    Choose three things you would like to put in Room 101

    1) Free paper we get every Thursday there's never anything in it. Damn thing goes straight in the recycling bin.
    2) People who dont turn phones off when they are out for a meal. I dont want to listen to consersation also lads who dont take baseball caps off at meals. Really pees me off.
    3) People who let their dog walk beside a road off the leash.

    People who mouth off but are not prepared to listen to the other side

    Afraid the baseball cap is part of the uniform of the day, I don't think they ever get taken off.

    1. Accident Claims and PPI fo shizzle. My brother got one of the former yesterday. The conversation went thus (with me advising him)...
    Them: "Hello, we understand you've been in a car accident recently"
    Him: "Yes... it was horrific"
    Them (noticeably gleeful for someone talking to the survivor of a horrific crash): "How many people were injured?"
    Him: "16..."
    Them (starting to count the healthy commission already): "Wow, let me write this down... 16? What kind of car were you in?"
    Him: "A Bus"
    Them: "Where did the damage occur? Front, rear, side?"
    Him: "EVERYWHERE. It was horrible."
    Them: "and were you one of the passengers on the bus?"
    Him: "No... I was driving it"
    <at this point we started laughing so visibly we had to drop the phone for a few seconds>
    Them: "Are you ok?"
    Him (crying with laughter): "...I'm sorry... I'm just a bit emotional..."
    <My brother hung up at this point because he couldn't stop laughing>

    For the last PPI call...
    Them: "Hello, is that Richard?"
    Him (not called Richard): "Sure is"
    Them: "We'd like to discuss your PPI claim"
    Him: "What's PPI?"
    Them: "Payment Protection Insurance, it was unlawfully sold in Britain a couple of years ago and we're recovering that money for clients. We'd like to process your claim."
    Him: "Oh... I love payment protection insurance... Why would I make a payment without wanting some guarantee that the other company gets my money ok? Well worth it. Best investment I ever made"
    Them: "But you were wrongly miss-sold it based on the fact you didn't need it"
    Him: "...But I insisted on it"
    Them: "Why?"
    Him: "I don't know Richard, maybe because I'm smart"
    Them: "I'm not called Richard, and we can get you loads of money back"
    Him: "Yeah you are, you said right at the beginning that you're Richard... What have you done with Richard you *******?!?!?!?!?! RICHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD!!!!!!!!!!!!"
    <They hung up>

    2. People who use "fo shizzle"
    3. My degree. It'd be as much good in 101 as it would in my possession. Higher education is a crock of ****.

    But how would you have been able to write such fantastic articles and comments if you hadn't gone on for higher education and got your degree?

    I actually learned more about debating, structuring writing and spelling on BBC 606 and Not606, to be honest. No matter how much of an arse an academic is, they will never EVER blatantly believe something so obviously untrue against overwhelming evidence to the contrary, that you might as well be pissing in the wind as conversing, or sign off on a heated debate by going "you spelled that wrong, jackass" and walking away knowing they've retained the moral high ground. You cannot possibly win on an internet forum, unless the other person concedes, and that has never happened! That inner-hardness and inability to relent made for a fearsome opponent in class.

    I might as well have tripled my post count on here, instead of wasted my time in the library with some of the thickest people I've ever met (genuinely. My father left school with barely any qualifications. He's so much more intelligent than some of the people that were in my classes it's ridiculous. Yet they can't fail, no matter what crap they hand in, because it will make the department look bad to give out poor marks, and their funding will be cut). I'm sorry, but Higher Education should have some boundaries, and if you can't hold a normal conversation without becoming lost immediately, you shouldn't be at University. Yet due to rampant greed and disgusting government policy, that's what's happening, leaving many thousands of graduates with a pointless piece of paper that might as well be shredded, because the smart people left school early and got some flipping work experience and they're the ones in permanent positions.

    Ill keep mine short..

    1. People who put pictures on Facebook / twitter of their newly born babies every move... I REALLY COULD NOT GIVE A F***!
    2. The PPI calls mentioned by others already are the bain of my existence.
    3. People who find it necessary to pretty much wheelspin to pull out in front of me and then start to drive 20mph..

    4. Kids who try and talk Jamaican or use terms like "blud, fam, merc, cuz" etc

    I'm afraid your bill for the last six months on not606 has come through. It's exactly £1,000.00 which you can pay to me and I'll forward it on to the authorities.

    That doesn't include the administration fee of £2,500 which you can also pay to me.
