God I hate Claude's interview technique. He's just abrasive and aggresive.

He tends to be quite nice about people in the post interview chat bit. He clearly thinks his technique is an effective way to bring out the best in people with potential. But he's just a bit of a oval office.

I did like his appearance on your fired when he was talking about how "spunk money up the wall" guy just folded under pressure, and he had such a huge grin on his face.

Now, what's the different between a oval office, and a guy who pretends to be a oval office.

There isn't one

I think Courtney's a twat but that's not how you treat an interviewee.

If that was a real job interview he'd have walked out disgusted.

Why does nobody just say "zuckerberg, gates and Allen" when all these super important mongoloids infer that to be a good business person you have to be able to flog shite on a market? It's so daft. Real business is not like an 80s stock broker fantasy in nigh on all cases

If Christmas is anything like Easter, nobody in my family will be able to drink sitting down without my 2 year old niece waddling over and clinking her sippy-cup. Although she can't quite do the ch sound.

So basically that's my secret santa sorted.

No it's just his ambition.

He's going to win because Sugar will not invest in a cake business and won't take kindly to investing in someone who won't use their own personal savings because rararrararagh aerials from back of van started with £20 in his pocket :bahgawd:

Also we shouldn't encourage people saving to buy their own house in TYOOL 2016. You either rent forever or get wealthy as gently caress before property ownership is a feasible concept.

I love how the interviewers pull up information not on the resumes.
"At 11 you had a lemonade stand but closed it down after one weekend. A neighbour complained it was too tart to drink and customers were forced to add their own sugar. What went wrong, have you learned anything from that harrowing experience?"

Yes Courtney could win by default because his is the only business plan that has a hope of scaling up. And it would be hilarious if he is announced as winner and his expression & demeanour still don't change.
