Frazzles are quality. Them and Chipsticks are right up there.
And if you don't eat Chipsticks by chomping a centimetre at a time you're a fucking paedophile.
Chipsticks stick in your teeth.
This gammon is banging. I'm gonna attempt to get through all of it.
Could have finished it, but thought better of it. #NewYearNewMe #Goals #We'reGammonIHopeYouLikeGammonToo
Just had a rollmop (literally got 2 jars of them as part of my christmas present from my uncle) and gherkin sandwich. Pretty banging.
A what?
Pickled herring bro.
You're not normal.
Where do you live, igor? I've never heard of that before.
That does not sound good.
Rugby, the cultural hub of the midlands. I blame my Polski heritage for loving anything pickled and the town's inexplicable number of dodgy eastern european shops for enabling me.
I do like pickled goods, but not a fan of shit little fish like herring.
What ever happened to Davgooner?
Still floats about the odd time doesn't he? Either that or he had one rumble too many and got his head caved in my some West Ham fans.
He hasn't stopped by since I've been posting again.
He broke the George Michael news on Christmas Day.
I'm a twit
Yeah, to the paramedics.
Fair enough.
My family wouldn't stop talking about death after George Michael died. I ended up going to my mates, and then his mum went on a rant calling him a bastard for "making little girls fall in love with him" when he was gay, then kept grouping him in with Jimmy Saville and Rolf Harris. She was wrong, and she's mental, but it was funny tbf.
Roll mops are shit.
Try Polish pickled mushrooms, they're stunning.
This BattleBots is fun. It's just Robot Wars with more shouting (lots more shouting), but some MIT nerds got donned by some no-mark college in the middle of nowhere, and I bet they were absolutely SEETHING.
Currently -1 in M town. Warming myself up with nachos and whiskey.
Not sure where else to put it, so here it goes.
Anyone here flirted with the idea of two TVs in their living room? I so regularly take my TV through from my bedroom to dual screen (usually american football) that I'm considering just buying another TV (as close to identical to the other as feasible) and just having it there constantly.
Would only cost about £400 and I have a black Ikea 'Lack' shelf I could put up and put it on (or just wall mount it).
Note: I (obviously) don't have a wife/girlfriend so I have free reign to do whatever I want to my flat.
Why not then? I'd probably have done that by now if I was single.
Was just looking for someone to authorise the purchase.
Go on my son.
This has reminded me, do we have a TV thread?
Not saying that Foes thing should be in it (good idea btw, I'd do likewise if I could) but I want to buy a new one and have some questions.
Just buy a 60"?
Done.
£350 of vouchers, so only cost me £19 of actual money. Shelves can go up tomorrow after work. TV arrives on Saturday.
That's what the lad in work said too, but that would be ridiculously large. Mid 40's max.
I spent quite a long time researching TVs around the 40 inch mark and around 300ish price a month or two ago.

I bought the 40" version of no 9 on that list. I think I paid around 330 for it. I've been very happy with it.
I just want to know is curved worth it over flat and is UHD worth it over HD. And if there are any other figures to watch out for. Something tells me Hz, and if that is the case then what's a good number?
Smart isn't really a necessity but once you get to the UHD ones they all seem to have their own smart interface anyway.
OLED > all. Take 'UHD' with a pinch of salt and really research what that means. You get what you pay for, basically. The jargon is all over the place being applied to shite TVs.
I didn't think UHD seemed worth it as I don't have any UHD sources. Unless you've got the source material, you're just going to be upscaling normal HD and it'll look slightly worse than on an HD screen.
I have no idea about curved. I've never really liked the idea of it. What are the advantages meant to be?
I can't remember exactly what Hz is for? Refresh rate? I think that's mostly just important for gaming so you don't get any input lag.
What about this? Was thinking about running up for it tomorrow, but it seems to have a lot off so it's probably some dud model with some bad spec I'm probably missing.

Refresh rate explained. Also important for sport apparently. Seeems like above 120 is fine.
Did you see some of the marketing? If they call it anything other than what it is (i.e Trumotion) you can basically half it!
Really want a new telly now.
I have no idea what that sentence means.Did you see some of the marketing? If they call it anything other than what it is (i.e Trumotion) you can basically half it!

I only realised my TV had a netflix button and that I didn't need to buy that second PS4 about 4 months ago. I don't really worry about technology so much so long as I can make it play Recess and NFL.
Looks alright to me but I can't find any proper reviews online for that model number (just the ku6100 bit).
Be wary of their bullshit marketing.
All marketing is bullshit.
Not all of it.
It is really. All that matters is figures. I just don't know what figures are good in the case of televisions.
Wrong time to buy a telly though. As Boyd alluded to the content isn't there yet. A year or two though.
That's what I was originally asking. Is UHD (or 4k) worth it considering I don't think I have any means of the content, or would I be better getting it seeing as I've had this TV for 6 years and I'll have the new one the same length of time.Wrong time to buy a telly though.

I've had mine since 2011 as well. Not the right time if you want a long termer.
