Same kind of gig as Gervais did with Extras but not as good .

I vote Ricky Gervais for Room 101.

He's not funny, he's David Brent in real life, he wasn't acting. He thinks he's funnier than he is and tries really very, very hard to be funny.

I mostly agree with you on this, it's the people he works with that are the clever ones. Have you ever seen "An Idiot Abroad" ?

It is fake news spread by rightwing online community and a Trump campaign official. It's even got a name: Pizzagate

Katie Hopkins.

Yes I do agree with some of what she says and thinks her blunt non-PC way of getting a message across is ok.

But I disagree with her when she says celebs shouldn't be commenting on politics.

Open to vote on this - in or out of 101?
I can't abide James Cordon so I vote him in to Room 101.

May I add people who refuse to take advice from those who actually know a subject instead preferring to believe something that fits their own agenda?

The room would have to be big enough to accommodate 7.4 billion people (minus one - me, of course )

People who don't see that alcohol, is the cause of, and the solution of, all of life's problems.

Can we throw all the banks in too Scampy? They control our lives more than any government, and, if you've read 1984, then surely the banks should be the first ones in.

But most it's shit. So straight in.
Nope, total shit. Pointless personal squabbling, nothing to do with the actual business itself. If they try to drag me in I'm going to tell them in no uncertain terms to stop acting like *****ing children and to leave me alone. I'm also certain that'll go down really well

An Idiot Abroad is funny, but not because of Gervais. In fact the bits where he rings or at the start / end when he's involved are not funny, because he tries SO hard to be funny.

Straight in. Horrid, horrid woman. Nasty.

2-2 for Corden I believe now?

Second bit - straight in.
Add to it - those who listen to your advice, tell you that you're wrong and then tell you what's correct is something you know to be completely wrong.

100% Yes. Combined with their smug arrogance.

Sounds awful. Maybe you should get involved, stir it up a bit and cause some chaos?

I'm handing in my notice in a couple of weeks, so after then I'll happily give my opinion on it all


Has anyone suggested people at the gym who don't rerack their weights? Or just stick them in the completely wrong place on the rack? My gym is really great other than that, but nothing is EVER in the right place...

Yep. That's straight in. Even though I barely enter the gym anymore it used to drive me nuts. *****.
