Apprentice's De Lacy-Brown: Securing a pupillage was harder than confronting Sir Alan

'De Lacy' - Brown interets me, although I 'm not sure it's a good or bad thing His pomposity is almost cringeworthy and made for a combination of strange and shocking viewing, although I kind of like the man. His art is special, akin to Dali (as he indeed boasted on 'The Apprentice') and it is clear he does have intelligence. The way he utilises it, however, is annoying - he's not even an oxbridge graduate for instance and the way he claimed he was a barrister before he'd even secured a pupillage was frustrating. Furthermore, the show displayed negative qualities - I wouldn't want to be associated/defended by him as he's too smug and not as savvy as he makes out i.e. the lobster(s). An interesting character - one I would deem too 'stereotypical to stereotype'. I mean a self-confessed aristocrat - crown offices good luck. A clever man but certainly not so in the social/everyday sense.
