RANT 101

Advantages: THERAPEUTIC
Disadvantages: NOTHING

...MY Room 101. 1. NOISEY NEIGHBOURS! You know who you are! Or do you? Perhaps, just perhaps some Noisy Neighbours really are thick as pig pu and don?t realise how much they impact on other peoples lives. I suspect though, as with my neighbours, they just don?t care. They are living their noisy, careless little lives without a thought for anybody else. It seems to me that this is becoming more common and is certainly worsened when ?They? breed and have noisy off spring who are left to roam the roads like little street rats. It?s the children I feel sorry for who will grow up thinking its just fine to act that way. And they are our next generation. ?Where all Doomed !!!? 2. TRAFFIC WARDENS. I suspect many street rats grow up and become traffic wardens, creeping around inflicting illegal parking fines on poor...

Review of What I'd put in room 101

101 Delightful Dalmatians

Advantages: Funny, Classic, Family fun.
Disadvantages: You must be joking!

...101 Dalmatians LENGTH: 79 minutes ORIGINAL FILM RELEASE DATE: January 25, 1961 VIDEO RELEASE DATE: April 1992 DIRECTED BY: Wolfang Reitherman, Hamilton Luske and Clyde Geronimi PRODUCED BY: Walt Disney WRITING CREDITS: Bill Peet (story), Dodie Smith (novel) MUSIC BY: Mel Leven, George Bruns SONGS BY: Mel Leven --~-- The Story --~-- Well, I think everybody knows the story of 101 Dalmatians. It all starts off with a dog named Pongo on a search for mates for him at his owner Roger (although the story is narrated from the dogs' point of view, and so the adults are seen as the pets). The lovable rogue after spotting a potential mate, takes his owner to the park, were he tries his hardest to get them to notice each other. It's not an easy task. And after several failed attempts they end up tied...

Review of 101 Dalmatians (DVD)

Room 101: 1500+ Words of Unadulterated Therapy

Advantages: Getting lots of pent up frustrations off my chest
Disadvantages: It's a LOT of pent up frustration!

...INTRODUCTION I have had very little to complain about during my time here on Ciao. The community is great, the reviews are of an excellent standard (most of the time) and I very much appreciate the reads, rates and comments. However, having been born in England, I feel a pathological need to complain, so when casting about for ideas for a non-product review, I was delighted to find Room 101. There are certain things in this life that cause me a disproportionate amount of stress given their relative insignificance. I wish I had the patience to deal with them. But I can?t. They annoy me, frustrate me, and drive me to distraction. Some even stir primitive, near-homicidal urges. If the mythical Room 101 were to exist, these are the types of people, things and behaviours I would seek to banish within. Trust me - the world would be...

Review of What I'd put in room 101

My room 101 is filling up

Advantages: some..?
Disadvantages: some..?

...I have read many of these reviews and as I do enjoy the odd rant or two I thought I'd add my tuppence worth so as to basically get it off my chest? So we begin?. Get ready to open the door to room 101... The first thing to go into the room would have to be the constant bombardment of reality tv shows and how every time you turn a page in any newspaper some 'fame seeking' has been is smiling back at me? I try my hardest to avoid the likes of X Factor, strictly comes dancing, big brother and all the others by not watching the television in the first place? but I find it hard to stay sane when it is pushed into every nook and cranny on every corner of the street?What is all that about..? I mean, fair enough if you like to watch this stuff then watch it with my blessing, (not that you need my blessing of course)? but why do they have...

Gloom 101

Advantages: See review
Disadvantages: See review

...Room 101 has been drifting around on BBC2 now for several years. Originally presented by Nick Hancock, Paul Merton now introduces the half hour show, transmitted at different times of the week, after 9 p.m. The idea behind the show is very simple - each week a celebrity comes on with a list of five or six "things" they hate. They have to persuade Paul Merton that they are truly worthy of relegation to Room 101 - a fictional cutting-room in BBC Towers where things are never seen again. The show is a strange blend of chat and comedy, demonstrably directed by Paul Merton, and has attracted a considerable array of faces, generally from the world of comedy. So it any good? Actually, no it's not. Like any such programme, Room 101 relies heavily on its guests. If the nominator is a popular comedian, then the show is much more likely...

Review of BBC2: Room 101

Review 101

Advantages: This is my 101st review
Disadvantages: There's more to come I promise!

...I was going to write something special and awe inspiring for my 100th review. But lo and behold I missed it accidentally and ended up writing about a cable router (lets be honest, I was bored and interested in making a bit of money from ciao because I haven't in a while). However, this gave me another opportunity. Review 101. I could write about what I would put into room 101. So here are a few things I would put in there: --------------------- Cheese --------------------- Lets start with this. Actually, thinking about it, I like cheese on pizzas. But I'm happy to live without pizza if it means living without cheese. There's no need for cheese. Who invented it? Who discovered that if we let milk rot, it becomes edible? I mean to me it sounds stupid. Lets eat some mouldy stuff shall we. It's just the most pointless food ever...

room 101!

Advantages: feel much better to get it off my chest
Disadvantages: its not real

...chain and are needed so that other animals can live and there are 3,000 different species. But whatever anybody will say will not change my mind on how much I hate these creatures. The moment I see one, whatever the size of they are, the hairs on my arms stand up. The fact they run around with their long hairy legs freaks me out. I hate the look of them whatever the size. Just typing this is making me feel sick. If I ever find one the only thing I can do is get someone to get rid of it by taking it out of the house. Reading facts like spider bites can be very painful and even fatal makes me even more freaked out. But even though they do help with the food chain and all that I will still put them in room 101 and let Mother Nature to sort it out. People who abuse animals and children What kind of evil person can enjoy the pain...

101 adictee

Advantages: excellent selection
Disadvantages: waiting for your orders

...I got connected to the 'net in Spetember last year and for the first month or so didnt think it was worth the hassle of ordering goods from the web. But that was all about to change when a friend told me about 101CD. I first looked on the site and i was very impressed it seemed to stock well everything.....Cds, videos, books, DVDs, minidisks and more. I was more amazed with the selection that 101 offered particullary of CDs. not only did it offer all the more popular and common albums but the selection seemed almost infinite with rare versions and literally thousands of imports. Whats more the prices are without doubt the best ive found on the web and very cheap PandP, free with many items. Since discovering 101 i have used it as my no. 1 Cd shop having virtually given up on traditional high street stores as 101 is cheaper and more...

Review of 101CD

Room 101

Advantages: the world would be free'd from all annoyingness!!!
Disadvantages: never gonna happen....

...An easy subject for me, being easily wound up, here are a few of my choices for room 101 1. colds My first choice may seem a strange one, but i have had 4 colds in as many months, i think i am just passing the same one between my colleagues. Its really annoying, i have to take time of work, losing what little money i have, and get to spend all day in bed, and of course, being a man, i always have the worst cold there has ever been!! On the whole the country would function better without them, which brings me very nicely onto my next choice... 2. Politicians I understand that they have tough jobs, big decisions to make, stressfull times etc, but so do the fire service who they are so quick to slam when they strike, and the bin men who have to survive on the minimum wage to do quite an important job. These people are real...

101 Reasons...

Advantages: Huge range, good value, efficient, easy to use, good sales, secure.
Disadvantages: Poor logo??!! :-)

...I first came accross 101cd.com late last year when looking for the best price for a CD. I looked on WHSmith Online, HMV Online, BOL, Amazon, Streets Online, CD WOW! and 101cd.com. CD WOW! didn't have it because they have only a very limited selection of CDs. The others all had it but it had a delivery time of several weeks. However, 101cd.com had it with a 24 hour delivery time, with about £3 off the prices the other sites would have charged me. 101cd offers perhaps the largest range of CDs available from any online retailer, if you're looking for anything obscure give them a try. They also have loads of imports for the real music fanatic. I was also impressed with how many CDs were in their sale, at £5.99 sale and their £9.99 sale. I found that you can really save money. Most chart CDs are only £9.99 too. The site is clear to use...
