D Tuesday, November 3, 2009 METRO 11 In the boardroom, Breffny likened managing Ruth and Aoiffe to brokering world peace. Stephen was scathing about Sam, describing the presentation as amateurish and cringe worthy.And Bill Cullen piled in, berating Platinum for their pitch and lack of innovation. But when Sam tried to defend her idea, Bill said: Your world is children, this is the corporate world of business, and she was given her marching orders. Mairead Fleming, of Brightwater Re- cruitment and contributor toYoure Fired, agreed with Bill, saying Sam tried to make everyone adapt to her way of think- ing rather than seeing how best to adapt her own talents to the corporate market.

Breffny and Sam got their chance to step up to the plate in this weeks task, which was to create a brand new choco- late bar for Cadbury. However, neither project manager proved popular and tension was high. Breffny was given leadership of the CuChulainn team of Geraldine, Aoiffe and Ruth, while Sam got Steve, Stephen and Lucinda on her Platinum team. Breffny had a good start, agreeing a tri- colour themed product with his team. But, while working well with Geraldine, his decisive nature soon got on the nerves of Ruth and Aoiffe after he dismissed their concerns about the name for their product, Blasta. Over in camp Platinum, the vibe wasnt much better, with teacher Sam managing to get the pitch totally wrong they pitched their idea to Cadbury dressed bi- zarrely as panto-like creatures.

EUROPES first artificial surf reef has been criticised for not working and being built in the wrong place. Sandbags fixed to the seabed 225m off the English coast of Dorset are designed to provide grade five waves. But critics say the technology does not work and the seaside town of Boscombe would have been better off with the projects 3.3million instead.
