Edinburgh, you're fired!

Last week the crashing ineptitude of Kevin prompted us to downgrade HBOS stock to Sell. This week the sainted Margaret gives the devastating pronouncement on Scotland's ancient seat of learning "Edinburgh isn't what it was".

This in response to alumni Michael acting like a complete cock in his pursuit of a kosher chicken; as the teams crashed through a Marrakech souk trying to haggle their way to victory.

Michael, along with Raef, Lee and Alex continue to give men a bad name; by being utter mouth drooling morons. The blessed Margaret must absolutely despair at the shiny suited poltroons before her. They truly have the brains of a Next shop window, and the depth of a self help book dust jacket. "I'm arrogant" proclaims Michael "I don't care who thinks so!" - exhibiting a clinical level of self delusion.

The women at least show a degree of gumption. Although in Jenny, Jennifer, Helene and Claire's case this means falling on the weakest of the herd like a pack of rapacious harpies.

A pack thinned this week, as Surallen offers the grateful public a special promotion to enliven the show - SODOF: sack one, dismiss one free. Claiming the scalps of Jenny AND Jennifer. Result!
