It turns out we couldn't do better after all, reunited couple admits

A COUPLE who claimed they had split for a whole host of reasons have got back together after discovering that they could not do better than each other after all. 

Nathan Muir and Emma Bradford told friends their relationship was over due to basic incompatibilities and a breakdown of trust, but on reuniting have admitted they were both hoping to trade up.

Bradford said: “Yeah, it had just got a bit stale, you know? Plus I had one definite improvement ready to go and quite a few others on the back burner.

“However the first one turned out to be an undischarged bankrupt living in his auntie’s garage, another possible made me listen to his rap mixtape, and the third, well let’s say he gave me a new baseline for ‘shit in bed’.

“Tinder was a dickheads’ parade, nightclubs are worse, and while one-night stands sound deliciously thrilling from inside coupledom in reality there’s a reason why you fuck off at 6am.

“Six months of that and cosy old Nathan, vintage Subbuteo collection and chronic flatulence and all, doesn’t seem so bad.”

Muir said: “None of the other women measured up to Emma. But there definitely were other women. Loads and loads and loads of them.”

Could you be one of the tossers on The Apprentice?

YOU may think you’ve got the business acumen to take part in The Apprentice, but you’ll need to be a sizeable twat as well. See if you’ve got what it takes.

Shit business ideas

You must genuinely believe your coffee table that doubles as a cat litter tray has no flaws whatsoever. Your idea to make a beetroot-flavoured fizzy drink, meanwhile, is as important to the world as finding a way to end poverty.

Total willingness to be humiliated

You must be prepared to be publically humiliated week after week by an ageing knobhead drunk on the power of being on reality TV and running a 1980s computer company. And smile obsequiously while he’s doing it.

A strange personality

Imagine business bore Duncan Bannatyne mating with arch-wanker Piers Morgan and somehow producing a child. Now imagine it 35 years later, all grown up and looking like some sort of budget Bond villain in an M&S suit. That is you.

Zero self-awareness

You must be happy to say “I’m what success looks like!” and not realise millions of viewers are gleefully shouting “WANKER!”. Other phrases in your lexicon should include things like “I am the brand” and “There’s no bullshit in ‘team’”.

Total lack of shame

During challenges you should see no problem in offering a small trader £5 for an antique mirror worth £175 and being told to fuck off. This may explain why you run a failing ‘marketing & PR’ firm above a chip shop in Wolverhampton.

A large streak of thinly veiled evil

Much of the entertainment value of The Apprentice comes from watching contestants try to shaft each other so blatantly even Sir Alan doesn’t want them anywhere near his video phone business.
