Junk mail through the post and stupid pizza leaflets ect
The good company's don't need to do that to advertise , same ones every week and photos on leaflets no wonder need custom
You can't banish sprouts coz then I couldn't treat myself to sprout lasagne!
Can I banish period pain and stupid people who tell you that there are plenty of seats left for the cinema and not to waste money booking when actually you then turn up with 3 little people all excited to be told that they had sold out YESTERDAY MORNING!

Room 101 is too good for such people. There should be a special hell for them, to be shared with people who talk at the theatre. (Please let someone recognise the Firefly reference or I shall cry!)

ooooh Firefly?
Anyway, I can put people who open sweets with loud wrappers in the threate in with them too, it's not as bad as talking but I did sit through and entire Pirates of Penzance with me and my friend tempted to fling mini eggs at a woman with wrappers *rustles to release sweet from bag* *crinkles slowly and loudly to open *removes sweet* *inserts seet in mouth* *spends ages folding the crinkly wrapper neatly* *rustles wrapper back in bag* *Repeat until the interval or murder whichever comes first!*
And those people who TALK all the way through Children's shows/performances/assembiles etc.... I HATE them...

ooooh Firefly?
Did you really know the reference, or just read my white text? :P
Er, well, I did recognise it as a quote but didn't know where from, Firefly is on my list of things to watch! My list is looooooong! But Firefly is definitely on it (partly because Nathan Fillion (SP?) was fab in Dr Horrible) :-) (The list also includes Farscape too, as it's got Vala and Ben Browder and sling wearing in! And the last few series of Stargate Atlantis, and House from season, er, 5, or 6 one of the two, and Dexter, we're currently on Criminal Minds and all the dodgy tele that channel 4 have been putting on but Hismelf moans about me watching those)
Er, sorry completely o/t there!

I'll lend you the FF DVD box set if you like. Is the awesomest awesome thing ever. And should NEVER EVER be put into Room 101!
(Do you like how I kinda got back round to the topic neatly there?)
I'm very impressed and if FF is not on lovefilm then yes please (because if it is we can just get it from there you see and saves me remembering to give it back to you!) :-) *checks lovefilm* It's there, it's on the rental list now :-)

Adverts with models and celebs photoshopped thinner and blemish free and so perfect that it's impossible to be like that in real life (or even a lighter skin tone than they naturally are e.g. Beyonce): unhealthy role models or what? I don't mind the flattering lighting and the clever photography and the amazing make-up but anything done on a computer and therefore not achievable in real life should be BANNED.

It was more that the mind was boggling at the concept, lol. (But then that could be because I cannot stand sprouts, lol)
(I do however now fancy lasagne for dinner, but since I already promised a little person hot dogs, the lasagne will just have to wait, lol)
