    I remember staying at this place in Nordwijk: Palace Hotel Noordwijk aan Zee with my boss from the USA (he was in another room of course) and in the morning he was complaining that for such a posh hotel, there was no television. I suggested that he press the button by the side of the bed and he'll see the television slowly rise up and out at the end of the bed. I thought that was quite impressive.

    No you are right... I don't mind TV;s in bedrooms and it is still hideous.

    Woah, I feel for you About 3 years ago I got one on my cheek which got rather large and the doctor just basically popped it at the time but it still left a hard lump. It flared up again last week and the doctor gave me some cream (basically bitumen based) to draw the tulip out. This week it got to about the size of half a ping pong ball and eventually on Tuesday started to weep and slowly a rather sour pong was emanating from my cheek. When I took the plaster off back at the hotel a whole load of tulip poured out and has basically continued to do so. Back to the doctor tomorrow who will do the business hopefully, either cut it out or get all that pale custard like gunk out.

    Shame Spacecadet, I am genuinely interested. We have, in the new house, a room large enough to convert to a cinema room, and that would be ideal.
    Darn I was looking forward to calling you 'Buster G', good luck, swollen love spuds sound painful.

    Proper contractors fitted projectors and screens which hide away in the ceiling when not in use.

    I upgraded my projector to a 4K one last year

Seems a no brainer to me. Just need a quick close option for when the kids burst in while you are viewing porn... and a cubby hole for SC's candle and tissues.
