Basically what items would you want to put into this room in which you hate very much and you would want to ban the item or person for eternity. :) its only a bit of fun. lets have a heated discussion and provoke emotions. :)

Chris (calmgrove) The current UK Education Secretary for his dismemberment of the British state education system and the current UK Health Secretary for this betrayal of the National Health Service. (Is that controversial enough Bridgette?!)


message 3: by ~Geektastic~ (new)

 ~Geektastic~ (atroskity) My boss. Not very controversial for anyone here, but I'd love to stick him in a closet and never have to hear his voice (or smell his terrible cheap cologne) again.

Yeah, but they're probably out of my price range as a lowly secretary.

Oh, I'm sure you can owe them the money. With interest. With lots of interest.

Angela (bookangel2) | 1454 comments I think it would have to be most of the government - so many people who like to think they know what they're doing, but are just making a mess of everything.

Most Education Ministers who have tried to de-skill the teaching profession and caused dreadful stress to many dedicated, intelligent, highly competent people.

I think it would be fair to say that the Government have had a "bad" few weeks, but if they're hoping it's just a blip and will all blow over, they've another think coming. Stick-and-no-carrot over the economy, the stink of grace-and-favours, dismissal of risk assessments in the case of the reformed NHS in England... How many times can they shoot themselves in the foot while hoping the public will forgive and forget?

I don't think we need a Room 101, we need a space the size of an industrial unit (and there are enough empty ones around at the moment).

Adam (adam_yamey) | 63 comments The squeaky sound when you rub a balloon. It causes me to have goose-pimples (goose-bumps) whenever I think about it.

Maggie | 20 comments Eastenders (the soap!)

Adam (adam_yamey) | 63 comments Liquid soap, rather than bars of soap.

Karen (karenofthebookworm) my colleague whose tuneless whistling is going to drive me insane, and if not that then her moaning about having to do some work.

'reality' tv shows

so called celebs - if I have to be told who you are then you are not a celebrity.

anyone who calls sports stars, rock stars etc hero

people who litter, don't say please or thank you, block shop door ways, stand in the middle of the street, ditter, don't lift their feet

anyone who misuses the word literally

as for politicians I've been around the block often enough to know that there is no difference between them, no matter which party they are part of.

Chris Stanley (christinelstanley) | 922 comments As the mother of 2 daughters, I would LOVE to put FACEBOOK in room 101.
Mood swings, squabbles and general silliness are posted and are instantly available for all to see. No thinking time, no cooling off, then friends comment/argue and suddenly you have a mountain out of a molehill, leading to cyber bullying! All over something that would never have been said face to face. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

message 24: by Chris (new)

Chris (calmgrove) Global warming, along with climate change deniers, so they could slug it out together; followed by the UK's current lousy weather.
