An idea......

1st person - nominates something to go into room 101
2nd person - suggests why something shouldn't go into room 101
3rd perdon - decides whether something will go into room 101 and say why

keep it folk/folk club/mudcat etc etc related....

I'd like to put "cut 'n pastes" into the room...

There, I did my job...

Perhaps we may never know Sorcha.... :-)

Perhaps the spaceship hiding behind the meteor has already left...

I suggest Room 101 goes into room 101 and gets rejected.... that way we don't have to bother any more.!!!!

At least it is a guest who spends time on the music side of things. Can't make much sense of the game, though.

Cut and pastes should not be placed in a room. They are electronic phenomena and would not survive in a 3D environment.

This thread, however, should go into the roopm, because it would vaporize.

"You asked me once," said O'Brien, "what was in Room 101. I told you that you knew the answer already. Everyone knows it. The thing that is in Room 101 is the worst thing in the world."

At my daughters' school there is a classroom with the sign "Room 101" on the door. Not many seem to understand my occasional references to its contents.

Cheers, Rowan

The thing about being in a room with one's worst fears is that after a while one gets used to whatever it is. Take the Bush administration....

Each separate Olypmic event thread..... at least then they'd be consolidated into one place like the Avoiding Olympics thread!

A very old thread, but my daughter has just nominated online applications where the layout is all wrong. She has just completed one where the text boxes use fonts of different size even though they are side by side, her surname is centered, but her first name is left aligned - indeed it is the only left aligned box; there's no place to put some of her experience because it doesn't fit the authors thoughts on what might might appear, blah, blah, blah.   Don't assume that the first name is left aligned to make it easiest to pick out, because that's the smallest font.

It's just a complete design mess. And it's for a job in Arts [though they didn't design the form - a recruitment company did].

I love how instead of just goofing off and playing along, ya'll fuss with one another about the entire thing.

The Beatles? Pianos? Please don't put those in Room 101. If you've ever listened to Ashkenazy playing Beethoven's Emperor Concerto, you'd keep the old piano Richard! But most of your other suggestions I second. Can I add all these clothes and toiletry products with FUKC written on? So juvenile, like saying "Bum!" loudly at playschool! And am I alone in detesting Norman Wisdom? He can go in 101 too!

A friend and I once had a similar idea-- but ours was a whole planet.

It was a way to laugh off the frozen grimmies. (PWO!)

You could press a little button and the chosen object/person/idea would shrink as it faded up and up and up... into space.... till it got so tiny you just had to assume it had gone onto that planet (which was also invisible).

And as long as you held the button, that's where it would stay, but you could ease up a little and it would come closer..... and then if it got on your ass again you could press harder again.... as long as you cared to keep your attention on it, that is. Sometimes we took turns holding the button down for each other....

Or you could take a tourist bus tour around the planet, and inside the bus everything would be lovely, but outside was all the muck and grimness of things relegated there-- clawing at your bus to go with you and get ON the bus... but the doors never opened, as we saw it back then.

So I'm Tracing this thread for the day I next need to think about that, and letting... it all... go... till I need to revisit "Planet 101."

;~)

Thanks!

(It's Hell, innit?)

Yes Jim, it's FCUK! (But still objectionable!)
