Pff - googled it? its been in the top 10 on bash since I were a boy ... I still remember when they removed the bottom 100 quotes link from the main page - although you can still find them

I liked the messy desk/office competition. We should run that on CUK

nice quote from bash.org in your sig as well

10 points for noticing that (though I'll have to deduct 9.5 if you googled it)

That's bench talk! I want a Bose system that incorporates technology from the NASA space station and which I can control with my mind. Well worth £30,000 IMO.

It doesnt cost much to set up a half decent home cinema - you can get an AV amp for £100-200 and a speaker package for another £200-400.

You can always spend more but diminishing returns kick in at some point.
I've just had an old Denon amp driving two Tannoy speakers for years - its perfectly good for movies / music / Xbox / media player.

They don't.

Because I can afford the luxury dear boy.

BTW: I can have the volume as loud as I like. I also have a set of virtual surround sound head phones that work incredibly well too.

Why do most blokes insist on spending lots of money on home cinema systems even though in many cases they can't even put the volume up to do it justice, nor do they spend enough time watching it to justify the enormous cost.

Same reason we spend lots on a nice car even though we can't put our foot down in most cases. Because we can.

Can you buy a standard TV these days?? I thought they all had stereo sound etc built in now.
