IAN123. 9,325 Posted May 24, 2018 Report Share Posted May 24, 2018 Surely these 101ers go with the territory? I like to hear them rowing on the balcony or poolside..especially when he doesn't top up her drink..and duly cracks open another can. And going topless constantly.

benjamin1945 16,139 Posted May 25, 2018 Report Share Posted May 25, 2018 Don't really know where 'room 101' gets its name,, but its a TV programme where guests are invited to nominate things/people that they really don't like, to push into bit like things that 'pee you off' Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jill Sparrow 10,304 Posted May 25, 2018 Report Share Posted May 25, 2018 Not a George Orwell fan then, Ben? He allegedly named it after a room at The BBC where he worked. My favourite Orwellian novel is Animal Farm! No surprises there! 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Commo 1,292 Posted May 26, 2018 Report Share Posted May 26, 2018 You were subjected to such an ordeal after being arrested for "thoughtcrime", the act of THINKING or HOLDING unspoken beliefs or doubts that were opposed by the totalitarian state. In 1984 the past and history were erased, the erasure was forgotten and the Lie became the Truth. To be fair to this Forum and our implicit agreement to no political discourse, I draw no conclusion as to what is happening in the UK right now but leave that thought for you to ponder upon, but be careful because thoughtcrime exists now., 3 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
