Apprentice Week 2 Review
4/5

Week two review by Ian Walsh

We get more of an insight into the candidates this week, which is why I am always sad for the person who is fired on week one. They are generally not remembered. For those of you who cannot remember who was fired already it was David Neary.

Launching a video game should be easy, or so I thought, especially in this world of modern technology & games we should know everything there is to know. If in doubt though Fight Club must never be used as the 6 lads proved last night, they suffered a knockout punch of their own by using Adidas branding when launching an EA Game. I’m sure Adidas was only delighted of course but the man from EA wasn’t best pleased.

The lads just cocked it up again, there were just too many mistakes, from Stuart being controlling, bitching, & Derek with his Adidas signs which doomed him into getting fired. Mark (the team leader last week), was yet again a high performer even though he was only in the boardroom by default, for taking Ronan in last week.

Mark is certainly the candidate I would tip to win because he is hard working and focused so far. He’s just been let down by the others.

It’s tough when up against feisty girls who never give up as they made it 2 wins out of 2 before the shuffle up next week which well really make or break the candidates.

Festival of World Cultures - The Best on Pix.ie

I meant to post about this a week ago – better late than never though.

Pix.ie partnered with the Festival of World Cultures in Dun Laoghaire towards the end of August and set up a special group on the site for all the photographs taken over the course of the festival.

This blog post on the site shows a sample of the many wonderful photographs. The colours literally burst off the screen and are a sight for sore eyes. Even though I wasn’t at the event, I can almost hear the drum beats and feel the rhythm of the music.

The winning photograph of all those taken is this one:

A wonderfully captured image by Barry Delaney, with many more superb photographs on his blog too.
