[Closed] Room 101 thread

Zoella.

[s]People with regional accents[/s] 😉

Politicians. Basically, anyone who's been involved with politics. I know that'll sweep up the odd decent one amongst the bad but it's a price I'm willing to pay. All in it together, afterall 🙂

Racist murdering coppers.

Religion - it's basically just brainwashing stupid/desperate/poor people.

People who think road tax exists.

Or if I'm not allowed to decimate half of the population, just those who think that even if it did, it would give them some sort of right to drive the way they do.

popular lager brands, no, thinking about it, all lager.

Grrr...

Just for that, people who weigh a ton 😉

Religion, politics, ism's and TV 'talent' contests!

Hmmm...in time honoured tradition, I'm going to choose three:

1) Unnecessary new standards and the marketing departments behind them.
2) +1 for career politicians who've no idea who real people live.
3) UKIP

BTW - the Room 101 envisaged by Eric Arthur Blair was a room where an individual under torture would be faced with their strongest fear, dredged from the individual's own subconscious.

In which case I can only go with unnecessary new standards.

Religion - it's basically just brainwashing stupid/desperate/poor people.

Any newspaperman printing anything they know not to be true

Stupid people. They should put on treadmills to produce energy, then ground up and used to power generators when they die.

And in the spirit of the thread - food technologists. I'm not happy with people who replace cooking with chemistry

Morons who hang bags of dog shit on bushes, fences etc.

Stress

Ok....I know!!

anyone who [i]hasn't[/i] appeared on 'come dine with me'

Polo shirts - they are just nasty and no one looks good in one, you look like you are a member of staff in an unimportant warehouse

the daily Mail

Soundbites because you can't simplify complex problems into one sentence.

anyone who has appeared on 'come dine with me' so everyone will be in Room 101 😆

Are we being genuine or not.

In the spirit of 'the thing I'd like to see banished for ever' - intolerance. Be it racist, religious, sexist - all forms of intolerance. it'd be so much better if we could all just get along.

In the spirit of Orwell - breaking my fingers. Palms sweating at the thought, but it's an odd one, because I've broken several over the years playing in goal or as a wicketkeeper and it doesn't particularly bother me in that regard. But having them slowly and deliberately broken as a form of punishment or torture........

In the Spirit of Frank Skinner's Room 101. Fast growing spring grass. I cut the bastard stuff at the weekend and it's already too long again. I like grass, and i like a neatly trimmed garden, and i like the smell of cut grass. I just chuffin' hate having to cut it myself.

15mm axles

Anyone else forsee this degrading rapidly?

Polo shirts - they are just nasty and no one looks good in one

Outrageous!

I look rather fetching in my navy blue RL polo with cream chinos.

Yours, Ponceypants-Smythe

Katie Hopkins and anyone else with a similarly complete lack of worth to the human race as a whole.

I'm not happy with people who replace cooking with chemistry

People who think that cooking isn't chemistry.

Also,

Shellfish
and
those Crocs wellies-with-holes-in shoe things

Nationalists

"reality tv " and its associated "talents"

for Pook: Sean Keaveney

1. 'celebrity culture'

The idea of being famous, merely because one is famous.

2. Rubbish Telly

Mindless mind numbing dull formulaic chin dribbling moving wallpaper shit and the (see point 1) that it spawns.

Any telly program with the word "celebrity" in the title. Anyone who's ever appeared in any telly program with the word "celebrity" in the title, especially the ones who use that as an excuse to continue polluting the airwaves. broccoli. other people's farts. Hollywood remakes if films that really didn't need remade (Stallone in The Italian Job, even thinking about it raises the temperature of my piss to near boiling point.)

People who think that cooking isn't chemistry.

"Asked about reports the contamination was caused by used motor oil added to the feed pellets, Mr. Kiely said this had not been proved. He said motor oil was not on the "negative list" of products banned in animal feed, "because I am sure that never crossed anyone's mind" that it should be added."

1. Throw-away society. In particular, things which could be easily user repaired but are purposely designed to make it difficult. E.g. laptops with sealed in hard drives, cars where you have to replace a whole £200 wishbone instead of a £1 bushing or disassemble the front to replace a bulb, phones with sealed in batteries.

2. Black Beard Algae. Bloody annoying blight I'm fighting in my freshwater fish tank. Nothing eats it, and it serves no other purpose than to reduce enjoyment of my fish tanks.

Things you would like to get rid of, can be anything

People who misunderstand or who are actually oblivious to what 'Room 101' in fact is.

[i]People who misunderstand or who are actually oblivious to what 'Room 101' in fact is. [/i]

*left unsure if people how misunderstand what 'Room 101 in fact is' are really what Three_Fish would encounter in Room 101 or if he's misunderstood what Room 101 in fact is*

Now for something really controversial: Pet dogs.

For my second, something far less so: TV 'Talent' shows

Third: Bank adverts which pretend that banks are nice, fluffy entities

People who understand what Room 101 was in Nineteen Eighty-Four but aren't capable of understanding that its meaning has morphed over time so that common usage of the phrase is something different.

The next new wheel size / hub standard / thing you must have to make the trail come alive...

Signs, warnings & 'polite notices'. The country is infested with them.
Mobile phones.
People who park on pavements.
'The War On Drugs'
CCTV in public spaces.
The noughties. What a crap decade.

That moment on a perfect spring morning, when you’re sitting in traffic, heading for some crushingly mundane destination (IKEA, say), and you spot a car heading in the opposite direction with two glisteningly perfect MTBs on the roof-rack (maybe heading South to the Tweed Valley, or North to the Highlands), reminding you of the fact that your own (long-since technologically surpassed) bike is lying mouldering in the garage because you haven’t had time to so much as give it a skoosh of GT85 since you last rode it all those weeks ago (a ride which itself drove home the numbing realisation that your fitness and skillset have irretrievably disintegrated).

Maybe add a grumpy child in the back seat, and a sullen spouse, who’s just daring you to so much as utter a sigh.

That.

I nominate that.

I'm obviously able to understand, otherwise my first post, which actually revolves around making the distinction between the two things, couldn't have been made. Indeed, it depends entirely upon me actually understanding what you think I don't. Good effort, though; have a biscuit.

Jaffa Cake?

To be clear, I like those. Don't put them in room 101

Or do, then I can be tortured with them

frank skinner, for perpetuating the current, common misunderstanding of room 101 through the medium of television

have a biscuit

Jaffa Cake?

No, a biscuit :p

Didn't Clive Anderson host it originally?

Having to wait 2+ weeks for a doctors appointment.

People who don't understand the difference between biscuits and cakes.

People who don't understand the difference between biscuits and cakes.

I'm going to do an appeal to authority here. My grandad, inventor of the jaffa orangey bit and therefore Father Of The Jaffa Cake, when challenged on the subject quoth thus: "Of course it's a bloody biscuit. It's in the biscuit tin isn't it"

Like your work, arrpee.

I nominate TV adverts which feature popular songs sung in a slowed-down kooky style (there has to be a descriptive term for it as a genre, I just don't know what it is). Makes my teeth hurt,

Religion - it's basically just brainwashing stupid/desperate/poor people.

Atheists giving themselves way too much credit.

Tall & awkward people.

Not tall people especially, and not awkward people, but the combination of both (which to be fair, is a lot of tall people I know), needs to go. It's a waste of a good hand that's been dealt.

I nominate TV adverts which feature popular songs sung in a slowed-down kooky style (there has to be a descriptive term for it as a genre, I just don't know what it is). Makes my teeth hurt,

I know what you mean. Cliches in TV seem to last years. I've never had a TV of my own so seem to notice them when I watch it occasionally round a friend's or something. Another one is that Harry Potter inspired (?) twinkly fairy tale music that every single lifestyle "documentary" has.

Anyone who reads harry potter books, who isn't a teenage girl.

Keith lemon,
Public spending cuts.
STDs or are they called STIs now.

TV (films can stay)

popular songs sung in a slowed-down kooky style ([i][b]there has to be a descriptive term for it as a genre[/b][/i], I just don't know what it is

acoustic guitar for implying honesty and authenticity?
a slightly swung rhythm?
mildly faltering vocal delivery?

when you know what that descriptive term is, let me know, so I can avoid it too

selfies.

The current mtb industry for increasing the rate of so called standards exponentially over the last few years. Even worse when they are sh*t like ISIS or BB30.

The media obsession with calling virtually any picture of a person a "selfie" even if it was taken by someone else.

It's not too bad lately to be honest, so might not take up much room in Room 101.

Oh, and people who criticise the "misuse" of the term Room101, just as a way to let people know that they have read a book.

Anyone who says "it was a pagan festival first"

Piers Morgan
Andrew Neil
People who put empty milk bottles back in the fridge

UKIP and inconsiderate people in general. Being British used to mean making things a little bit better for everyone. This seems to be on the wane...

Should we ban cars because I saw a driver run a red light this morning?? Of course not, that would be stupid.

You sound stupid; have you been brainwashed?

Taking pictures of food
Adding salt to food you haven't uet tasted

(so-called) "Real people" - they only exist in the imagination and the mirror

Into room 101 I'd put "motorists", cars with big engines, super bikes, caravans, super campervans, holiday makers who're shit at driving, small men in sports cars (probably comes under "motorist"), unnecessary 4x4s.

I realise these are pretty predictable ones for someone who rides a bike.

After today, really ****ing idiotic people that don't realise when they've gone too far. Then, upon diplomatically trying to bring up the subject of their insensitivity, get fake fits of laughter at the thought that they're an offensive twunt.

Them. They should be locked in a room.

..and window salesmen. You should have window fitters and window fabricators, that's it.

Hard-working families. They're taking up far too much of our politicians' time.

TLA`s .......they grip my shitt !

Personalised number plates
People with great big camper vans who go on holiday towing a little car behind them.
People who chuck their litter out of the car window.

Room 101

Another advert one... moneysupermarket with the bloke twerking in denim shorts.... horrible. Daughter loves it. (4). Keeps signing the song and points to the mans twerking arse and says "thats the same size as your bum dad "
Ill never use the website again.

I'd like to second UKIP and Polo shirts...especially Ralph Lauren ones...sorry BN.
I would like to add Key Performance Indicators.

Eyelashes for car headlights.
I mean, really?

People standing in the doorway of supermarkets, with their trolleys, having a bloody natter

Wheeled suitcases. Not the proper, big suitcases with two wheels on one corner which can be quite useful 'cos they're heavy when full. You can't take more than 20kg on a plane anyway nowadays, so the stupid little suitcases these twunts keep dragging around airports, grinding cheap plastic castors on noisy hard floors because they're too frickin idle to pick the bloody things up and carry them. Are we degenerating into a race of people who can't carry a sub-20kg load more than a couple of paces without having to unslide the black slidy handle things and drag our shorts, knickers, suntan lotion and socks behind us like it was too difficult to pick up by the perfectly serviceable handle FFS? I mean seriously? They've even got wheels on their bleeding cabin baggage now, the cretinous, stupid, idle, weak farkwits.

Oh, and Chicken Tonight.

Scapegoat for PM.

(please add 'laptop and a couple of writing tools' to that list)

Scapegoat:

Wheeled suitcases

:applause:
the capacity of trolleyed carry-on luggage is so reduced that all they can fit in it is their charger and a half-eaten pencil.

Science - for reducing all the interesting stuff to boring little particles and waves that you can't even see.
