Crap GadgetsWe wanted a monkey butler and bought one off eBay. Imagine our surprise when we found it was just an ordinary monkey with rabies. Worse: It had no butler training at all. Tell us about your duff technology purchases.
Thanks to Moonbadger for the suggestion

^^ the voice of sanity ^^I don't see the point of HD. I don't sit there thinking "Wow, I wish this picture had better resolution!" (I sometimes think "Wow, I wish this program had better writers", but that's a different issue).
In fact, if you're so un-involved with a dramatic story that you even notice the resolution, then the program has failed, in my book. I have been so absorbed in a film that I didn't notice it was in black-and-white until it was pointed out to me...

Well...How about "because I have a large TV and watch film on BluRay, so like to be able to make use of my Sky HD subscription when watching Boardwalk Empire or even things like An Idiot Abroad, where the HD image makes the scenery much more engrossing in what is a travel show."?
Of course, I could hook up my old 14" portable, but I'd rather Sky just didn't cheap-jack on the hardware, if it's all the same to you...

I knowyou have a large tv because your penis is tiny and your life is wasted in front of aforementioned tiny penis substitute.

Nope...I don't drink and prefer to spend my free time with my family - one of our luxuries is to have a nice tv and stereo as we can settle in and watch a film together, it's got nothing to do with showing off, as we don't spend money on holidays because we prefer to stay home and enjoy the garden or wander round the countryside we live in. I don't need to show off as I don't want to impress anyone. However, if you feel offended about my wanting to get value for money from Mr. Murdoch, I apologise.

Exactly...That was kind of the whole point of my saying it was a disappointing piece of crap.
