    Can't fit a 42" TV, and an old lady, and the wife in a A160 together, plus Michelle is not enamoured of the idea of parking a new TV in a hospital car park. Can't say I blame her really... :laugh:

    Did I miss something or are the two of you (Griff & Dave) sharing more than some time on CP ? Or is it me who erroneously thinks to remember that the name of Dave's wife is Michelle as well and just made a fool of myself once again ?

                          Our 42" plasma failed last night - picture problems - so I broke out the spare, a 22" tube jobby I used to used for my Xbox360. My word but it's small. You feel like you need binoculars to watch it... So, the wife suggests that we go and buy one then and there. Ok, ok, off we go to Swansea (only 30 minutes away), at eight o'clock in the evening. Bank holiday Monday evening, to be precise. Is anything open? Is it heck - even the 24 hour Tesco Extra is shut. Should have thought of that really... :doh: So now, I have to go to Swansea twice today - once to visit (or hopefully collect and return home) an old lady from hospital, and then again to buy a new TV. Joy - I'm going to get nothing done today, and it's going to cost me money as well! :mad:

                                    Was round my sisters at the weekend, they have a 55" 3DTV. Plus a really good full surround sound system. That's a seriously amazing setup, was a bit crap going home to my kit. :(

                                        Accept no substitutes! The Position of the Goat and the Rubber Sink Plunger does not work with any other species. Do not try this at home, all positions are demonstrated by trained professionals. Amateurs attempting these are recommended to seek medical clearance first, as death, serious injury and/or pregnancy may occur in either party.

                                          Especially with Sister Hyde[^] - I wonder if it was possible for them to do it with themselves?
