BFTD Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 I don't mean to get all 'Sheldon from Big Bang' but does anyone else have their own chair or own spot on the sofa that they always use? We had people round last night and they thought it was odd. I've never really asked anyone as I thought it was the norm. Me on the left, wife on the right, wean in the middle when he deigns to join us. My mother on the recliner when she's over. Everyone else can sit on the floor and be pelted with peanuts. Anything else is just wrong. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mizfit Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 Me and my dad fight over the chair closest to the telly every night. I usually lose and go watch telly in my room instead. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
throbber Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 Yeah, sort of like metal rawlplugs? Saw a telly on Tesco Direct for £139. It's more than likely a crap quality, but given I'll be using it for watching the news whilst doing the dishes, the occasional CL game at night when Mrs Adam is watching the telly or the Xbox, I'm not too bothered about great quality. It's easy to get wrong ones I had nightmare when I moved into this flat but these bad boys are great just screw them in with screw driver then you attach the fixings your TV Bracket come with into them and your laughing. You will need to buy a separate pack of them coz nothing you buy comes with the right fixings. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

throbber Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 Dee Man are they not the ones you need to get a wee crow bar like mechanism to pull it back out once its fitted to the wall so the fixing expands on the inside? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You turn the screw and the fitting expands. Hope the boy/girl that invented them made a bundle. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Na, you just turn the screw and that opens up the, erm, bits and vice versa. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
throbber Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 You turn the screw and the fitting expands. Hope the boy/girl that invented them made a bundle. The one i posted is just a simple screw in job with no expansion what so ever, much simpler! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't hold as much kg's without risk of ripping a big hole in your plasterboard. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dee Man Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 You are trying to sell the man an impractical and inferior product, you should be ashamed of yourself The exact same amount of time and effort is required for both of our suggestions but the difference being that mine is much stronger and therefore more reliable. You just want to see him posting in PTTGOYN next week moaning about his brand new telly lying in pieces on his kitchen floor you sick b*****d. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zen Archer (Raconteur) Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 There's a white, Irish man driving around Dundee petrol stations in his white van telling children to get in his fucking van, supposedly. CCTV footage of the culprit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 The ones DeeMan posted are the ones that I was thinking of Throbber. I've used the ones that you posted in work for whiteboards and the likes, but not sure I would want to hang a telly with just four of them holding it in place. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 It's a comfort blanket since the loss of the purple plates. I do miss the purple plates, as I am a fairly colourful chap. That said, the new plates we have are slightly smaller, and as such fit in the cupboard with the cups, glasses, bowls etc, rather than having to go in the pan cupboard where the purple plates resided, so I'm prepared to take the hit, tbh. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More importantly, who's plasterboard fixings do you prefer? Mine or Dee mans? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joey Jo Jo Junior Shabadoo Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 I've managed to go an entire day with absolutely zero human contact. Not seen anyone, no phone calls and not a single text message. <<<Sad loner. BE A WEAR. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
