I wouldn't call it rich and varied. More 'focussed and determined'. Or some other wanky American self development guru's phrase. You might get the impression I enjoy sports. I do. Otherwise I'd do something else.And what exactly is wrong with an "ad hominem" argument? Dodgy Agent, 16-5-2014 -

Quite.Originally posted by MaryPoppins View PostSee, this is why I like CUK. Any thread at all can be a vessel for promoting ones rich and varied lifestyle.
We had a 26" TV on the wall in the bedroom of the last house, I swapped it out for a 40" when we moved as the room was larger. Apparently now it's too big but she only tells me after I spent five hours last night fitting it to the wall....my quagmire of greed....my cesspit of laziness and unfairness....all I am doing is sticking two fingers up at nurses, doctors and other hard working employed professionals...

I definitely get that, you shoehorn it into enough threads.Originally posted by Mich the Tester View PostI wouldn't call it rich and varied. More 'focussed and determined'.

Practically perfect in every way....there's a time and (more importantly) a place for malarkey.

I had to give my old 47" TV to my parents when I moved into an apartment that was barely larger than a hamster cage. One of the drawbacks of contracting in areas where property is either thin on the ground or expensive up the ass.
Now I've moved to somewhere a bit more palacial, I can now swing two cats around if I desire, they won't give it back.
Had to buy a new 50" plasma.
Cheap as chips these days, so the chav comment may be right. I paid a quarter of the amount for the 50" as it cost for the 47". The prices have come down lots in the last 3 years or so.
HD is a con though. Many times I watch a blu-ray (rented or bought) and think that is not much better than the DVD upscaled, due to either poor quality master or piss poor transfer by the studio. I'm well aware the first few editions are crap so they can eventually do an 'Ultimate' edition that is how the first edition should have looked. See LOTR Extended Edition quality over theatrical release quality for a prime example. Both are on blu-ray so should be identical apart from the extra footage in the EE edition. The EE version is ~50 quid with the TR version ~15. Con merchants the lot of them.
