Women are like tea bags – you don’t know how strong they are until you put them in hot water

I hate this person. I haven't watched any clips, I have no idea who they are, but FFS, this is a dreadful saying, and you're appropriating it to try and seem smart? SHUT UP.

I’m usually the smartest person in any room and I’ll make sure people know that

DO THESE PEOPLE NEVER LEARN?

I have Ross Fretten in the work sweepstake although I’m not sure if it’s for the first out or the winner.

One of the women first in with the massive sexism - both in terms of who has good jobs at Canary Wharf (men) and how you sell to said men (have tits). Totally called on it by Karren.

How shit do you have to be to not make any money at all selling burgers in London?

Seven people left and I still don't know their names.
