    What would you put in Room 101?

    "You know what's in Room 101, Winston. Everyone knows what's in Room 101." -- G. Orwell.

    My current list in no particular order:

    Microsoft Natural Keyboard
    Anne Robinson AND The Welsh
    People who hog the outside lane
    People who drive so close they can read my number plate by brail
    The smell of shoe shops
    People over 70 who shop at lunch time
    Security barrier intercoms
    People who don't say who they are when they come to my office asking for help
    Used Car Salesmen
    The Tweenies

      Room 101 is that place where your worst fears reside, it comes from the novel 1984 by George Orwell. More recently its used as somewhere to put those things that really annoy you in a BBC TV program of the same name. Anne Robinson said whe wanted to put the Welsh in there and provoked a national outcry

        Oh, cool.

        To bad the book is sitting on my desk (and move around the room when I look for stuff) yet I didn't find the patience to sit down and read it the last few years.

        Maybe it's because I experience it for real when I use M$ software...

          By the way,

          In this case, most people would put their mother in law there.

                    My mistake, I meant to type Telly Tubbies, and stir up some feeling, but it was early...

                    The Tweenies are cool http://www.bbc.co.uk/education/tweenies/

                    Oh well, this thread isn't going where I wanted it to anyway. The idea was you all posted lists of things you nominate for inclusion in room 101 because you don't like them, or they are annoying, or just for a laugh!

                      Ya, I think that would be considered for everyone's Room 101.
