Room 101 - your choices
28 Answers
My choices for Room 101 would be (in no particular order):-
Clive Anderson - because he talks just to prevent other people getting a word in, which is why he has ruined every programme he has presented or guested in, Whose Line Is It Anyway? and QI to name but 2;
cheese - for ruining my digestive process when I was 9 and it never recovering properly;
schoolboy rugby - responsible for the neck problems I have suffered with the rest of my life;
ITV sports department - for their uncanny ability to ruin every sport they feature, whether it be the number of advert breaks they have to adhere to or for the presenters or so-called experts they use. I cannot think of a single sport shown on ITV where the BBC haven't done it better.
Clive Anderson again - because he annoys me SO much.

Middle-lane drivers on Motorways - ignorant, lazy, dangerous and stupid.
Reality tv shows - perpetuating the plague of mediocrity which blights our lives.
James Blunt - more mediocrity. (Add Coldplay to the list)
Courgettes. - the most vomit-inducing food I've ever had the misfortune to be forced down my throat
People who pretend to know everything, and have opinions on everything - but are actually just full of s41t.

The use of the term 'Room 101' for this TV show.
The concept of Room 101 in Orwell's 1984 is the room where any individual must confrint their worst nightmare.
That is a world away from putting 'something' into a ficitious 'room' as they do on the somewhat unfunny TV shof of the same name.
Someone should tell Paul Merton either to laugh because he is amused, or keep a straight face, not make that dreadful braying noise that is the hallmark of individuals who have no sense of humour what ever, and are never sure if something is funny, so they bray at odd intervals to try and prove that they understand the joke - even when their isn't one.

andy, I watched the play 1984. It was magnificant although very violent. It made interesting comments about society and 'Big Brother' watching you.
A real Room 101 would be full of stuff that are your worst nightmares not stuff that kinda annoys you. So I guess I could stick Paul Merton in there then - ahhhh! :0)

Exactly MiniN
'Room 101' is the place The Thought Police take you to confront your worst nightmare - and it will be individually tailored, and by definition can only be one thing - rats for Winston Smith, Hugh Grant films on a loop for me (lol!).
That is nowhere near the concept of the TV show bearing its name.
BTW, I adore PM on 'Have I Got News For You '- itr's just here than he annoys me. Sad, because he is obviously a seriously intelligent and witty guy, so why the needless sychophancy to mediocre TV stars?

I agree with most of Iamblue's list (especially Ben Fogle). I'd also add:
Wasps
Westlife
Fiona Phillips
Golf
ITV (virtually all of it)
Westlife
Bagpipes
The use of the term R&B to describe strangely soulless, tuneless production line pap that has very little rhythm and even less blues.
Westlife
Ramblers
Anyone who says or writes "would of" instead of "would have".
People who presume to take offence on behalf of others who are perfectly capable of deciding for themselves whether or not they've been offended
...and Westlife.
