Crunch time on The Apprentice | Groves Media
https://grovesmedia.wordpress.com/2012/05/31/crunch-time-on-the-apprentice
Long words and short legs. Crunch time on The Apprentice. 8220;If you ever need a salesman, you know where to find me.”. And with those words, Adam waved goodbye to Lord Sugar, Karren, Nick, Nick Nice But Dim and Jade, the receptionist, the taxi driver and anyone else he met along the way. That is what Adam does and who Adam is – he’s a salesman and he tries exceptionally hard to get on with everyone. If you ever doubted how out of his depth Adam was, last night’s pitch to a room of industry expert...

Disability is More Than Wheels | RachelCreative
https://rachelcreative.wordpress.com/2008/05/01/disability-is-more-than-wheels
Disability is More Than Wheels. Disability is More Than Wheels. May 1, 2008. Disability is more than wheels. There is no convieniant way for your business or organisation to define disability. That’s like trying to define all of humanity into your neat tick boxes. When I use a wheelchair you can. A disability and you prickle into action with your policy fuelled by correctness and duty. When I need you most is every other day when I am (to you) invisibly disabled. In all their shapes and sizes, with all t...

Things out of place | Groves Media
https://grovesmedia.wordpress.com/2012/05/28/things-out-of-place
Long words and short legs. Things out of place. The excellent Lichfield Lore blog included a post by Kate this week that really got me thinking and looking. Lost in the Woods. Details the unusual objects she has found during her regular explorations of Lichfield and the surrounding area – including part of a set of handcuffs. This is the kind of thing that always intrigues me. Discovering items out of their usual place always throws up so many unanswered questions:. How did it get there? Who put it there?

It might be time… | Groves Media
https://grovesmedia.wordpress.com/2014/05/29/it-might-be-time
Long words and short legs. It might be time…. So it might be time to start writing for fun again. That sounds a bit odd, especially as my role involves editing six magazines and as many websites. But that has been part of the problem. Spending so much time and expending so many of the little grey cells on my day job has meant I haven’t always felt the need, the compulsion, the inspiration or indeed the desperation to write any more in my free time. I feel the need to tap, tap, tap, tap, type, type again.

So, yeah, that’s it then…all over for The Apprentice | Groves Media
https://grovesmedia.wordpress.com/2012/06/04/so-yeah-thats-it-then-all-over-for-the-apprentice
Long words and short legs. So, yeah, that’s it then…all over for The Apprentice. I’m underwhelmed in a way that I haven’t been since…well, the last series finale of The Apprentice. In keeping with the entire series, nothing much happened in the last episode other than confirmation of a known-knowns as regards Lord Sugar and the programme he fronts. And we were left wondering whether the last few weeks had actually been worth the effort. Firstly, it pays to be loud, obnoxious and ignorant. So, it was good...

Self-made millionaire scrapper (sic) chooses safe option over risk-taker…again | Groves Media
https://grovesmedia.wordpress.com/2011/12/13/self-made-millionaire-scrapper-sic-chooses-safe-option-over-risk-taker-again
Long words and short legs. Self-made millionaire scrapper (sic) chooses safe option over risk-taker…again. So Lord Sugar has crowned his Young Apprentice. And opted for the highly polished, articulate, safe option rather than the mouthy, opinionated risk-taker – no change there then. The teenage version closely followed the established format for Grown-Up Apprentice. A major failing that was evident throughout the series. The whole thing felt a wasted opportunity. Posted by Paul Groves. So, yeah, that...

I see dumb people | Groves Media
https://grovesmedia.wordpress.com/2012/03/30/i-see-dumb-people
Long words and short legs. I see dumb people. Whatever happened to common sense? When did it go out of fashion? I’m sure it existed at some point over the last 40-odd years, with the odd hic-cup along the way. We have come to accept crass stupidity and blind ignorance from our political leaders. But I never thought we’d follow their lead quite so willingly. The panic buying caused by a non-existent strike. Some claim the panic buying is simply human nature. At play. Is it? The sight of senior political l...
