They had a geezer on the annoying "In My Opinion" feature on 5Live yesterday morning. Professor from the business school at Bristol Uni: "In my opinion, the Apprentice is not an accurate reflection of the behaviours expected in the world of business".Katie Hopkins was on one season I think, which shows you the calibre of people they have on. Although complaining about The Apprentice not rewarding business knowledge is like complaining about the refereeing in WWE.
Nearly as bad as British people in Italy getting passive aggressive with a waiter for bringing them warm milk after they’ve ordered one.I hate the pronunciation of latte in the Costa ads, it is not lartay ffs
Yeah they are a bunch of dipshits, which does make it watchable despite them being exceedingly annoyingly incompetent and pretty ghastly individuals to boot!As irritating as everyone on it is I can't resist seeing them all either be cut down to size or invariably do it themselves.

Week 1 greengrocer task: "What colour are oranges?"
For leaving out the "caffe"??Nearly as bad as British people in Italy getting passive aggressive with a waiter for bringing them warm milk after they’ve ordered one.
The fact each of them comes in with a business proposal now surely means they already know who they'll have at the end and so just spend 12 weeks farting about making the rest of the vain dickheads in power suits look like the thickest people you'll ever meet.
I say it on purpose to wind my other half up, she still falls for it every time - also the pronunciation of bruschetta is a good one.On the coffee theme…People who say ‘Expresso’ instead of ‘Espresso’.
It doesn’t annoy me but used to really annoy my Italian ex.
She used to tell me off for it every time I did it…which was every time.

“It is a Panino if you’re only ordering one! Panini is plural. How many more times”!?!I say it on purpose to wind my other half up, she still falls for it every time - also the pronunciation of bruschetta is a good one.
WRONGBrush-etta
On Masterchef when you get pompous twats like Marcus Wareing saying tortellinis or raviolis!!! Or a bain-marie (pronouncing it BAYN). Tosser!“It is a Panino if you’re only ordering one! Panini is plural. How many more times”!?!
An Italian told me that we pronounce penne incorrectly (should be penn-e not penn-y) and the way we pronounce it was a very different word in Italian.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)

No shit Sherlock - have some more of your massive professorial salary!
Ask for a Latte in Italy and you get a glass of milk - no idea how it got turned into a coffee.I hate the pronunciation of latte in the Costa ads, it is not lartay ffs
Shouldn’t you be asking for a caffe latte?Ask for a Latte in Italy and you get a glass of milk - no idea how it got turned into a coffee.
The mispronunciation of Moschino in the UK is another one.An Italian told me that we pronounce penne incorrectly (should be penn-e not penn-y) and the way we pronounce it was a very different word in Italian.
Way over priced?The mispronunciation of Moschino in the UK is another one.
Is that similar to Spanish with conjugation?I'm trying to learn Italian at least to a basic level and while I reckon I've got pronunciation pretty much mastered from day one, I can't get to grips with sentence structure and remembering which of the 12 versions of each verb is correct in the context. Just moved on to questions as well, completely lost
Exactly that, yeahIs that similar to Spanish with conjugation?
like to drink
Tu bebes
Yo bebo
Nosotros bebemos
etc etc?
Right head fuck, just as you think you have got the hang of it you find some irregular verb that doesn’t follow the rules
Unfortunately you just need to practise and try to memorise them - they do grammar in school until quite late and have to recite them. The regular verbs follow a pattern and you can quickly pick that up and then it’s case of learning irregular verbs - a lot of the other tenses are somewhat easier to learn though once you’ve mastered the basics.Exactly that, yeah
io bevo, tu bevi, lui beve, noi beviamo, etc (think those are right), there's logic to it but it's a lot to remember each time. I bet it's a piece of piss for a Spaniard to learn Italian and vice versa
Being a private school boy I did Latin and so picking up basic Italian was relatively OK, but to be honest a French or Spanish speaker would find it easy. In general though when you talk to a native speaker don’t get too caught up on grammar-if a non native English speaker messes up their grammar with you but the vocabulary is still thereabouts, you can understand them just fine.Exactly that, yeah
