Room 101

Five things you'd put in Room 101 and why :-

1. The wind - not the internal kind, the stuff that blows you about like a million little leprechauns poking you with sticky stick things and ruffling your hair about and just generally doing your head in. It has no purpose whatsoever. A slight breeze would do it for the pollen/seeds - the rest is a bad joke by God.

2. Christmas in October - totally unnecessary. 20th December would suffice at a push.

3. Urine - isn't it always that way that you HAVE to go just when you're enjoying yourself? In Porty's case of course you just do it outside.......

4. Polo neck jumpers. They make you look like you've got 5 chins even if you don't. They're itchy and if it's really cold and you breathe on them they go all damp and yucky.

5. Camels - Ugly, smelly, bad tempered, uncomfy and not in the least bit photogenic.

1. birds. all of them. maybe not owls.

2. excessive fire alarm testing at work when you're listening to something good

3. getting something in your shoe

4. pet shops with rows and rows of empty fish tanks with no nice coloured tropical fish in them. just water and plants. i hate that.

5. strategies, frameworks, focus groups, committees, agendas

1. Sushi...I am not sea-lion and I don't want to eat like one arf arf. Just cook the fish and I'll eat it

2. Palm pilots...whats wrong with a kitchen calendar

3. Junk mail...an Amazonian Rainforest comes through my letter box every week, unsolicited and I then feel under pressure to recycle it. Just cut out the middle man

4. Scout post...very commendable cause I'm sure, but please don't give me a deadline of 5th December when I know I can post for another 2 and a half weeks and I haven't even bought my cards yet anyway

5. Supermarket trolleys that need a one pound coin...when all I have is two pound coins

1. personalised number plates that make no sense
2. people who don't put their indicator on to signify turning right until the lights go green
3. people who don't clean up after their dogs
4. litterers
5. domestic blindness

So if the car in front of you had the numberplate "B3Z 4U" and put on its indicator after the lights changed, as the driver emptied the ashtray out of one window whilst his dog pooed out of the other one, what I think you're saying is, that person would annoy you?

Especially if they had stepped over a pair of shoes on their way out the door that had been sitting there for 7 days.

But since it's the season of goodwill ... perhaps I would let them off.

Also, I need to think about that number plate. It seems almost too ... meaningful somehow.
