Room 101 (like the TV prog)

So sorry to hear you suffered the same ignominy, Solveig's song is a beautiful piece of music, a bit maudlin but beautiful stupid man, perhaps we could put both together in a corner with the loop playing both pieces of music, serve them right.

That's exactly my point - it was Jean's favourite which is why we chose it, just as Dora the Explorer was chosen as it was relevant . It's got nowt to do with the person who conducts the sevice (Tho I imagine "Smack me b*tch up" or "I am the god of hell fire " by J Arthur Brown may be frowned on (Actually, I really like that one ...memo to me, add it to my living will that it should be played as the curtains come around ... )

But I digress... yes, in they go. Continual loop of both songs and up to the chin in liquid evil

Thank you, made me laugh, salve for the pain. thank you.
 
Along with cold callers I nominate RSPCA calls, husband was talked into donating £6 a month now he forever gets calls asking him to increase the amount. How about £20 - no thanks, Well could you manage 15? No. Well how about 10? If he's not here they ask to speak to him and I say he's out but they can talk to me. No they can't because it's his name on the direct debit. So I say it's a joint account and I can just as easily cancel the direct debit because I object to their lefty politics and their bosses getting 3 figure salaries. Funnily enough they hang up then. Ho Hum!
 
Whilst I agree to the calls, I'd have to say that not all the RSPCA people are like their bosses, the ones I know personally are dedicated to their jobs and do everything in their power to make a difference in the lives of our unfortunate furry/feathered friends.
 
Thanks!

I'm still adjusting to the cup size.

By the way - don't you dare change your avatar. I should have included it in the Perfect list. Because it is.
So, you are saying @satindoll is really a strange cross eyed green creature wearing big purple slippers and you are the image of that Jessica Rabbit?
 
Pre-dictive text on my phone should go in!

I am fed up of altering words that I haven't typed. I can't turn it off! Bloody iPhones!

How dare they? Just how dare they?
If there is a god that they believe in then our version of 101 will seem like a holiday.
 
Any charity that pays huge salary to bosses, whilst grateful supporters stand in all weathers shaking collection boxes outside supermarkets.

Add to that the charities I have given to in the past that then put me on the database and send regular begging letters that in the long term cost more than the original donation.
 
Oh I am on a roll now! The charities that catch elderly vulnerable people unawares, get them to sign up for direct debits, then when their caring relatives notice they are paying out half their monthly income and cancel, send the poor oldie letters with pictures of sad looking pups saying such things as "sorry you are not our friend anymore".
 
Just found the words in Norwegian. Several references to God! Complete prat!
 
I would write a letter of complaint to his bishop.
 
We did complain to the crem , as he was a stand in for the usual guy, they said they would not use him again.

Exactly so! The whole last verses are about God! Perhaps he was thinking of "Hall of the mountain king" AKA the Troll Dance Which is a pretty cool piece of music too

I like it too, as you say it's cool
 

Yes they do a great job,been watching the CH5 series the Dog Rescuers over the last few weeks which follows the good work the RSPCA do in rescuing dogs that are being mistreated and neglected, some of the treatment that these dogs receive at the hands of their owners is truly awful.

However I do agree with Chris also, they should be happy that they already donate £6 to the charity and leave it at that, it's this type of cold-calling that can put people off donating to a worthy cause.
 

I agree, and as a fosterer for the RSPCA's Pet Retreat Scheme I wish to thank the generous people who through their donations make it possible for people like me to help the pets of the unfortunate people who have to go into hospital/care/sheltered housing/battered wives homes till they are ready and able to have their beloved pets home again.
 
Maybe we should have a Room 010 (NOT like the TV prog) thread - for all the great things we want to praise.

Anyone want to start it?
