Room 101 - What would you put in it?

[Neil]

We've got a Room 101 party round our house over the weekend, where everyone has to suggest something they want to put in.

What would you suggest?

Room 101 is a BBC comedy television series based on the radio series of the same name, in which celebrities are invited to discuss their pet hates and persuade the host to consign them to a fate worse than death in Room 101, named after the torture room in the novel Nineteen Eighty-Four,

Hmmm ... let's see ... people who drive around on the roads without insurance or licenses, those Go Compare adverts, those Joop! adverts on FX when I'm trying to watch The Walking Dead, Twitter, television news ... just some things off the top of my head.

So it's kind of like a games night you guys are having then, like your own version of the TV show? Cool idea. :)

those Joop! adverts on FXThis being the one with the attractive brunette running around in skimpy underwear? Yeh, I can imagine how that could pi$$ any straight guy off :)

all news media, twitter, facebook, cell phones, people who buy lottery tickets, the sound of phones ringing (that drives me straight up the wall), people who watch survivor, apollo conspiracy "theorists", most star trek fans, people who think wrestling is real, all forms of govt. that use "representation", people who think investment in public transportation is "socialism", every single european who doesn't live in the UK, Ireland, Norway, Denmark, and Sweden and in general, who blither on about how backwards and uncultured americans are while killing and beating each other over soccer games.

am i playing this game right?

eg: One of mine is womens hair down the plug hole. No only are they oblivious to it, but they don't even wonder how it miraculously disappears every couple of months. ie: Us poor blokes having to stick our fingers down a manky plug hole and clean it all out :)

Fake democracy.

Having to work for a living in an economy that doesn't have the wherewitall to create jobs on a sustained basis.

People who drive at low speed on the open road making everyone else late for work. Then when you overtake them they're sat right up to the steering wheel clinging on to it for grim death, as if driving a car is the most frightening thing in the world. They're up against the wall come the revolution :p

Sounds like a nifty idea - I've had a few games nights with friends in the past, so I might bring this up as an idea.

As for the Joop adverts, while yes the girl in the ad is alright to look at, she's too scrawny for my tastes (and in real life she could very well be an idiot, or utterly vapid, or spends her entire life catering to her body) ... a winning personality is half-the-attraction at least for me ... but the main reason those Joop! ads piss me off is that they completely undercut the tension/vibe of TWD. You're into the scene and then you have to cut to an advert break, but before you do you've got to have that obnoxious music and those vapid twats touching each other on a bed to clash so much with the content of the show.

I can't stand people who drive everywhere at 40mph. I do the speed limit personally. If it's a 60, I'm at 60 (or as close to it as the winding country roads and weather conditions allow), if it's a 30 (and a school zone especially) then I'm damn well at 30 ... but there are some people who drive in a 60 zone at 40 and then they enter a 30mph school zone and keep driving at 40-bloody-mph!!! ... then they enter the next 60 zone and continue at 40, so when I enter the 60 zone a little bit later I catch up to them quickly and it all starts again ... and of course there's no good places to overtake on these country roads, so you're stuck, and you'll just get stuck behind a tractor or a truck sooner or later anyway so I just boost the tunes and grumble.
