The Post Room 101
Created | Updated Aug 26, 2004
'Everyone knows it. The thing that is in Room 101 is the worst thing in the
world.'
- '1984' by George Orwell
Post Room 101 is the place where all the bad things are stored here at the Post Office, and
now we are going to give you the chance to place your three 'worst things in the world' in there as
well. All you have to do is send me a list of your three least favourite things and the reasons why
they are. Your things will then be placed up for a public vote by your fellow Post Readers. If the
Post Readers agree with you, your things will then be placed in Post Room 101 and the door locked,
if not, they will remain in the world and you will just have to put up with it!!
Send me your list of three things and the reason for each to me at [email protected] and please
remember to include your h2g2 Researcher name and 'U' number so I know who you are. I will then shortly be in touch with you if I need more information or I have any queries.
If you prefer we can discuss the things you would like in Post Room 101 via a conversation on
h2g2, though of course these would not be private, but it may be something you would prefer doing.
If this is the case please leave a message at The Post
Room 101 Message Service on the Post Office homepage.

Last week Pinniped
submitted Opera, Beer in the fridge and Salesmen for you to vote on. The debating was brisk and thoughtful, with Beer in the Fridge firmly being kept out. Both Opera and Salesmen however were given their marching orders, and headed straight into Post Room 101. The voting on this list of three things is now closed, thank you for your participation.

POST ROOM 101 NEEDS YOUR HELP!
Our fourth submission for Post Room 101 comes from LLL Waz, and here is her list of three things she would like you
to vote on to go into Post Room 101.
- The necessity to vacuum/hoover.
The time could be so much better spent. - Tea.
I drank tea for thirty years without questioning it. The idea of not taking tea was too absurd to consider. Until I met a very brave man who confessed, in company, to being allergic to it. All the lights on Damascus Rd. lit up - *that’s* why I always felt vaguely ill after drinking tea. Since realising this and confessing in my turn, someone else, a tea drinker of 60 years, has owned up to having to eat something when they drink tea in order not to feel ill. The ball is rolling. Speak up anti-teas. Come out of the closet and help to dump the stuff in Post Room 101. - King Lear.
Appalling man.
Now it's up to you readers, if you agree with LLL Waz that her things should go into Post Room
101 with the other 'worst thing's in the world' then vote in a conversation below. Similarly
if you don't agree then tell us why also in a conversation below. The votes will be tallied and if the
yays get more votes than the nays then LLWaz's things will be placed in Post Room 101 and
locked away forever.
Items/things put forward have automatically one vote for them and if the voting
is tied I will have the casting vote.
Voting closes at midnight GMT on Tuesday 31st August.
