This morning DD was watching TV, it made a slightly alarming noise and went off, now it wont power up. Well it will but it wont come on - When you switch it on, nothing happens, no standby light, nothing,but there is power going to it because i checked it with a volt detector. Thats that, its busted, broke, caput, stuffed, buggered and knackered. And i dont care!! Ive just realised, i never actually watch it. I am SAHM and i never have it on during the day (i MIGHT have the radio but i enjoy the silence). I am now quite relaxed as DP is doing bedtime (late night due to pub lunch with DD and DP) and im enjoying the fact that the TV isn't on. My DP will turn the bloody thing on as soon as he walks into a room, even if he is just passing through it (is that a man thing?)
Had to give DP a 
though, because despite the fact that I Checked it was plugged in 
Checked the fuse etc, he walked in - attempted to turn it on, checked it was plugged in and said, did you check the fuse - errr, yeah, i told you earlier on that i did all of those things - plank! That must be another man thing
mmmmmmmm peace - and, mores to the point, when DP has done bedtime there will be no shit telly, no bloody cops and robbers and fast drivers, no Dave (tv channel) repeats and no fucking bruce willis/jackie chan/van dam shoot em ups either. Bloody lovely
Only thing is DD1 has just donated us her old one - oh well, peace tonight then
