room 101 is open for everyone to put in the things they hate in life. can be from old people driving, to swivel chairs. if u dont like it put it in here .....

I'm going to put Room 101 itself into Room 101, thereby creating an infinitely recursive loop and causing some portion of reality to collapse in on itself.

Clever. Anyway, I'd stick chavs and emos in their for good.

Curses! Beat me to it!

Is this thread based on the TV show or Orwell? The TV show is great. Paul Merton in a legend.

didn't Paul Merton already do that? :confused:


i'm gonna put conservatives in there :)
and then maggie thatcher


and then a small explosive... :D :p

opening room 102, to continue the thread......

there are an infinite amount of numbers therefore i can keep this thread going forever, so dont try putting room 102 inside room 102

I'd stick student politics into room 101. Then I'd put national and local politics in as well for good measure.

i think the show was based on orwell, so this thread takes it lineage from both....

someone should take up the paul merton role, and come with witty resonses to the suggestions

I would put American Idol in Room 101. I would also put people who think they know what they are talking about, but don't in there.

The inability to differentiate between 'their', 'there' and 'they're'.

Merton had a script though and script writers to help him come up with witty answers.


you dont get the role, that wasnt a very witty response. perhaps you need your own script writer .....

I'm gonna put general in room 101. Not cos I hate it, but because I want to see how long it will take for us to take over(and break it)

Hmm, that's strange. I so remember seeing this thread or something very similar to it a long time ago. I even remember someone saying they would put Room 101 in Room 101.

is this based on nineteen-eighty-four

Yay, Paul Merton!

I would put margaret thatcher and people whose opinions of you change when they find out you smoke.

you dont get the role, that wasnt a very witty response. perhaps you need your own script writer .....Perhaps you need one too. Perhaps if we share one we can cut costs. I'm too tired to even make an attempt at being witty. Someone else be witty so I can chuckle.

Meh, Paul doesn't need a script.

I'd put de ja vu in room 101! that and my spelling!!! I blame both on 'shrooms!!!

Plastic and cell phones.

Room 101 is about facing your worst fears. So wear your rat-cage, Winston Smith.

I would make American Dad face his worst fears.

O'Brien says that it was a common punishment in Imperial China...

But back to point, I'd have to say that I'd put small children in Room 101. Just because.

when i read 1984, room 101 was a big let down!
its just an ordianry room.
if you were trying to beat a phobia you would have to pay a doctor plenty of money for him to do the same thing to you as the inner party would.
I would put smug smiles in room 101.

Farscape, the TV show.

and Sony, the company...


and ipods, why not, while i'm at it. stupd white plasticy things - they don't even look finished to me! grr....

Cockroaches. Lots and lots of nasty crawly icky cockroaches scuttling about. *shudders*.

I'm placing those stupid 'Scent Story' air fresheners in the Room. I mean, WTF?

I'd put in drivers who never use the turn signal.

What happens again if room 101 gets stuck in room 102? I might've missed it.

So, in room 101, i'd put a humidifier
in room 102, i'd put a de-humidifier.
Then i'd do what i said in the above post and let 'em fight it out.

Perhaps, i would stick United States right wing commentators of all media and stuff them in room 101, and the left wing commentators in room 102, and let them at it under the same circumstances. Well, not all of them from either wing, but certainly from every angle of public influence.

I would also stick the apologists for all irrational/illogical policy stuffed in either room.

I would put Room 102 in Room 101, so I could put you in both rooms at once.

I am an unreptentant misanthrope. I have to put all of humanity in Room 101.

So long as the commentators aren't in there. That's my last request. It could get ugly otherwise ...
Wait, it's ugly now, so no worries i guess!

But Room 101 houses your worst fears so the commentaors would have to be there.

No hopefully Room 102 doesn't contain eternal bliss......

Rational Fears
Severe Weather
Heights
Painful Diseases
Another 6 years of a Conservative Government
Dick Cheney


Irrational Fears
Giant Bugs
Zombies
Scientologists
Aliens

Not my worst fears, persay, so much as some of my worst irritants.
Room 102 had its relation explained to room 101 earlier, IIRC.

If you want fears, or at least unsettling and unsavory circumstances, throw in some caulrophobia and/or Anginophobia, and/or Hagiophobia, and/or (hmm perhaps a list here ...)

Bromidrosiphobia
Cypridophobia
Demophobia
Scopophobia
Topophobia

I'll go halfsies w/ya (Yarvolk loved that idea)

Phobia - fear of.

Now it's your turn. :D

Well demo means people. So I assume demophobia means fear of people. Alternatively it could be fear of democracies. I don't know.

scopo looks like scope. So maybe that means fear of looking at stuff or being looked at.

I give up.

Good!
Yeah, some "phobia"s also work well as "uncomfortability".
Scopo - people looking at me (funny, i'm a public entertainer sometimes)
demo - groups of people (i always feel stuck in the cattle movement)

Caulro - as in a caul or sheathing of the face - clowns
Angino - as in a tracheal disturbance - sore throat
Bromidrosi - fear of body odour ;) (more someone else's fear of me, but i sure as f*ck find the smell of certain other people insipid - my bro-in-law's feet, for example)
Cyprido - venereal disease (i suppose i could explain, but just punch up "syphilis results" w/pix. :eek: )
Topo - certain places
Hagio - saints and the "holy" (a strong dislike or lack of comfort with)

Damn, I should have got the Hagio one. The Hagia Sophia - the Church of Holy Wisdom.

Hmm... perhaps I won't do the image search... I don't want to have my mind filled with images of venereal disease just before I go into an exam.

Ya know, a teacher says it's a "helpful visual aid" to the material, but i really think it's about inflicting a permanent reflex upon someone's psyche - an etching of consequence.
Syphilis is particularly horrible in a lot of ways. I don't have it (i'm pretty sure) but i can sure as hell fear it. *nods emphatically*

Syphilis is particularly horrible in a lot of ways. I don't have it (i'm pretty sure) but i can sure as hell fear it. *nods emphatically*I have a good memory for forgeting disturbing images. I've been shown the most horrible images of dental decay when I was getting braces. All I remember is that the teeth weren't 100% okay. And I still don't brush my teeth regularly, and I still haven't ever had a filling. Yay me.

My memory is tied to my intellect in that its sporadic and dangerously inconsistent - but a few things are still up there. And the syphilis image is definitely one of them.
Actually, my memory's a little peculiar. If i go to the mirror, for example, to pull off a moustache hair that's shooting off at an angle, as soon as i see that and start doing something about it, my memory will flash immediately back to where my thoughts were (if they weren't finished the first time) the last time i'd been in the same visual scenario. I pick right up where i left off.
I've hoped to use that to my advantage, but it doesn't work unless i carry a mirror around with me ;)

As for your teeth - watch out. My wisdom teeth impacted and forced a few out of alignment - they made an angular impact that was hard for me to fix, and a cavity got between the teeth at the gumline, which caused one of those infections you hear about (upper jaw right) - when the infection impresses the nerve, it's particularly unpleasant - not the dull ache you can used to over time nor the sharp ache that occurs from inhaling cold air quickly over one. A sharp and stabbing pain that goes right up along the nerves - behind the eye, along the temples, up alongside the nose, to the hinge of the jaw. Sweat pours out, and after a while, you lose focus of most things except the lack of comfort. But i got it drilled out, yay!

What would I put in room 101? Tony Blair. Let's see him face up to his darkest fear. Which is probably a country run by true Labour.

i'm gonna put conservatives in there :)
Nooooooooooo! :eek:

*Falls into Room 101*

Oh, wait, you said conservatives with a little c. Us Big C Conservatives are all cuddly, socially responsible and environmentally friendly these days, right?

Right?

You can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time. Right now, you're fooling no one.

The inability to differentiate between 'their', 'there' and 'they're'.

There, there. They're still studying their grammar.

I like that. Tony Blair in Eric Blair's nightmare creation.

I'll just go along with this and pretend I was making a witty reference...:p

Didn't occur to me Orwell's real name was Eric Blair when I posted that; I said it because I think he deserves to be there.

Looks like he's heading for the outer anyway. Will his heir apparent, Gordon Brown, be any better?

I think the question to ask is: 'Will his heir apparent, Gordon Brown, actually be his heir?'

I hope so. Take Labour back to the left. We've had New Labour, now we want True Labour.

Oh god Emos are so goin in. Oh and the queen, just to teach her a fuckin lesson

The inability to differentiate between 'their', 'there' and 'they're'.

You are a wonderfull person,
although the one that gets me the most at the moment is then/than.

I´d put ALL day-time television in...

CD cases that break the first time you open them, and the person who designed them. And David Caruso.

The people at Fox who cancelled Firefly. Right-wing ideology. Capitalism. Organised religion. Hat shops that don't sell hats that fit my head.
And just to paradox things up, the entirety of existence, including Room 101.
