There used to be a chain of newsagents called John Menzies, and when i was on holiday north of the border, i was confounded by the locals calling it "Ming-iss", which i took to mean that was the correct (or at least traditional) pronunciation. Who's to say who is right or wrong with language and dialect?Who doesn't? The bloke down the road or the politician?

I suspect anywhere other than the wilds of Scotland it is!What, Menzies isn't said men-zees ?
Lat ayI hate the pronunciation of latte in the Costa ads, it is not lartay ffs
Yes like patéLat ay
Latt-eh
Nor is it Gee-arn-ee or Gee-oh-varney - it's Jann-ee and Jo-vann-ee (with a soft J - phonetics people would probably spell it Dz)
His surname isn't Men-zees is it???I know a Geovanni that pronounceable Gee-oh-varney or at least doesn’t correct everyone else who does.
Nothing sadder than a soft cream cracker.Leaving one cream cracker in the packet.
Put Gyökeres into Google translate as Hungarian and it sounds “yurkeresh”
Silent G is right.
Sounds a bit like an o with an umlaut in German?The mistake most people make with Gyökeres is the ö. It is pronounced like you have written it, but most people will treat it like a normal O.

The type of gimps that do a lot of networking and big themselves up but know absolutely nothing. It's like dealing with a 4 year old who knows absolutely nothing yet you look at their website or linked in and they are bragging about being an expert about everything.
My favourite thing is to just reel them in and then make them feel stupid.

You meet a lot of these in tech, lots of buzzwords and nothing once you scratch the surface.
Bullshit baffles brains we used to call it.
Surely it's just a case of switching off then back on. No need for IT experts, we all know this is all that is required!Yep, IT-specific.
I'd much prefer somebody to say they don't know or it isn't their area and be honest about it than try and bullshit.
Not have somebody who claims to be an expert in IT support ask me the most basic of questions.
Same on the Apprentice.Yep, IT-specific.

Oh god. That's all setup like love Island though.Same on the Apprentice.
someone who is 23 and working in recruitment (for example) for 2 years and suddenly they’re an expert?
No you’re fucking not….
How do you pronounce the full name then? My dad goes with ‘Djokovic’, which I should really call him out on, but then again I still haven’t landed on a consistent pronunciation for Hamer after three years, so I’m no better.The mistake most people make with Gyökeres is the ö.

Clive pronounces it Bid-well most of the time in fairnessYer-ker-es(h) is about as accurate as you can get if you tried to spell it out in English.
Clive pronounces it Yo-ker-es

The Apprentice in general. Watched the first one of the new series last night and i'm not sure i'll bother with it anymore. It's become a caricature of itself, and i fear for the world of business if this is any indication of what the best people are like. Luckily, i'm able to rationalise that it is only an entertainment programme on the telly, and not meant to be University Challenge, but Jeez-us they are an objectionable bunch this year.Same on the Apprentice.

The women all seem to think they are on Love Island if the amount of lip filler on show is anything to go by. Truly, truly revolting. What do women think people want to see???
/exit rant mode
the first series was OK as you got more of a sense that it was people that actually wanted a business opportunity but as you say since then its people more concerned with being famousIt's so fake and setup, it would be alright if it was actual business people but it's purely for TV.
I think a few of them have made a go of things - but there have been a few high-profile unfair dismissal claims against Alan Sugar. What do you expect if you employ serial narcissists???the first series was OK as you got more of a sense that it was people that actually wanted a business opportunity but as you say since then its people more concerned with being famous
Have any of the winners since the chap on the first series actually gone on to have decent non-media careers?
