Tuesday 20th September - room 101

[irwcustom]

Sandwiches - Cheese and home grown tomatoes - it's turned so cold, the damn things won't go red!

We have a TV show in our British Isles hosted by Paul Merton in which he invites a celebrity to choose 3 of their pet hates. The clebrities put their cases for each of their choices and usually bring something along to represent their pet hates.

Please post your suggestions for this BAM version of room 101. As thread starter and hence host, I will decide if your choice should go into room 101.
PASSWORDS!

I have a pin number for my cards - no problem with that as I can change it at the hole in the wall. A few other programable 4 digit ones ..easy. Some websites have a minimum of 5 characters. Some have 8 that kind of thing ..so you end up with loads of those. Then there is a log on at work. This I had to chane AGAIN today just to get my pc to work. this happens once every 6 weeks. Then we have an MRP type system ..that changes every 10 weeks ...another password. Then there is internet banking. that requires something else. Paypal another few extra characters. Passwords for all the machines at work 5 digit code for those 30 machines. Then there is a service level code - 8 digits. Credit card application today ..had to confirm myself by ID and you've guessed it - the password I set up over 6 months ago because they lost my application ...yes I forgot it. Asked if it was a 4 or 6 digit number - they said they weren't allowed to say. Telephone banking - nice to see that your money is safe ..but again ..was it my 4,6,8,10 ...252 digit version. What a wind up!

Passwords:mad: .... they're going fairly and squarely into room 101!!

Sausages, beans and mash with the grandchildren and my daughter's big dog.

Passwords, necessary evil I'm afraid with all the thieving scumbags in this world, so I would disagree with your choice Darren.

Tip on how to remember. Join the military, say the RAF, and you get a service no, that is 7 or 8 digits long. You never forget your service no, so, make your passwords a combination of the 7/8 numbers. Easy, drastic, but easy.

BMW & MPV Drivers
Easily my choice.

You are in your nice family car, sauntering along about 75-80, in the overtaking lane to pass one of the 1000 foot lorries that seem to be on our roads, which decides to overtake another 997 foot lorry on a 1 in 10 hill.

As you try to overtake and not exceed the speed limit by too much, up will pop a BMW or MPV going at 3 light years per second flashing his lights at you. He, and I say He because to be honest 99.99789% of them are male, will drive up to your rear bumper and gesticulate in a funny way.

Like all solid citizens I would brake test them. This seems to throw them into a real frenzy and you see their eyes and face bulge, almost like that chap who used to turn green in some TV series and his shirt would pop off.

Anyway, when you finally overtake the lorry and pull into one of the inner lanes, the BMW or MPV driver will drive alongside you and wind their passenger window down and shout at you. I smile and this sends them into a real rage. I then wave goodbye to them, in a sort of two fingered fashion and hope they don't try to follow me.

My choice, as a Ford Mondeo driver is BMW & MPV drivers










Now when I had my 5 series company car..............

BMW & MPV drivers
Their IN!! MPV's especially ..horrible great busses ...at todays fuel prices (which have gone down a bit btw) and enviromental concerns for the planet and future generations. BMW drivers - and Volvos if I may add. It's the changing passwords every 6 weeks that really get my goat.
