Room 101: Kearnan Myall – London Wasps lock
Any rugby player that has been on one of these will surely agree with me that pre-season Army camps are a waste of time.
A few years ago, when Stuart Lancaster was in charge of Leeds, we did a week’s Marine camp down in Lympstone, Devon.
It was the worst week of my life. Carrying logs on your shoulders through miles of mud, swimming through underwater tunnels and sleeping in the woods have no relevance to rugby and certainly do not make you a better player!
In all honesty I think I probably suffered the most at the camp. It was back in the days when I had long blonde hair and the PTs took an instant dislike to me which didn’t help.
I remember Leigh Hinton had one of the biggest blisters I’ve ever seen from running in army boots. I was actually quite jealous as it meant he missed the last day.
TRP verdict: You can quick march into Room 101.
2. Tomato ketchup
I’d imagine this will be an unpopular choice with the masses, but I absolutely hate the stuff because it is full of additives and sugar. Watching someone cover their plate of food with ketchup almost makes me sick.
Banishing it would encourage people to learn how to cook nice food that’s doesn’t need this artificial rubbish on it, and would therefore make everyone healthier!
TRP verdict: Tomato retch-up? I don’t think so. You’re out
3. Stupid pedestrians
In all my time up north I never encountered the phenomenon of stupid pedestrians.
But since moving down to London I come across them all of the time. I am amazed by the amount of pedestrians that will walk into the road without looking at the traffic and assume that you won’t run them over.
It’s impossible to drive anywhere at more than 20mph so it takes an age to get anywhere and dodging pedestrians adds stress to the simplest of journeys!
When you’re on foot stupid pedestrians are equally annoying, especially if they’re looking at their phone while texting. They stop or barge into you for no apparent reason and are completely oblivious to their ignorance.
TRP verdict: You’re on the right path again. Well done, that’s 2/3.
