Happy days, it needs to go on the wall though, that board looks like it's struggling under the weight, you don't want to wake up in the night to a crashing sound.

We want it on the ground, so we can swing it to the right about 10' to make the viewing angle perfect when the guys come round Sundays for MotoGP

Need a huge cabinet I can fit some wheels to.

You can get wall mounts that will pivot.

Will the mount work on sliding glass doors ?

Should be able to - as long as you use the right drill bits and fixings.

We bought a fancy TV cabinet, then when the delivery blokes came with the new TV only the maid was in and she told them to fix it to the wall

It is actually better though so I wasn’t too bothered. The fancy cabinet went in the snug.

I thought they fixed the fancy cabinet to the wall

I just stood on a piece the same in the garden and it withstood 14 stone of Yorickshire gorgeousness

Just got a bargain on a telly

Been looking for a 75" telly for a while, but my anxiety always kicks in and I can't choose. Had a few helpful staff showing proper stuff on the screen instead of the built-in demo stuff, but some didn't even seem as good as our 3 year old 55" Philips.

They're all above €1.000 but the 3 main shops keep dropping a few under the 1k mark. So nip down and get overwhelmed again and cone home pissed off

Went into one of the shops late Friday and they had one at €404. That's a third of original price.

When I got home I Googled and it came up cool on the reviews.
So up Saturday early, but shopping centre was closed as it was labour day. Bugger.

Same again today, but they were open. Nice lass showed us the telly and it was last one.
Bought it.

Great to save a few bob, but also great to have the choice made for me.

Free delivery manana

The box it came in was bloody huge. I felt unwell, so Pen greeted them. They unpacked it and set it all up.

Still getting used to it and it's growing on me. Superb on 4K stuff, but some lesser stuff struggles to upscale.

Penny joked that it's an inch wider than she is tall

That two amusing Nan sayings I heard today now! My colleague just told me her Nan used to say, "Fridge Pickers get big knickers"!

If we're talking lawnmowers, I've just bought this. Well impressed, uses two Makita LXT batteries (same as drill, driver & hedge trimmer) and goes a good 'un.

I am an untethered, silent grass assassin.
