I would like to put C list reality tv stars into Room 101. The talentless, 15 minutes of fame type, that turn up on quiz shows etc and come across as being so transparent that they are just an embarrassment. Also All Star Family Fortunes...... why call it All Star when only 1 member of the family is a 'star' ?

The parents of the Gypsy family next door but one - their kids swear like mad (the eldest told an adult to piss off on Sunday, he's all of 8) for teaching them its ok to behave like that. Grr!

The thieving scum that drilled out the locks on the doors of my van. They were on a tool shopping spree at 4am on Tuesday morning.
There are two other vans that live nearby that I know for a fact are stuffed to the gunwhales with tools, left untouched ;D ;D ;D
Being as I am a middle aged matron of this parish and not Sam the Sparky, they picked the wrong van - losers

My memory needs to go in Room 101 - twice this week I've shouted something too rude for the forum and had to rush out of the house to get something crucial Mr. H-R needed at the shops! ;D

Already fed up with hearing about the new royal baby - but as I can't possibly throw a baby into Room 101 because its not his fault and he will need his nappy changed anyway.
So the worlds media can go in instead, may be a bit of a squeeze cos it includes the Internet.

Things that just disappear, if you get my drift. You KNOW it was there, somewhere and when you back ......there it is, GONE!! Maybe things and stuff put themselves into Room 101......
AND swollen ankles
The bloke on Facefart who sent me a friend request; I sent him a pm asking if I knew him, or, indeed, he me as I'm sure I don't. His page is empty but for a few friends and looks to me like he's just fishing for "friends" and I said so.
Anywayz, he has not replied, so, Room 101 for him it is!!

Telford & Wrekin Council for changing our bin day from a Wednesday to a Tuesday; now the wee man who runs the Wheelie Clean company doesn't know if he's on foot or horseback and has asked if we could leave our bin out for him on Wednesday if he can't quite make it on Tuesday.
So, the numptie, who is so short of useful things to do, that changed our bin day harrumph!!

I would put in 101 a man I saw the other day at Morrisons shouting and jumping about taking photos of an elderly lady sitting in a car which was displaying a blue badge but was parked in a parent and child space as all the BB spaces were full. Ok, she and her husband (the driver) shouldn't really have parked there, but as they had a badge that suggests difficulty walking, so they parked in the only other space that was near the entrance.
I expect the man making a fuss will have put his photos on Morrisons FB page and on his own. I hope he feels like a big man for intimidating a woman a good 50 years older than him. I also hope his child was impressed with his marvellous display of parenting skills.

Such a waste of time and energy that could surely be put to better use - this guy is going in again!!

The teenage mother with buggy and toddler in Tesco Express yesterday.
Thursday is big fresh food delivery day for this wee shop, so the staff are busy stacking shelves and moving stock around on those cage trolley things.
This daft bint, having been brought to a halt by one such cage, just stood there for the longest time........of course she was handicapped in that she was one handed..........that is to say her left hand was steering the buggy round and he right hand - you guessed it -
was clamping her super duper phone to her ear, moaning away at the pitch of her lungs and throwing in the odd f*word, for all to share.
At the check out, phone still in use, the buggy was just the right distance for the child to amuse himself in wrecking the chewing gum display..........this, she ignored, while she hummed and haaed about which cigarettes to buy, "oo they're all so dear".......still on phone, now bellowing about the invasion of mice in her home......still on the phone, she paid for her bread and milk, crunched her way through the packs of gum on the floor and was gone, leaving a huge queue for both check out and self serve.
Another classic lesson in parenting skills
oops, that makes me sound angry now but such lack of consideration is just not on!!

God help the poor child. People do seem to be a lot more angry these days though, they blow up over the most petty of things, life's too short and there are more important things to worry about quite frankly.

Letting Agents My daughter has just let a flat in London... not a nice bit of London but it's still costing her a grand a month I guess for that much money, most of us would expect a little palace, not a little shit hole like the place she's moved into but anyway...... She still hasn't met or had any contact with the landlord, as the letting agent does all the work for him... AL THE WORK?? that's a feckin joke On moving in we had been told she couldn't put any pins or nails in the wall.. We assumed that this was because the décor was in a high state of repair... not that it wasn't possible to find a piece of wall that wasn't already peppered liberally with screws nails and bits of missing plaster. The ceiling was filthy as was the kitchen and as I went to put a new lightbulb in a none working wall light I found the detached power cable poking out of the wall with nicely exposed live wires positioned carefully to give an unsuspecting person a shock.. (fortunately I'm a spark of sorts and was able to make this safe myself). Having phoned the letting agent to politely ask if this was normal practise to let a flat withoui a safety inspection, they simply blamed the landlord but were not able to contact him because he was in The Maldives on vacation (something I guess you can do often if you have a few of these flats in your possession to let). Within 24 hours the electricity went off... it took 5 calls to said letting agent to get an electrician out to discover that the problem was surprisingly not faulty wiring but simply that the meter had run out of credit. Youi'd think this was stupid of my daughter not to have realised but she's had no kind of welcome pack explaining where everything is and how to access stuff like the meter. It turned out the meter box was locked with no keys and when the sparky managed to force the door open on the meter box, there was no electricity key/card thingy that's required to charge the meter up. Oh my lord I could be typing all night and I wouldn't have described all the problems the poor girl's had but suffice to say the Letting agent, Haart UK has been about as much use as a chocolate bloody kettle. Latest episode from today is she's discovered the flat was previously occupied by a large group of Afghan immigrants who are now on the run from the authorities, any of whom might still have a key!!!! All the letting agent can advise is that Joanne changes the locks herself as the Landlord isn't available to comment!!! Crucifixtion would be too good for these people let alone putting them into room 101 grrrr

Ian, I sympathise! My youngest and her boyfriend have rented some dreadful places over the 7 years they've been together - the last one was condemned by the council as unfit for human habitation - their landlord lived in Pakistan and the 'management' company couldn't give a toss so long as the money was coming in.
I really hope your daughter can find somewhere better and soon. It's horrible when you know your beloved daughter is living in a pigsty, don't blame you for being angry!

Might I suggest that separate duvets may be the way forward? Not getting enough sleep won't be much fun for either of you.

I was never a great believer in ibuprofen until now.. I try not to visit the doctor. The waiting room is full of people who can't wait to give me something nasty.
