My neighbours got a new wide screen tv delivered today

It's one of those flat screen, cinema surround sound jobbies

How do I know? Well apart from the big box they have positioned pride of place in their front garden.....I've also been listening to them test the sodding thing out at full volume all night :(

I feel like knocking on the door and asking if I can watch what they are watching with them seeing as I've been listening to it all night. I'll offer to bring the popcorn just to be polite though ;)

  • We are semi detached.

    Hubby has the 42" Pioneer plasma mounted on the party wall.

    I'm always nagging him to turn it down.

    I have asked her if she c an hear it & she says no. But I do worry shes just being polite.

    No extra speakers though (I think they look a bit chavy all over the living room & I couldn't stand the wires either). But being Pioneer the sound is pretty intense without any extras.

    oops just realised I posted this on the wrong board :o

    I know it's a vent but I meant to post it on the Arms board!

    Still it's a valid point, when buying a big tv consider your neighbours.

    The box will be handy for the local thieves when they take the tv, they will be able to sell on there plunder as new and boxed.

    The last thing i would do is advertise :cool:

    oh they are doing that in spades....even if you managed to miss the box right now you couldn't miss the noise!

    I think they are watching 28 days later....lots of moaning and screaming.
