DH just returned excitedly from shops to switch cars as he has bought a speaker that IS TOO BIG TO FIT IN THE CAR

For the sitting room. He asked if i wanted grey, red or brown.

How big is the fucking thing ?

bless him! they are easily pleased at times

Just a speaker? Not a huge TV? Change the locks, quick!

Red or grey.

Seriously though, is the car he was in really tiny? How big can a speaker be?

Apparently it's in "a really big box". To not fit in a (small admittedly) car it has to be a monster though, yes? He's full of glee and has gone off to get it now. I couldn't speak.

Oh. I'm disappointed. I thought you meant he was pimping up the CAR and had bought a huuuge sound system and needed the car with the bigger boot to fit the speaker in to permanently.

I feel your pain. At one point we had six of the bloody things. Two at the side, two at the back of the room, a centre speaker and a bass speaker beside the doorway because apparently that's where they resonate best. And a huge fuck off great tv in the middle.

Our loving room looked like a bachelor pad. I made him get rid of some when we redecorated.

I read it wrong - I thought you meant he was buying a new car to fit the new speakers in

I recently bought three sets of storage drawers for my sewing room from tesco direct, measured them up and they fitted perfectly under my sewing/cutting table.

Went to pick them up in my punto- they were in boxes TWICE the size of the actual set of drawers - I had to make two trips!

My DS has a DJ sideline and needs DH's huge estate to move his speakers. The base is bigger than most fridges and he had 2 mahoosive sets of speakers creating a wall in his room! (He gets it from DH who has s love of huge speakers too). Agree that the boxes they come in are really scary sizes though

That's the sort of thing my dad would do.

milli you say fridge-sized. Gulp. He has not come back yet. I'm hoping my face said it all & he has returned it, even if it means he sulks and mopes all evening

Aaggh. I'm hiding in Dd's room, pretending to clean but actually lying on her bed. Can hear his favouite White Album playing very loudly. Too scared to lok
