Here’s what I would put into Room 101…
Marzipan My first selection for Room 101 has to be marzipan! I’m sure lots of people love marzipan and find it an absolute delicacy, but I absolutely cannot understand why anyone would want marzipan anywhere near their taste buds! Perfectly good, indeed, wonderfully tasting cakes can still be produced without the requirement for marzipan and therefore I see why nobody should object to condemning marzipan to Room 101 Mike Gattin My second choice is probably someone that a lot of the younger readers won’t even know but the time has come to condemn the former England cricket captain Mike Gatting to Room 101! Whilst ‘Gatt’ had long retired before my cricket obsession began, our paths did cross in the early 2000’s at Hertfordshire County Cricket Trials. Gatting was one of the coaches there that day and rudely interrupted the start of our game to quiz me about where I should be looking to play the ball at the start of the innings. None of my answers satisfied the lunch-destroyer and so he proceeded to try and embarrass me in front of the other team. Mike Gatting has to go into Room 101. Robbie Willia s The third thing I feel compelled to send to Room 101 is ‘Robbie Williams’ treatment of Gary Barlow following Take That and until his career nose-dived after Take That reformed’. Don’t get me wrong, Robbie Williams did some great work following the Take That split, and his first three solo albums were pretty good. However, his attitude towards Gary Barlow still irks me to this day. Robbie dragged his name through the mud until, surprise surprise, his success started to dip and guess who came crawling back to Take That! Yep, Robbie wanted to ride their coattails once again! Gary, you should never have taken him back!
Now it’s your turn! Do you want to banish your top peeve or worst nightmare to the depths of Room 101?
