Room 101

37 replies · 6,224 views · Started 09 January 2003

In the UK, there's a TV show called 'Room 101'* wherein a celebrity brings all the things that he/she hates with a view to having them thrown into Room 101 to be destroyed, never to return.

What would you throw into Room 101?

* Room 101 is taken from George Orwell's book, 1984. In this book, Room 101 was not used for throwing in the things you hate but instead, a place where people who dared to think differently to The Party (eg, Linux and BeOS users) were 'persuaded' to get back in line (install WindowsXP).

Into Room101 I would throw:

George Bush for being a warmongering homo (no offence intended to gay people).

The tory and labour parties for being goits.

Micro$oft for getting off scott free for breaking the law.

Anyone caught making or listening to garage music.

Nokia for not releasing a successor to the 9210i yet.

That's it 😛 Now I'm throwing you in 😛
Music=Religion always respect somebodies religion 😊 (I have to respect r&b 2 don't I 😡 :sad: )

Even Metallica started in a garage :]

😉😊

George W'ya Bush & Tony Blair (& Co) - For reasons stated above

Sony Ericsson - For releasing the P800 months and months after they said they would.

The whole UK public transport system - Because it's quicker to walk than wait 4 hours for a train that will never come.

Boy/Girl Bands (Manufactured) - Self-explanatory

American Football, Baseball, Indy Car, Nascar (All major American sports except Ice Hockey and Basketball) - Because it's the only thing on at 3AM except films in a different language and teletext on BBC2

Shouldn't that read "rugby for pansy little girls who are scared of getting hurt playing a contact sport."

LOL!!! 😃 😃 😃 😃

The evil people :evil:

GWB (George Washington Eleven :fadein: )

My Mother in Law

Two things I'd like to throw into Room 101 are;

[list]
Web sites that say 'best viewed in 800x600' or 'optimized for 16-bit 1024x768'. I'll view your sodding website at any resolution I want!

and

Webmasters who refer to themselves as 'we' and 'us' (ie, 'we have redesigned our website to make it look better' which should read as 'I have redesigned my website to make it look better'😉 - I've been guilty of this, but no longer! I repent! *
[/list:u]

* Of course, AAS doesn't need to repent because it is a community work 😊

I have more bosses than you can shake a stick at (well, three actually) and some days, I'd gladly throw them in.

Well regular cigs, he smokes merit (does it ring a bell fox hound? :P) then he got crazy and i think he's smoking marlboro the red one. I don't know what to do, i don't hang out with chimmenies, You know, second hand smoking and stuff. And he has no reason to smoke it's pointless for a guy his age (no stress no pressure no nothing he has to worry about) , and he went to the hospital several times, he has a weak heart, but i doubt his parents know about him. But his dad smokes (bad example that's what made him start smoking a year ago)

I'm really telling his mom!! :P
