What 5 things would you put in Room 101 & why? Page 5

(I like Guy.)

*hides, as a precaution*

I changed my allegiances so many times during Green Wing! I liked Guy, then hated him, then loved him when he "let Mac have" Caroline! Ultimately though, I didn't want Guy to end up with Caroline.

Nope. Too knackered. I need to be more disciplined and knuckle down to the writing the moment I get in from work. It was so much easier to churn out more stuff and better this time last year, when I was out of work for a while.

I face a similar problem. I seem to busy to write nmuch now, and when I'm not busy I'm too tired.

But it's a great idea for a show. The only way a celebrity can escape unthinkable torture is to scream the name of another celebrity victim for next week and throw themselves on the mercy of the phone votes. Sort of "I am Crimethink Unperson, Get Me Out Of Here".

That is actually quite a good concept. The post-show interviews with Davina in the Chestnut Tree Cafe could be very moving.

How about "Do It To Julia!"

:(

Poor JuliaC.

Quite.

It was so much easier to churn out more stuff and better this time last year, when I was out of work for a while. Still, my Sitcom Trials entry is half-written and there's still a fortnight to go.

Are you going to be posting it?

Quote: Griff @ July 31 2008, 11:57 AM BST

Marc - no, I won't be posting it. If it's good enough to get into the Trials this year, you can all go and see it at the Arts Theatre, if not, well I don't want to embarrass myself by posting a load of half-baked shite that was written in a fug of exhaustion between midnight and 1am every night.

That's the spirit!

LOL, that Londonshire is too far for me to get to,

- Late/rude people
- Ornaments (you know the ones that just collect dust)
- Smoking in front of children
- Slow walking people
- Not being able to think of things.

Ageist!

Urgh! Agreed! I can walk home in half an hour on my own, but if I'm walking with certain friends then it can take double that. Plus, the amount of times I've missed the tube because of people sauntering down the stairs. What are they doing? Admiring the scenery?

1) Smoking. Smokers. People who stand outside my office window thinking none of the smoke is coming in. Smokers who think they are in a 'bubble of smoke' and it doesn't linger or drift more than 30cm from their head. People who complain about smokers and, after one drink, light one up. Sir Francis Bacon or St Francis of Assisi, I can never remember which one brought over tobacco... or was it potatoes...

2) Soap opera. It is f**king mind-numbing. That way they speak, you can tell if something is a soap from hearing the slightest bit of dialogue from half a mile away.

3) Working 9-5, five days a week. Who came up with that idea? How ridiculous is it? What extra do we do in eight hours, five days a week, that we couldn't do in six hours, four days a week. Knob-heads.

4) Cricket. Sport should take longer than 24 to finish.

5) (Specific to today) F**king Red Hat Network...

In response to Bandage's true use of Room 101: a combination of 1, 2 and 4 would genuinely cause me to kill myself in preference.

Re: how to get smokers to stop buying cigarettes -- simply change warnings they don't care about on packets ("You might die in the most horrible ways") to "You pay approximately 90% tax on this product!" They'd stop buying it like that <clicks fingers>.

Smoking is quite cool, though. And women who do it, sexy.

1. Wafflers who over explain things using ten times as many words.
2. Happy hardcore.
3. Constipation.
4. Conservatories.
5. Jovial weathermen.

Don't mix up 'sexy' with 'stood outside in Winter with nipples sticking out like sticks cos of a ridiculous habit'.
