Room 101

[Handrejka 1,840]

 

The dinnerladies. Crimes against comedy, guilty as charged, no right to appeal, life with no parole. Case closed.

 

Thankyou TLC, I thought I was the only person in Britain who hates this so called 'comedy' with a passion, you have just restored a small (very tiny) bit of my faith in humanity.

 

May I also add

 

'The Office' I'm sure I'm the only person in the world that thinks this programme is complete shite .

 

No I can't stand it either or "Extras" which was even worse, Gervais is an overrated twat.

 

 

 

Extras was awful, awful awful. I've never seen The Office. I was still television free when that was on

[Handrejka 1,840]

Anneka Rice, Anthea Turner, the whole Royal Family, David Cameron, Jade Goodie, Graham Norton, Geri Haliwell, Angus Deaton, Alistair Campbell, Robert Mugabe, that awful woman from The Good Life and To The Manor Born whose name escapes me at the moment, Alex Ingletorpe, Jeremy Irons, PJ and Duncan, Kevin Costner, Anthony Worral-Thompson, Cherie Blair, Richard Branson. The world would be a much better place if they were thrown on a mass bonfire tomorrow morning.

 

Do you mean Penelope Keith?

 

If those clothes were still around now, I'd have to have them thrown into Room 101, too.

 

That's her!

 

I really shouldn't post on this website after midnight. I was obviously overtired which always makes me start ranting. I would never dream of posting something like that during daylight hours.

 

I don't have an opinion on Penelope Keith. Felicity Kendal on the other hand is one of the most annoying women on television. That voice grrrrr

Nice bum though (some time ago now that gravity has pulled on it for many years)

 

 

My candidates for Room 101 are legion; it starts with politicians and any of the bewildering array of officials who use MY money to tell me how to live MY life.

 

It may be easier, and quicker to list what I would keep.

I think Felicty Kendall's bum was once deemed so nice she won the dubious honour of 'Rear of the year.' Other winners included Suzi Quatro so it wasn't exactly a competition for the obvious tall, thin beauties.

 

Why we bothered with the competition beats me, was it jeans companies promoting their wares by means of getting prominent females to don figure hugging denims?

Just to clarify - it's the horsey looking woman on the right that I find annoying.

So the dinnerladies is supposed to be a comedy then, I was never quite sure. Such is my hatred for it, a friend brought me a DVD box set of series 1 & 2 for xmas as a (expensive) joke. According to the box it contained over 7 hours of comedy gold; I'll ask my mum what she thinks if she ever gets round to opening her last birthday present!

 

Why people don't include receipts with presents is beyond me....

 

Not my own personal complaint*, but I once read the following and it is strangely logical: -

 

Soft porn. People who like porn hate it, and people who hate porn also hate it, so what's the point?

 

*I may as well have started that sentence off with 'my friend said....'

 

ps DDT The sword of time will pierce our skins

It doesn't hurt when it begins

But as it works its way on in

The pain grows stronger watch it grin

 

According to the God called Google anyway.

Re the New Zealand "song":

 

A quote from the writer's website says:

 

"Dave Dobbyn is regarded as a national treasure in New Zealand. It’s a Japanese expression used for people who have made such a contribution to a country’s identity and culture that their existence is a cause for celebration."

 

Can someone explain to me what part of that sentence is being referred to as a "Japanese expression"?

 

I wondered where I'd heard of him, and checked said site to see that he has done work with the excellent (but not so excellently named) Bic Runga.

 

In some of his pics he looks like NZ's answer to Mick Hucknall - not something you'd want to publicise about yourself.

 

By the way, NZ's a wonderful place, and doesn't need some crappy song, some fit skinny bird and George Clooney looky-likey on a boat to sell it - just show the pictures!

In Japan some craftsmen and -women (such as weavers, swordsmiths, potters and bunraku performers) are recognised as such masters in their skill that they recieve the title Living National Treasure and a small government pension.

Su Pollard was an unlikely winner one year too!!!

 

To keep this on topic how about parents who give their kids stupid names like Dandelion Ribena or take a perfectly good name and twist the spelling so Louise becomes Loooeezzzze.

Notapotato, for some reason i'm in the mood to relive the story of Fred M. Would you like to share with us?

[Anubis the Jackal 76]

Oh, I nearly forgot.

 

The University-educated fart-hammers who control the content of our mass-media, and insist on aiming it at the imaginary socially-lobotomised drooling cretin that they imagine to be representative of the general public.

Couldn't agree more Handrejka, there is some poor girl in Glasgow called 'Pocahontas', what were her parents thinking (or not)?

[Magere Hein 1,397]

My additions to Room 101, or in some cases the B-Ark

• The Dutch Prime Minister
  

Well I'll be damned. The Dutch government resigned yesterday. Rejoice! (x3)

You could try replacing them with a 5lb wheel of Gouda, bound to be an improvement.

Certainly. The Gouda wheel wouldn't tell so many lies and do such stupid things.

 

We'll have to wait what results the General Elections will bring, but any government will be an improvement. This one was by far the most heartless and imcompetent Dutch cabinet I can remember from the last 30 years.

By contrast one of the most caring and compentent cabinets in the world is that of Niue Island (population

just dipped under the thousand mark)

 

If you are confined to your bed through illness, you will be personally attended by the Minister Of Health, by tradition always a nurse.

Would you want Patricia Hewitt visiting you in hospital?

 

That would finish off the weaker ones, still one way to clear out the bed-blockers.

You know AtJ, I had to read that a couple of times before it sank in. I assume you mean Murdoch, Desmond, the BBC etc and the owners/producers of such riveting programs as Big Bruvver? If so, I heartily agree!

Sounds like one of those 'someone I know....' stories to me, when really the person is talking about themselves?

 

So is it Lady P, Poca or Hontas for short?

Why do people do it? I knew a very young couple in Suffolk who named their daugher Ikea Cheyenne and then there was a little boy called Eric Cantona. His surname was House which made him sound like a tower block.
