He manged to kick into touch the lie on the CV and clearly McQueen did not see that onwe coming when the interviewer pulled out a fax from the university. I suppose having exposed the lie the candidate is then very under the cosh so would therefore make a good candidate. I&#39;ve screamed at the TV, jumped up and down at some of the corporate hyperbabble being trotted out each week and FOCUS GROUPS !!!!!!!!!!!&nbsp; Happy to say I helped introduce them in the early 1970&#39;s at Foote Cone and Belding / Welbeck Public Relations and delighted that the misery of them is still being inflicted on sucessive generations. The joke being that the whole idea of a focus group is deeply flawed as nwe exposed at the time, but it does enable the agency to put one over the client&nbsp;as any recommedation can be laid at the door of the focus group and thererfore must be right!&nbsp; </p> <p>Back to Sir Al&#39;s Apprentice, how about a squad of candidates &nbsp;taken from the 50/60&#39;s age group! Just imagine a group of oldies being lectured by the fuzzy one and the barbed retorts flying back over the board room table. Ageing sexual chemistry in the house, refined dinner parties instead of a bottle of chardonnay and a delivery pizza, To top it all the Sir Al watchdogs could be in this instance from the 20-30&#39;s age group. A complete reversal! &nbsp;&nbsp;Simply magic and remeber I thought of the idea Mark Burnett!&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
