Ugh. Excuse the slightly off topic rant but I could bloody weep...

Two years looking for a new TV, constant lusting over Sony's SXRD based 55inch rear projection set for the past 12 months, the set gets knocked down at John Lewis to �999 with the stand, delivery, and five year warranty (plus further discounts via quidco and a �20 voucher for first time online customers making it about �945) and do I have the money to cover it in the Bank before Thursday? Do I heck.... and there are only four left [with five having gone in the last two hours] so there's bugger all chance of there being any left come the end of the week.

I am the master of bad timing.

My foray into hi def hits continued delays (the 360 HD DVD drive is down to �109 at Amazon now too. *sobs*). Raining on a bank holiday too. What a wretched day this has turned out to be. I shall crawl back into my low def hole now...
