The FRA Room 101

[paulc]

If Joey is reading this, can I ask for his argument about Kuwait. I just need to point out that Ive never been to to Kuwait, and Ive never heard of it until now.

[joey_picus]

Itll have to be tomorrow, sorry - I actually forgot about this and writing in general tonight _

If I start to hold up the show or anything, feel free to have somebody else go before me, if theyre ready.

[paulc]

If youre on the forum today Joey, please send in your argument f0r Kuwait.

But can I ask why you chose Kuwait - it states in your profile that at the moment you live there.

And actually, given I may not know the majority of the things you chose (and I ask this all future people who sign-up) to give a list of the things youve chosen so I can find out more about them.

[joey_picus]

I chose it because it is a country of extreme incomprehensibleness and bizarreness...and I can vouch for that having lived here for four years :P Every time I come over here it takes my body a week to adjust to the time difference, normally by several insomniac nights staring at the computer screen. There is nothing to do here, at all, outside of school, shopping and being on the internet all day, and I dislike shopping, which goes some way to explaining why I am so incurably sad The shopping areas mostly contain clothes shops and fast food places, and I avoid the former and sometimes like to order the latter according to how good their fries are. School is...well, school, you can imagine how it is.

The people over here drive like absolute maniacs, they have (AFAIK) about the same number of people dying each year from traffic accidents as in the UK, however since Kuwait only has 2.something million people it works out as a lot more. Theres flagrant disregard for other road users, frequent crashes, annoying teenagers yelling at people from the cars and during elections the candidates posters reduce road visibility to about ten inches, its that bad. The chocolate here sucks (I think they have to put something in it to stop it from melting), the heat combined with the air conditionings odd opinions on what kind of uncomfortable temperature you would like to suffer at makes you rather annoyed and sticky after a while, and although there are good aspects about it (a few of the people are nice, and at least the weather is reliable), I think it should be cast into Room 102, and then have a hole drilled in the wall for it to move to Room 101.

I have no idea if thats around 300 words or not, but it should do...my other things are, in no particular order:
Hamburgers
A level Chemistry
Gangsta rap
Disney princess films
Desserts in inflight food trays
Small children

[paulc]

No Joey - thats an extremely good argument. In the real Room 101, its unlikely for the first item you pick to go in, but Kuwait sounds an extreme good choice.

ITS GOING IN!

1 down, 6 to go for Joey.

His next choice is food substance, a food substance loved by the majority of the nation, but hated by him. And by me.

Hamburgers

Id first like to tell Joey that I hate Hamburgers as well. But lets here your arguement.

[joey_picus]

Right...

I honestly cannot understand why hamburgers are so popular. Granted, Im a bit of a picky eater, and the idea of eating something full of lots of different squirmy things, some of which I have no idea what they are, doesnt exactly appeal to me, but it does seem that somebody came up with the least healthy thing ever and then attempted to rectify that by overloading it with green stuff. I dislike mayonnaise, tomatoes, cucumbers, and just about everything that they do put on it, and even with those taken out it just tastes bland, and seems like a waste of money.

*goes into SUPER-TV-INFORMERCIAL-MAN mode* I do not like trimmings, I do not like unnecessary sauce, I do not like being fed gristly meat, and I do not like to buy hamburgers when I could just go to KFC and get a better meal for less money.

Therefore, it should go in (I know its not that good of an argument, but this was my space-filler topic :P)

[paulc]

It IS much of an argument, my problem with Hamburgers as well as the sauce, and it was a complete waste of food. So no doubt what happens...

ITS GOING IN!

Very good Joey - 2 out of 2.

Your next choice is part of a compulsery GCSE grade in order to make in life. Some have made it far with this piece of info, but your hated subject is...

A Level Chemistry

A level chemistry...riiiight. Due to my school thinking the rate at which you are supposed to take the exams is too slow, I have already experienced the joys of this in year 11, and despite doing very well in GCSE chemistry I failed miserably, largely down to my crazy teacher who somehow felt compelled to avoid teaching us what was in the book, so we cold look back at it for reference, and rather teach something else that nobody except him understood and may not have even been related to the topic. The subject itself is also incredibly confusing, as my textbooks and the exam syllabus were saying completely different things about the same topic, while my teachers Notes Of All-Consuming Goodness were indecipherable, as hed handwritten them, and contradicted the exam requirements...it also seems that trying to cram a year long course into six months is not a good idea since the bits that help you to understand it are the ones that get missed, and half the people in my class were hiring tutors just to try and get a passing grade...all of which combined compels me to save the lives of schoolpeople nationwide and deposit the dreaded subject in the room.

[paulc]

Well...Joey - I afriad I quite enjoy Chemistry lessons, mostly becuase I have a good teacher called Mr. Plowman who often makes lessons cool and lets us do experiments. However, me and my sister have the same teacher for Biology called Miss Craig, and she is useless:

Shell give us homework to finish in our books then take in our books and give us detentions because we couldnt complete our homework.

Shell give you the answers to questions and they turn out to be wrong.

And she also makes the lessons quite dull. For these reasons Joey - A Level Chemistry cant go in.

Sorry.

Next up in a musical genre which has been assossiated with homophobia, violence, profanity, promiscuity, misogyny, gang rapes, drive-by shootings, vandalism, thievery, drug use, racism, and materialism. Its to me and you its a hateful thing.

Gangsta Rap

[leorcc]

now Ill be watching the next one with interest.
