Seeing as we Heaveners like to occupy ourselves with a good A-Z compilation, welcome one and all to... County Heaven’s Indexed Vault of Evil
Or ‘C.H.I.V.E’.
Essentially, this will be a bit like the irrational dislikes thread, but in a format similar to the popular TV show ‘Room 101’ and will hopefully raise a few laughs. As ever, we will start at Week A and work our way through to Week Z over a period of 26 weeks (with possibly a few breaks here and there). Each letter will have been allocated in advance, and at random, to an individual Heavener. When it’s your week, you will then have to try and persuade the rest of us to place one of three things into our Vault of Evil.
You can suggest any three things, so long as they begin with that letter. For example, if I was given Week Q, I would almost certainly try to persuade Heaveners to place one of the following into the vault: Queen (the band, not the monarch), Quebec (damn French-speaking Canadians) and Quinoa (which should be pronounced Quin-noah, not Keen-wah, as far as I’m concerned).
Once the thread has been opened and a case made for each suggestion, I’ll open a poll so the remaining Heaveners can vote on what goes into our vault.
For obvious reasons, it’d be nice to get 26 Heaveners taking part, but I suspect we’re more likely to get 13 people with two letters each. If we get to 12 and no further, I’ll join in.
If you’d like to take part, please respond to this thread to register your interest. I’d like to try and start C.H.I.V.E. on Monday, if possible, so I’ll leave registration open until Friday, then announce who will be doing each week.
Lastly, I’d like to give credit to Gazza for suggesting the basis/format for this latest index (unfortunately the daft name was my doing!)
So, who’s interested then?

i think there's a few on here who can both calmly deconstruct, but also let mild irritation give way to unnecessary rage; so i'm looking forward to reading too!

I make that 9 so far, including myself, so if we can get 4 more by Friday I'll give everyone two letters each.
This will only really work if the 3 choices each week are posted on the Monday morning so that I can open the poll. With that in mind, would people prefer to send me their choices and explanations in advance, so I can cut and paste it into the thread on the Monday morning for them?

Sounds great, Sandy - provided that it doesn't put you to too much trouble!

Sounds like a good idea to me too, Sandy, as long as it isn't going to cause you too much hassle.
