Ok, bear with me, I'm not quite sure where I am going with this but I need to get it off my chest.
Dp has always had a "thing" for technology/gadgets. He bought a 42 plasma 3 years ago when they were just out, without telling me but hey twas his money, we could afford it blah blah blah.
Over the pas few months things have gone a bit further...
£350+ for a blu ray dvd player imported from the states, which ds who's 1 loves to play with a press the buttons on - much to his horror.
An amplifier that must be 7inches tall over a foot wide, the same deep and ugly as hell.
A subwoofer which is 1 foot square (bigger than nappy box)
4 ridiculous egg shaped speakers that are huge too.
Now the problem isnt the cost of these things, I'm a bit miffed that they were bought without us discussing it but hey ho. Its the fact that they have taken over the living room, there is cables and wires and boxes and speakers everywhere. The equipment doesnt fit on the tv stand properly so its all squashed up looking shit, and the bastardy speakers have been mounted on the door frames!!
The other problem is that is getting frustrated with it as it doesnt appear to be working out as he planned (size etc) so is starting to rush putting it all up/together (isn actually all connected yet) I came downstairs this morning and the copper wire that runs from one of the door mounted speakers is fucking SELLOTAPED to the wall!!!
So I told him it looked crap (even though he knows - its so unlike him to do something shoddy like this) and he gets all rattty and deffensive and storms off to work.
So, assuming you are still awake... Sorry.
I am pissed because: There is all this ridiclous equipment addourning our living room, which ds takes delight in "playing" with, it looks ugly, it hasnt been thought out properly,and is starting to make the place look like some sort of starship. (oh and has cost £1000+ not inc tv)
Just needed to get that off my chest.. thanks for listening - apologies for the boredom
