    THIS HOUSE IS TOO SMALL FOR MY TV

    Well my parents bought a reasonably affordable TV several years back as well as a really nice cabinet for it, but then they came out with affordable HDTVs that are hells of widescreen and all that. So they're in the situation I just mentioned, basically.

    My parents solved that problem my extending the tv shelf out slightly and have the widescreen bits of the tv poking out the side.

    you'd think that

    but if you ever see Blake's TV

    you would disagree so hard

    The moment you buy a 37" TV you will wish you bought a larger tv.

    it does 1080p fine and is viewable from a decent distance off

    Nah it doesn't look too bad, but that's mainly because the wall unit just sits in the corner and it's a single row of units. If it was one that went all over the wall it would look silly.

    Well, I was in the UK, Mori's in the Bay Area (of all the places in the world, I pick one that's more expensive than the UK)

    My boss has a nice 4 bedroom, but judging by her neighbour's for sale sign it cost her a cool $1.2 million

    My parents' house is actually quite large, enough for all of their 6 kids to have their own rooms, but the roof recently caved in, they've had the most awful damp problems (I was always scrubbing my walls), the kitchen had to be redone and the decor was very out-of-date.

    ...soooo yes, I am always going to be living in a shoebox.
