After Chrimbo, in the sales
Your TV WILL die, and you might miss a bargain if you wait.
If the TV dies before Christmas, you'll have to get off your arse and fork out.

EDIt: Is it TV or tv?

We have a portable colour tv at my folk's place that still makes that noise twenty years after it started.
A satisfying thump on the case sorts it out.

Really?
Once I start thumping something I normally only get another month out of it.

that's an old one though
whereas mine is probably about 5 years old, and as such will not take such abuse.

It's TV but really shouldn't be.
It should be T.

Yeah
but I thought I read somewhere that 'tv' was the closest to proper.
But I may have read it on a toilet wall in The North...

Ah but I'm scouse.
We say 'telly' too.

D'you know what, having read that back
I haven't a fucking jar of glue myself.
What I think I meant was, try to wait until January, because bargains will be even better.
However, have some money set aside, and be prepared to buy sooner, should the television 'pass away' before that.

wouldn't even be considering it if we hadn't already got a reasonably substantial pot of savings already

SMUG!!!

( Roota zweeeeeoooooowm, Mon 30 Nov 2009, 13:52, Reply)

not really
we saved like motherfuckers for months in case the drop in house prices fucked our mortgage

You're still smug that you're not screwed
Admit it.
( Roota zweeeeeoooooowm, Mon 30 Nov 2009, 13:56, Reply)

more relieved than smug

Ok, well now you can be smug that you've proven you weren't being smug
And I can go and sit in the corner and whistle Dixie.

I think you may be my favourite poster*
You have a way with words that I find eminently charming.
