    What modern day invention would you like to cast into room 101, never to be used again by anyone ever again?

    I'd like to un-invent football, alcopops, the 5 day working week, ballot boxes, cigarettes (not tobacco though), guns, mopeds, plastic cartons and "two-in-one" hot and cold taps that run scalding hot water on the one side and cold on the other causing you to burn your left hand.

    And that's just for starters!

    If anyone dares to call me a luddite then I'll hit you on the head with a stick and throw a small stone at you.

    Ties...the bow and regular variety.

    Minivans. Money. Reality television.

    I'd like to un-invent mobile phones.

    Why should we feel the need to be constantly contactable?

    agreed on all points. I'm going to add "sin" to the mix. the whole concept, that is, not the actual "sinning." I love sinning.

    I would un-invent instant coffee. If people want to sell/buy coffee, it should be real coffee, not that fucking powdered abomination in a jar.

    I laugh at you, but not because you don't have a mobile phone.

    Your shoes are what do it for me.

    Away with the television; the only television I partake in is the blaring from my neighbors set. I'm pretty addicted to the web and cell phone, though. Can't really be without them, sad to say.

    Cheers

    wet look hair gel
    and irons

    If there were no such thing as irons, nobody would expect your shirts to be uncreased. Oh, what a perfect world.

    I don't own an iron, if my clothes are wrinkled I throw it in the dryer or just wear it...

    Haha, wet look hair gel, haha, touche! lipstick, I can't stand lipstick.. people who wear lipstick a lot (sorry, don't be mad) it drains the color from their lips...

    You really don't own an iron? Nor a phone?

    Are you married yet?

    I think I would have to say the brazier. I feel it's quiet unnecessary and a waste on money, but "society" tried to make you feel obligated, or you're repulsive.

    I had to step off the sidewalk with my son the other day to avoid being walked into by a 20-something couple who were BOTH talking on cell phones as they walked together down the street...it's a beautiful thing when you can spend quality time together AND ignore each other all at the same time...

    I was in disbelief...
