Bah

So my telly got replaced - a friend gave us their old one. But it's shit. I've gone from a 100hz nice Bravia to a 30hz Digimate that has dreadful picture quality and can't be used to plug a PC into. The wife's said "it's good enough" which translates to "any emergency budget we could have drummed up is now off the table, let's go to Ikea and spend it on storage and curtains"

Bah

Whilst whinging about tellies though, what a fucking minefield! You can get no-brand, no frills LED TVs (32") for a shade over £200. Great, but then if you want a reasonable manufacturer, plus mod-cons like FreeviewHD and iPlayer/Lovefilm built in the price goes up to £400. Still not too bad on the face of it but that's then the same price that decent 40-42" screens start at!

So I'm left with the choice of a Freeview HD internet-enabled 32" screen or a 42" screen with the same (and sometimes better) specs for EXACTLY THE SAME FUCKING PRICE! All which leaves me with a distinstly sour taste in my mouth as I'd feel like I as throwing cash into the gutter by not choosing the bigger screen, even though I fucking hate big TV screens

Fuck it, maybe this shitty TV has helped me dodge a bullet

LIVING ROOM

The east wall of the room is decorated in floral wallpaper, the other three walls are plain. A large bay window adorns the South wall, allowing copious sunlight to flood across the thick wool carpet. A two piece leather suite provides comfortable seating options. There are exits to the West and North.
There is a GIFTHORSE here.

> Look at gifthorse

The gifthorse is black and silver, a little shabby and dusty. He is piebald, and the markings on his side seem to almost appear to mark out the letters "DGM". His mouth is open.
