Yeah, we have something similar, and I probably could have waited and gotten rid of them for free, but with family coming for Christmas, I just wanted to get them out of the house.
It probably would’ve been easier if I’d had Julie help me carry the bigger one (65”) up from the basement before she left that morning, but I managed.The backlight went out on that one a few months ago, and we replaced it then, I just hadn’t gotten around to getting rid of it. The other TV was in our bedroom, and although it smaller than the one from the basement, I think it weighed more.
We’d had that one since we got married, about 15 years, which I think, sadly, is a pretty long life for a TV these days. That one started turning itself off after 30 seconds. The new one I bought this weekend to replace it feels like it weighs nothing in comparison, cost way less than we paid for that one back then, and the picture quality is 10x better.
The other fun thing about getting rid of TVs is that you have to pay someone to take ‘em off your hands. I was looking up where to take them beforehand, and the county-run recycling center we usually go to (because it’s closest) charged $20 per TV, a couple other places charge $30 each, and one place charged $1 per inch of screen size.
Thanks, Steve!
It’s pretty good, Jeff. They’ve done three 11 year Offerman Edition Lagavulins: a standard one, one finished in Guinness casks (which is the one I had last night), and one finished in charred oak barrels. I have a bottle of each, but I’ve only tried the first two. Haven’t cracked open the charred oak on yet.
Glad you made it, Jack, and what a view!Thanks for reminding me that I need to pick up a couple bottles of cava this week. The girls (that is, Julie and my sister-in-law, not Eleanor and Scout
) always want mimosas on Christmas morning, for which we usually use cava rather than champagne. (Not sure I could tell you why, none of us are experts when it comes to sparkling wine. We’ve just sort of found what we like and stuck with it, I guess.)
I forgot that I took this pic while I was out shopping on Saturday. I stopped in a shop that carries some international snacks, candy, beverages, etc. (It’s the place I used to be able to find dandelion and burdock.) Jack, I thought you’d get a kick out of the price of a can of Heinz Beans. That’s a bit more than I remember seeing them sold for in England.
First time I've ever seen (or even heard of) those Brit beans. Did you buy a can to try?
Steve, you are acquiring some nice old classic models.
Jack, I don't see any snow in your pictures???

It's warm enough here in Vic for the snakes to get out and about. Just got back from the mother inlaws, had a brown snake in the kitchen. Wasn't allowed to use the shovel in case I cracked a tile. That was fun...

Us poor battlers are left to their own devices, talk about the good life.
I never watch TV, but do watch DVDs. Mine originally belonged to Wolfie's mother-in-law. She handed it down to him and his missus, and I got it about 15 years ago!It probably would’ve been easier if I’d had Julie help me carry the bigger one (65”) up from the basement before she left that morning, but I managed.

I've sort of been thinking of getting a new one, but not if I have to pay a charge to get rid of the old one! 
I did buy a new PC monitor about 6 months back. It's still in the box!
Blimey Barrett, that's STEEP!I forgot that I took this pic while I was out shopping on Saturday.

Cool pic though! The campaign was quite widely referenced here Mitch, even though the adverts were different
You didn't ask what slip slop slap meant
I bet you didn't have these adds back in the 80s
Glad you got the TV's sorted. laying to get rid of them is no good. I'm cheap the council area we had free kerb side pick up twice a year for free, so I'd wait.
Not cheap for beans
Jack on holidays
Great pic Todd
That's fantastic Steve
Thanks Pete

The recipe does vary country to country though. They used to have virtually 100% of the British baked bean market, but then some idiot watered the sauce down 
Hope you're keeping cool mateAfternoon all

Very nice

Don't worry about the venomous snake/enormous crocodile/giant rat/poisonous spider, just don't crack the tile! Good morning Guardians, it's fortunate the Canary Islands functions on Yorkshire Time!
I'm afraid I'm feeling pretty rough today though, a combination of eating far too late, (which really messes me up), boozing (I didn't even drink very much), and a late night due to wandering round the hotel for 2 hours trying to find my room (a bloke told me he's stayed here 4 times, and still gets lost)! Have a great day everyone
