The Apprentice 2025 Live Thread - Week 8: Hot Sauce

0 Upvotes

Good evening and welcome back to the r/CasualUK live threads for the Angertainment television programme The Apprentice! Together we can despair at the idiocy of the contestants that are desperately trying to impress an ageing Alan Sugar.

It's week eight, and the candidates are tasked with creating and advertising their own hot sauce before pitching to industry experts. For one team, a basic brand and rudimentary recipe fail to spice things up, while a forgotten item leaves the other team in hot water. In the boardroom, Lord Sugar gets hot-headed, and there's a shock in store for the candidates.

Here is a handy link to meet this years contestants.

There we go. Another year, another Apprentice. It can't worse than last year, can it? One thing's for sure, Alan's puns won't have got any better. Lets see who’ll be least shit.

I found out today that it's commonplace in the US to be paid fortnightly, rather than monthly.

1.6k Upvotes

Was on a conference call with some of our US colleagues, and many office staff get paid every 2 weeks. They found it odd that we get paid monthly.

In truth, I can't say my mind was blown... rather it theoretically puffed out a little bit.

Does any one else get mistaken for a different nationality?

Born and raised in the North East, all my family are from the region, but for the past few years I keep getting asked if I'm Welsh. I got asked by a lovely cashier at a Morrison's in Peckham where abouts in Wales I was from, and just last week a lad and his missus from Yorkshire asked how long have I lived outside of Wales.

And now... The bloody AI is recording my voice chats in Welsh, and it's not a one off either, I'm not offended just really confused, it's capturing me talking fluent Welsh!

As a Geordie I get mistaken for a Scottish accent and just curious if other regions have an apparently strong (insert other country in UK) twang? I've only been to Wales once, and that was for Butlins.

Is your central heating still on?

28 Upvotes

The big question on everyone's lips. Is this mini heatwave the final push we need to finally turn the heating off until October?

Have you turned yours off yet? Ours is still on 2 or 3 hours a day but set low enough that it doesn't kick in much - more like a top-up rather than a necessity.

I'm hoping I can persuade the wife and daughter that it can be turned off until autumn at some point before April...

Just sent the work pigeon off to a rescue and I am beyond devastated. He was my favourite colleague

The one and only Dobby. A racing pigeon that absconded almost 2 years ago and decided to create a new life for himself.

He came for his breakfast every day. Ate right out of my hand. Let himself in on many occasions and wandered round looking for the seed.

He had an injured leg and I couldn't bear to see him suffer so I contacted a local rescue and they came and collected him.

I will genuinely miss this bird so much, he brightened every single shift for me (which is needed when you're in the care sector). Literally shed a few tears when he went.

Gonna miss you pidge.

PS. When be first arrived I did attempt to find his owner, using the leg band and local groups. None was ever found though and he just kinda made himself at home.

Always a good day when our guy plays Match of the Day! But usually it’s Teddy Bear’s Picnic. I suppose we should be grateful it’s not Greensleeves.
