Room 101

[radfordred 6,284]

Had a family of about 10 plonk themselves not 20 foot away from us on the beach, I'm now finding that Leeds/Wakefield/Barnley accent annoying not from the blokes it's the women, ones puffing on a vape tank the size of a packet of biscuits that's never left her hand, in the other hand her iPhone which she's now talking to her Mam back in the UK via video link, I'm surprised you can't hear her? Half sleeve of tattoos & three stone over weight ..... Broken Britain.

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.

"I paid for 'em..you show 'em babe".

Sorry to be so thick but I have been away for a long time - what is Room 101

[benjamin1945 16,139]

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'       

[radfordred 6,284]

The torture room in George Orwell 1984 book, could be the only topic I've ever started? 

[Jill Sparrow 10,304]

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!

Room 101 in the novel 1984 was where you were subjected to your greatest fear - like rats in a cage over your head!

[benjamin1945 16,139]

Thanks  Red,, Jill,, and Margie,, you learn everyday on Nottstalgia,,.............

Or, in Ben's case, a world without females! 

[Commo 1,292]

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.,

Comedian,,            Can't remember jokes

Arrogant,,               Mmm can be at times

Controlling,,           Nah, can't be ar**d

Self satisfying,,      Not even sure I know what this means

Know it all,,             I know a bit but theres more I don't know

In ya face,,               Never,

Bragging,,               It's 'ard to be 'umble when you're perfect. 

Egotistical              Ask others about this

Manipulative          As with controlling

Deluded                   Probably

Fantasising             Yes... oh boy do I have fantasies  

Pushy                        Never

Insecure                   Can be in a crowd

Walter Mitty             I'm not but not sure about the others that live in my head

[radfordred 6,284]

 

I'm to think to understand the questions or meanings or bothered, read out & answered by Mrs Red she must know after 35 odd years? 

Comedian - witty sometimes dry

Arrogant - sometimes 

Controlling - can be

Self Satisfying - Happy

Know it all - now & then

In ya face - no

Bragging - no

Egotistical - no

Manipulative - same as controlling 

Deluded - no

Fantasising - can be 

Pushy - can be 

Insecure - nah

Walter Mitty - O'yes 

[FLY2 10,108]

Repetitive though aren't you RR ?

[FLY2 10,108]

I'm slightly all of the things mentioned, but the thing is, I'm nice with it ! Oh, and charming to boot !

It's the aforementioned and others that are the problem !

[benjamin1945 16,139]

[benjamin1945 16,139]

Not that I want to put her in room 101,, but also today went into Bulwell to get some keys cut for the firm I work for sometimes,, and saw an old flame fro early 60s,,who has had throat cancer and can't speak,,          said ey-up Josie (shes been on her own a few years) when do you want me to move in with you ?        got the two finger sign and silently told me ''F off Ben'' with a lovely smile.... I know she wants me really.......lol.
