I don't think we've done this, if we have it's a while ago.

What would you put in room 101 ?
I've got my engine running for a quick get away when I say.....F1!

Football programmes after the 10 pm (ish) news on Saturday and Sunday evenings. I am right behind you Nina

That annoying girl in the CSL (I think) advert who now has an equally irritating double hmm

Ana Tue 25-Mar-14 17:14:12

Yes! Every time she used to say 'Lazy Boys' it sounded like 'Ladyboys'! grin

KatyK Tue 25-Mar-14 18:12:03

Football (in fact most sport), snobbery, bad manners and Cilla Black!

tiggypiro Tue 25-Mar-14 20:39:04

Definitely football and everything else to do with it - especially overpaid footballers.
Unpleasant neighbours.

KatyK Tue 25-Mar-14 21:30:44

Oh yes bad neighbours. Had to move house once because of this and my daughter is having big problems now.

Not only football, but also the busy TV sports screens, there's so much going on: split screens, commentators, breaking news, columns of results. They should issue one of those "contains flashing images" warnings.

Also "rolling" news, "24/7".

ROOM 101! I feel better already.

Going back to unpleasant neighbours, the 'Thieving B*****d' next door moved last week. I havn't met the new ones yet but we do wonder if we can have them on 6 mths trial !

Neighbours who put their rubbish out days before the actual collection day.

All adverts for online bingo.

Iam64 Wed 26-Mar-14 08:25:47

Top Gear... Aaaaaargh! Hate it!

Grannyknot Wed 26-Mar-14 08:33:55

Joy so do I. It's like a red rag to a bull grin

JoyBloggs Wed 26-Mar-14 09:05:08

Grannyknot So glad I'm not alone! I'm getting all agitated just thinking about it...

tv cooking

SKY rolling news - no more Kay and Adam on any other channel

Most sport - keep tennis and Six Nations

Items that are packaged in plastic that you can't open and the same goes for items that are fixed to packaging with tiny little wire twists or plactic clips. angry

Lona Wed 26-Mar-14 09:25:21

Ana I thought she said 'ladyboys' too! grin

People who don't teach their children to use toilets properly and not leave a mess!

Dragonfly1 Wed 26-Mar-14 09:55:24

People who park in the mother and child spaces at the shops when they have no children with them. Makes me want to punch them!

chloe1984 Wed 26-Mar-14 10:07:55

Anyone who spits on the pavement or anywhere else other than a sink (which they should then clean quickly)

Stansgran Wed 26-Mar-14 10:57:47

Chewing gum

Those men who scatter the sawdust around the 'long drop' loos on Skomer as if they were hamsters. (The ladies do it so delicately)

nb: Us vols have to clear the wasted sawdust up with a dustpan.

Ariadne Wed 26-Mar-14 11:55:55

On TV - Cooking programmes; football; car programmes

In real life - men (usually is!) who park their supermarket trolleys in the middle of an aisle; drivers who don't indicate; middle lane hoggers on motorways; drivers who either go too fast or far too slow; junk mail.

JoyBloggs Wed 26-Mar-14 12:20:16

Impatient drivers, especially those who follow about 3 inches from my back bumper when I'm complying with the speed limit...

whenim64 Wed 26-Mar-14 12:43:07

TV adverts for pay day loans, insurance for over-50s, furniture sales that last all year, motor and accident claims.

Junk mail, litter and officious councils who don't manage rubbish and recycling.

Tegan Wed 26-Mar-14 13:14:53

Why, when they have been exposed so often are these pay day loans companies still in existence [and why oh why are they allowed to advertise angry].
