We all love a bit of Lord Sugar on Twitter, don't we? The way he randomly tweets international football score updates...
Just as I said 0-0 England score 0-1
...it's a public service of a sort.
Scots get one back 1-2
The way him and Piers Morgan and Donald Trump have #qualitybants together!
.@realDonaldTrump The UK Apprentice is in NYC tonight did you ever get this prime spot in Time square http://t.co/265yYfL5OH @piersmorgan
But one thing Lord Sugar doesn't like is people repeating his catchphrase to him.
It never fails to amaze me people think they are so novel telling me You're fired. You know the type looking like a tw.. lead balloon jokes.
No, that goes down very badly indeed.
“@YasminDolman: @Lord_Sugar you're fired”.......you're ugly
He generally takes the time to engage with people who do this.
“@glivvy: @Lord_Sugar you're fired”.......hah hah you are so funny . Don't be surprised if your wife/ girlfriend / boyfriend dumps you soon
That's told them.
“@ImChrisMorris: @Lord_Sugar you're still fired!”......you're still a moron
But last night he had an important announcement on this issue.
A bit of a laugh last night with people saying you're fired. now every idiot saying it. So take note I AM BLOCKING all people now saying it
A few people were in for a nasty surprise!
By the way I am not telling people they are blocked
This tweet is better if you read it in the voice of Heath Ledger in The Dark Knight.
Can't believe amount of cretins wanting to be blocked.They think I am going to reply to them. But I just block them with no acknowledgment
People were really keen to respect his wishes.
So apparently "Lord Sugar" really doesn't like it if you tweet "You're fired" at him. Please respect this. https://t.co/dGZklOpQNl
But sadly in the last day there have now been several thousand tweets to Lord Sugar with his catchphrase.
It must be taking him a long time to block everyone.
@Lord_Sugar I am sorry to hear that you're fired. What will you do now that you're fired? Is there any way to change the fact that you're f
A harsh assessment would be that Lord Sugar has hit upon a genius strategy to make all of Twitter tweet "you're fired" at him.
Sigh.
Anyway, can you believe this is five years old?
