The FRA Room 101

You may have seen the BBC 2 television series Room 101, hosted orginally by Nick Hancock, and then by Paul Merton, as 87 guest appeared on it discussing their least favourite things ever.

What Im asking is for at least 9 people to pick at the most 12 things and the least 7.
They can range to every medium, such as:

Television Programs
Books
Films
People
Countries
Animals

and many more.

Tell me who/want youve chosen, and then post a paragraph 500 words in length about it. If youve argued your case well enough, itll go in, if you dont argue it well enough, itll stay out. As extras, if you get more than 5 in if you pick 12 and 3 if you pick 7, I will give you a bonus choice from the ones Ive rejected to go in, and if you get them all in, then you can give an item immunity from the room.

So sign up, and get ready to rant! :proud:

500 words may be a bit much, methinks...good idea though, consider me interested.

Im signing up, but I need a lil time to get some good rants going.

Given that I have Joey and Frank already signed-up, Ill start with Joey and and then go for Frank whislt I wait for other people to sign-up - I need 7 more.

Frank, for this time, just pick a number of things between 12 or 7 items.

Im now reducing the argument to a maximum of 350 words and minimum of 300.

But first up we have our first guest - please welcome, writer, vapourboteer and finallist in E.O.T.R 4 with his team of vapourbots, its...

JOEY McCONNELL!

First up though, I need to ask Joey how many things hes picked and how long it took him to pick them.

I have picked seven things, and it took me about ten minutes, although I left a reserve space in case I thought of something else. :proud: I would have chosen more, but I didnt think I could write a coherent argument about them without ranting.

Do we have to say what our things are now, or does that come as we argue for them?

You state youjr items in order of which you chose them. You state each one when I say something like your first choice is... or something like that. After youve sent in the name of your item, Ill then ask you why you hate it, and then Ill decide if its a good enough argument to be consigned into Room 101.

So Joey - your first choice is...

My first choice is Kuwait, and I am fully aware of the reality-warping possibilities should it be accepted into the room. :proud:

(am typing this from school, so youll probably have to wait till this evening for my actual argument)

Can I ask WHY youre at school...on a Sunday...on the Easter break?

And can I also ask why you dislike the country of Kuwait?

The weekend and calendar are totally different over here, its confusing :P and many reasons, Ill get into that when I post my rant...uh, argument.

(nice stuff Paul :))
