Ludicrous lists


Jeremy Clarkson
People wearing blazers and jeans

Room 101

Maureen from Burnley sent in, er, seven things she'd like to see in Room 101...


1. People who end each sentence in a questioning manner.

2. Any man (over 40) with a pony tail.

3. Overweight people showing their tummies.

4. Anyone using "literally" when not needed (very bad grammar in general).

5. Tabloids substituting English terminology for Americanisms (ie. Cops - police).

6. Old peoples' total disregard for anyone other than themselves yet call any younger generation (totally ignorant).

7. People wearing blazers and jeans
