Oh the "other dog" is a cat, and one of the cats is your arm.

There was yet another cat on the sofa but it was sleeping on Mrs M; the real other dog sleeps in an old armchair and doesn't sleep on the sofa

Have you finally taken the plunge? Good for you

Well I haven't worked for 2 months, so I suppose you could say I've taken the plunge. Great ain't it

 

[potsy]

Absolutely.....I also love the idea that @potsy, @User and @TVC are paying for me to have fun

Not me, I'm strictly cash in hand

 

[potsy]

Colour, you will be surprised to know. I don't think I will ask you to help me choose a new one.





Yes, the usual, "unplug it, wait ten minutes, and plug it in again" did not work.

Then I changed the batteries in the remote control, and the tv sort of made a funny noise and there was a bright flash of light. That was either the tube starting up or switching off. The tv is um..er... about sixteen years old.

So, I tried again ten minutes later, and whoosh, there it is working again. In time for the start of "Endeavour".

Did you try turning the starting crank?

 

[potsy]

Anyway we know she's making it up, remote controls didn't exist in those days.

And if they did they would be attached by a cable not battery powered.

 

[TVC]

You should try it, it's great!

You're not helping.

And I suppose in a couple of days all we'll get from Wimpers is "I retire this year....."

 

[Speicher]

I have been reading the John Lewis buyer's guide for tvs which is very helpful, just in case this one stops working completely.

Does anyone have a television with a curved screen?

 

[tyred]

I hate setting up canti brakes

 

[potsy]

Last time I had a TV stop working, and took it to the tip, when I asked where to put it the person asked me whether or not it was working. Apparently lots of people scrap working TVs if they want a better one.

We gave our last one to the charity shop.

I do have to get rid of my Mum's old one yet, it's a 28" huge monstrosity, not sure if it'll even fit in my car..

 

[Lullabelle]

My first wasgij is complete, 2 more to do

 

[TVC]

You can get a cream from your pharmacist for that....

I did help her with it.

 

[potsy]

I suppose for a hobbit anything that is 28” is ginormous- but it’s not really a ‘huge monstrosity’ in terms of TVs and normal people...

It's not the length that's the problem it's the girth

 

[potsy]

Alarms turned back on..

 

[potsy]

So... when can I pop up to Wilmslow?

I see you've been making friends again

 

[potsy]

Anyone see the score?

Well I know where one vote went
