don't be jealous II
Last week was a good gadget week. First of all I got a lovely iPod on Friday, and then on Saturday, sick fed up of watching yellow people on TV, we finally decided to take the plunge into the sea of digital madness. We got ourselves a beautiful HD LCD TV and a HD DVD player too. Of course, we have too much class to buy a truly humungous screen. Instead, we went for a dignified 26" screen, the smallest you can have and still appreciate HD beauty. I can't believe that it has come to the sorry state of affairs where people will assume that we must be intellectuals because we have such a small TV. Thank God, the size of your TV has nothing to do with the size of your penis. Anyway, it is lovely, or at least the DVDs are lovely. Sadly, the TV signal can't match the quality of the TV and the picture is crap. Hopefully that will all change next year when Sky launch their HD Sky+ box. I can't wait.

The iPod didn't provoke much jealousy but this did. I fancy an HD LCD tv something rotten. The wife's grandparents live locally and bought a 42" HD plasma last year to watch the Olympics in HD...spoiled me.
However, at about the same time our older (then only) daughter was going through a hitting phase. This extended a few times to the television. We had started letting her watch one programme and she would become displeased when it was over -- so she started smacking the screen.
You might want to put the telly out of McMuffin Jr's reach.

Tiny steps toward parenthood...and life without external entertainment. Now you must join a DVD club.
