Room 101
14 years ago
Used to be one of my favourite shows on TV, but is no longer on the air. Incase you don't know it was a TV talk/comedy where celebrities, actors, politicians etc make a list of things that they dislike and argue their case to be banished into room 101. The things they put into room can be People, tv programmes, movies, sports, pet peeves, fashions, trends etc. See the link for more information.

It got me thinking (mainly because of nothing else better to do) what I would put into Room 101 if given the oppertunity. So here is my list and reasons why... in particular order...
Olivia Newton John
I cannot watch the movie Grease as it is, but what makes it worse for me is that she has a main part in it. I just think she's a irratating lump of blonde wood, ranging from her over the top 'oh I'm such a nice girl I am' act through out the movie to the last bit where she tries to be a little bit naughty by having stupid hair (in which birds live in) and saying the worst god damn line in movies history... "tell me about it... stud" while making a crap effort to smoke a bloody cigarette. I die a little bit inside every time I hear her say that line. Not to mention her attempts at doing pop music later, that made Glee (an already sometimes annoying TV series) more annoying by having her guest star and singing that bloody song (you know what I'm on about). Of course, thats just my opinion. A line from the sci-fi sitcom Red Dwarf says it so well, "it's better to have loved and lost, than to listen to an album by Olivia Newton John... because anything is better than an album by Olivia Newton John" hehe. She so needs to go into room 101.
Automated answer machines at call centres
It's bad enough that when you have to make a phone call to somewhere really boring and tiedious like the Job Centre, and that you know you'll just get connected to some total twit named Julian. But to have to go through some automated patronising voice giving you endless options that ultimately go nowhere or even worse after hours of button mashing the line is busy and they put you on hold to elavator music... or even worse than that Olivia Newton John! I don't know a single person who likes these things.
Whiplash
I've always wanted this to go into room 101 but my reasons for it to go in there have changed. I used to think it was a made up medical injury so people to have extra time off work. Now that I've had whiplash due to a recent car accident, I think it's a horrid, painful experiance that should be banished into room 101 for that reason. It's deserving whatever your opinion of it is.

Just look at what it does, it makes Tv presenters and your average bimbo look orange!! There are some total fuckwits out there who still think it's doing your skin good... yeah right.

That can't be good.
How americans can't tell the difference between different english accents
I have more humour attached to this, because it's sort of charming in a way , but I still think it's somewhat dire hehehe. We can tell the difference between American accents, why can't you tell the difference for us? I say this because when ever I've gone to the states the only accent they seem to think exist is a cockney accent (I blame Mary Poppins for this ). I'm from the North West of England, where there are about a dozen different accents that all sound very distinct and non of which sound like a cockney accent lol In case your wondering my accent is called 'Mancunian' (as in Manchester).
and finally...
The Conservative Party (UK) and the Republican Party (USA)
I don't think I need to elaborate as such, they're both just awful LOL You know the rest.
If you have any ideas, please suggest
