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!

I've remembered the name of the one with the manky hair - Russell Brand. It only took me a day !

I also want to add Paul Flowers.

Nankate - it's a deal grin

You can have him KatyK, just keep him suppressed when I am about - thanks.

KatyK Tue 01-Apr-14 20:52:59

I rather like the manky one.........just reaching for my tin hat...

I wouldn't be surprised Feetlebaum if the manky one is intelligent, he just happens to be a loudmouthed, jumped up, pain in the ar**.

You may have noticed I have a slight dislike for this plonker - I did want to say another word beginning with W, but I don't want to be as foul mouthed as he is.

My tirade is now at an end. I now bow out to great applause.

Nick Knowles and Dominic Littlewood who seem to have daytime TV sewn up between them.

Ooh yes - that is the mot juste - 'manky'. He never looks clean somehow, does he? The sad thing is, he is not an unintellligent moron - I've seen him crossing swords with American conservatives on a US show, and he ran rings round them.

In retrospect that wouldn't necessarily be all that difficult!

I would choose: thongs* and tattoos.

*the underwear, not the sandals.

Jonathan Ross and the other one with the manky long black hair.
Litter
Spit and other human debris in the street. sad

P.S. If I ever see J Ross and his horrid sidekick in the paper, I get a biro and scrub them out - SO THERE !

All reality tv and the " celebs " on the judging panels, in particular, Cheryl Cole; people who tell lies, men who spit; Alan Carr and Jimmy Carr; Costa coffee, (taking over the small independent high street coffee shops;) body odour; spoilt children; commercialism at Christmas;.............etc, etc. I shall probably think of loads more later.

1. French bureaucrats
2. The expression "desolé" which means "I am pretending to apologise, but actually I couldn't give a toss", especially when used by the above.
3. Nicki Chapman
4. French swimming pool opening hours (can I put those in?)
5. Bill Turnbull

Bad manners of all kinds - and that definitely includes speaking loudly on a mobile and carrying on speaking on it when interacting with someone else, like when being served by a shop assistant.

Good manners cost nothing and help spread the innate of the warmth of human kindness.

All plastic wrapping
The need to respond to a mobile regardless of what someone is doing

A driving instructor that exploded?! confused indeed.

Ashmore32 Thu 27-Mar-14 20:39:55

Merlotgran, It is like my driving instructor drives with me in the car, poor indication was among his top 5 things which were likely to have him explode, theirs and mine, the others were with wrong speed, poor position in the road, not thinking ahead, and driving too close. I drive like `i am expecting a sarcastic comment, with the comment usually coming out of my mouth parrot fashion!

I did toy with the idea of doing an instructors or examiners course but after taking my children out between lessons poor them succumbed to Lawrence Todds sarcastic parrot fashion comments too.
I wonder what happened to my poor Driving Instructor along with his partner in crime for when he went on holiday....he made Lawrence sound calm in comparison.

If anyone knows him pass on my best wishes please

No need to apologise to me Ashmore32. Your post didn't upset me, or anyone close to me. My comment was about the strength of your feelings, which you described as "vicious'.

merlotgran Thu 27-Mar-14 16:47:17

Ashmore32, Maybe the driver is dithering because you haven't indicated grin

Ashmore32 Thu 27-Mar-14 16:16:24

Apologies Iam64 if I upset you, if you or yours, belong to any of the group who are currently on my 101 hit list, they are but a selected few.
I know lots of nice Drs, nurses MW's and HV's. Along with a few 'professionally nice and trying their best in a broken system' SW's I have worked with in 37 years.

Normally 101ers for me are pedestrians crossing the road with children between pelican traffic lights100m apart,dithering drivers at roundabouts and pedantic car park attendants.

Iam64 Thu 27-Mar-14 12:37:44

That's coming over loud and clear Ashmore32.

Ashmore32 Thu 27-Mar-14 10:48:58

The whole local county department of The SS along with the A&P lot, if we could squeeze St George's Childrens department along with my local hospitals childrens department in too...if not quite enough room for the whole department, then I have 6 doctors and 4 nurses plus 3 H, and 3 midwives that need to go in head first..hoping for a very long drop to the bottom...long enough for them to realise e error of their ways.. Feeling decidedly vicious this morning.....
