Me and the Mrs had that debate and we came to the conclusion it must be disallowed, which is odd. Why limit their tools when they don't really reflect on the task.Originally Posted by MadduckUK
There's not a chance in hell, if it were allowed, they wouldn't have been called on it.
its stuuuuuupid, i guess Sugar hates the internet because the Amstrad E-m@iler got killed by it.

Possibly, or possibly because for some tasks it may trivialise it/send both teams quickly to the same place (best deal for instance).
I see no harm in definitions/item type locating though. Perhaps hard to control so the blanket "no" is in force.
On reflection it is even more odd that the app designing one, they didn't jump online to see what people download. Or maybe they did and a bunch of suits tap-tap-tappity on google isn't very exciting
no less exiting than them flicking through a yellow pages looking puzzled

But then people get a smug sense of superiority going "duhhhhh use da intartoobs"
I'm still undecided about Jim. He's certainly got the gift of the gab, and is a right player, but he also comes across as a bit Machiavellian. He's a slick operator in many ways, for sure, but if I were Sugar and putting up the money to go into business with him, would I trust him? Can he really walk the walk, is is he just very good at talking the talk?
I want to see how he really performs under pressure, but I guess that's what happens in the latter stages. And I really hope he gets as far as the interview stage, because I want to see how he handles Sugar's interviewing attack dogs. If he's nothing more than a glib bull-poop artist, he'd better be world class if he's going to bull-poop his way past them.
As do I, if only to see him talk (jedi hand wave) them into sacking themselves.I want to see how he really performs under pressure, but I guess that's what happens in the latter stages.

I like him, its very hard to tell for sure from the editing but he's always come across as a bit of a grafter who just gets it done no matter the task. Soup task in particular and some of the insane haggles he got in the buying task.
The one that stuck in my mind was the double discount at the butchers, which if not gotten would have lost them the task. Sure, a team effort but knocking the owner down that far, then jedi mind-tricking the accountant for another £10...to go on and win the task by about £7....just brilliant.
It will be most interesting for me to see him PM, I really hope he gets the chance and isn't sacked first, he was in a spot of (unjust imo) bother last night. Biggest knock I can administer is that he hasn't made "big picture" observations yet, however the only one that has so far is Tim (is it Tim? Geeky fellow with the specs). He's a dark horse that one, very astute and moreover, knows when to keep it shut: A characteristic lacking in many candidates, the amount that have talked themselves out of the job....
But Lordi Sugar was seething about Jim last night. I think he's looking to nail him now. My tip to win is Melody because I'd like to give her one which is rather chivalrous of me I know.
@roachcoach: Regarding Jim, we are more or less on the same page. I would be surprised if he gets fired soon though, I can't help be wonder if Lord Sugar's comments weren't there just to through off predictions. And yeah, I also noted the butcher deal last week
Tom you mean? Yeah, Jedi Jim aside, he is probably my favourite amongst the remaining guys. He knows when to shut up, but does he know when to fight? There are probably as many (to my mind possibly more) who got fired from being too meek as there are who talked themselves out.
I am a little "meh" regarding the ladies side. Edna aside, none of them made me particularly cringe, nor particularly impressed. I'll probably root for Susan as the young underdog. She's made mistakes, she's stumbled, yet her personality reminds me of a number of people I've worked at uni, and in the context of working WITH as opposed to competing against, the people she reminds me off were nice to work with.
Edna is an odd one, creeps me right out she does. Although she's basically been an "extra" ever since that presentation she did. Editing, granted but odd regardless.
and yes, I meant Tom, that I don;t even know his name might be a bit of an issue for him
