyone still talks about it like we are supposed to care!! Everyone always hates us in Eurovision? I hate us in Eurovision. We suck. "
