I hope you are all remembering to hook up an excellent soundbar with those large 4k tellies. Please don't tell me you are sitting there listening to those crappy telly speakers like some basic bitch. McIntosh MC303 you cheapskate |

I got motion sickness watching University Challenge on a big telly once. The way they zoom in when someone buzzes. Like a radioactive relic of the cathode age.

Looking at some gig tickets there. Not serious about going - but they want £1.35 to email you an e-ticket. Wtf. Venues are struggling blah blah, but come on. You're emailing a pdf.

McIntosh MC303 you cheapskate I can't decide whether to have massive floorstanders or in wall speakers. I think I'd have a dedicated cinema room with massive speakers 9.4.6. And a media lounge with in wall speakers. Nothing too subtle. |

Nah, used to go to all the home games but not been for a few years, since they changed the matches to Tue/Fri instead of Wed/Sat because the 'big clubs' complained to UEFA. Basically impossible to get home from Hampden on public transport on a weekday evening if you live outside Glasgow, so it's a gruelling drive both ways, parking miles from the stadium, and no drinking. All so that Chelsea and Real Madrid can get their players back a day earlier. |

Ottm: 'Poker Face' on NOW TV is tremendous, even on a 42 inch telly. A proper homage to Columbo.

Mind you, about half a dozen play for teams that finished higher than Chelsea in the league. |

Isn't it usually the opposition that has players who play for good teams?

Would love to, but barely got use out of the surround system I used to have plugged in. Partner doesn’t hear the benefit of it, and we she heads to bed, I’m plugged in with headphones anyway. |

I don't really want to get into a discussion of the comparative merits of football teams. It's not an area I feel comfortable with. I had some difficulty with a couple of friends who are W*** H** fans when they won the Euro-Papa Johns trophy recently. |
