Title: Room 101
Post by: Elleigh on 20 June, 2008, 01:41:01 pm
What would you put in room 101?

For me it would be:

1. Bind weed - it would take over my garden if I let it
2. Having to work on a sunny day

I'd put dull people in Room 101.

There's a guy at work who is so unbelievably boring, I often feel the need to cry.

No matter how early I get in - he's already there. No matter how late I stay - he's still working away. I don't think he's had a day off sick (ie a hangover!) in the last 5 years.

He has two holidays a year - usually to the most uninspiring tourist traps you can imagine. His girlfriend is also impossibly tedious.

So yeah, I'd force vodka and pills down the throats of boring people in Room 101!

my hatred developed over a couple of summers looking after a dozen goats on my cousins farm in Norfolk.  They're possibly the most manevolent, evil, smelly, stubborn and bloody-minded creature on the earth - see Baphomet - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baphomet).

their only saving grace is the cheese, the meat is absolutely minging and only slightly palatable in a very strong curry.   The milk, on cornflakes or in tea is absolutely foul.

and as for lavender...

This seems to be something I talk (i.e. moan!) about quite often.
The adverts are not allowed to be any louder than the TV programs that they interrupt.  However, many of the adverts have the dynamic range of their soundtrack compressed, i.e. the volume of all the sounds in the advert are the same as the loudest sound in the preceding TV program.  Our auditory system perceives this as being louder than the TV program, even though the peak of the volume isn't louder.

I employ the mute button, or skip the adverts after recording a program on the digital PVR thingy.  :thumbsup:

Goat's cheese. All of it. Tastes wrong. Like a tramp fell asleep on your tongue. And then wet himself.

Plus, I inadvertently ate some during a picnic in Butte Chaumont, and in my exaggerated bout of choking, managed to roll down a steep hill and bang my head.

To liven up big brother they could assemble the contestants in the usual way but just not bother to broadcast it. Then after a while have the evictions with fake crowd noise so that the contestant comes out to a completely empty street somewhere in the arse end of nowhere with their suitcase on wheels and no money fo a cab. That part might be worth broadcasting.

If the contestants were to include any or all of Gary Dobson, Neil Acourt, Jamie Acourt, Luke Knight, and David Norris, then proceed as above but defer their evictions for a couple of decades.

Bottled water, and the people who clutch a bottle wherever they go.

Believe me, the exertions involved in creating a Powerpoint presentation rarely require constant rehydration. I know your dynamic, outgoing persona demands that you look ready and prepared to undertake a marathon at any moment, but really, the closest you'll get is another Snickers bar.

The bottled water may, however, be useful given an eternity in Room 101.

Chiropractic certainly seems to be working for me (with a practitioner suggested by someone not very far away in this thread). Although I did go to a talk at the practice on what chiropractic is, with the force in the universe and so on. I may be a Star Wars geek, but I think I'll focus on my back rather than the 'force'.

Right then folks, I'm bored and feeling mischievous ...

Take out of Room 101 ...

Clarkson - I think he is funny and he makes my wife felling laugh.  I like hearing my wife laugh.

Goats - in a previous life I used to go with my kids (humans not baby goats) to one of those farms where you could play with the animals.  They had two goats called Ant and Dec.  They were very funny and my kids used to laugh a lot.  It was a sound I liked.

Ant and Dec - the humans not the goats.  What's not to like?

Put in Room 101 ...

The absolutely incompetent IT and organisation of this year's Fringe booking system.

I used my Friends of the Fringe advanced booking privileges on 7th June and booked all the tickets I want for this year. The computer system was down but she did the booking manually. The payment hasn't come off my credit card and the tickets were supposed to be sent out first class on Wednesday (that being the delayed date after all the cockups) but nothing has arrived.

I have a bad feeling about this.

Ikea

Ikea sell well designed and useful things. It enables all of us to access simple products, and high design, at stupidly cheap prices. In doing so it has taught us to accept a culture of the new, when careful re-use would be cheaper and better.

Now, most households demand the flashy new kitchen, the new furniture.

Ikea is a disposable hell, that uses comfy psuedo eco arguments to justify an extreme and wasteful sort of greed.

My arm.

Last time I gave blood it all went fine and I went to get my juice and biscuits and my arm started to bleed again, all over me, the floor and the biscuits. Today I went, all went fine, I was about to sit down with the juice and biscuits and then my arm started to bleed again, all over my sleeve, my jeans, the floor, the emergency couch but luckily not the biscuits this time.
