If you could put something into Room 101, what would it be?

My list starts with the staircases in underground car parks. Yuk!

The use of 'Room 101' in this context!

'Room 101' was a concept in George Orwell's 1984 where 'subversives' would be taken by the Thought Police and exposed to their biggest fear - the case of hero Winston Smith, it was rats.

It has nothing at all to do with things you want to get rid of - so although the TV concept is great - and so is listing on here (very theraputic!) it is simply the wrong use of the term.

Has anyone added 'pedants' to their list?

Hope not!

I thought of another one...

People who don't share the keys to the wine cellar. Little Hitlers them...

[naomi24]

Arrrgh! She's followed me from R&S!!

I've thought of yet another one .... drunken stalkers! Hic!

[China Doll]

There is no chance of drunkeness unless I get the damn key woman.... Where's mibs, I miss mibs. He'd distract you so I could get hold of it!

[naomi24]

Ha! ........ another contender .......... frustration. :o)

Glottal stop misusers:
Imagine a radio news announcer, usually a young woman, with an anxious, pained tone of voice ignoring the glottal stop and saying something like "brutal title battle settled in hospital"

Crappy TV channel prefixes like T4 or Adult Swim
