Our dogs accidentally pulled our video projector out of its projection cupboard 2m above the ground. There was a loud bang and tinkling of glass and that was the end of TV in the family room. That was 3 weeks ago and I haven't missed it one bit. SWMBO generally watches TV in the bedroom or iView stuff on her iPad so it hasn't bothered her either.

The dogs don't seen to miss "In the night garden" either although I note a few extra holes in the back lawn.

Why are the dogs now outside as it would appear that they were untrained house dogs.

LOL, they might be digging for food after their rations where taken away.
Bloody expensive to both of you. What sort of dogs reach 2 meters? Great Danes,LOL

My computer sits on my dining room table, who needs a desk?

Rotti, the Rottweiler bolted in, straight under the table, caught all the cables, and smash. Computer and screen fell 700mm to the floor.

After screaming at the dog, and it was my fault, I gingerly put every thing back in place, and turned it on. Worked fine, beat that for good luck.

Gave the dog a cuddle afterwards and got a lick on the face, beat that!

The projector was hooked up to the video recorder and set top box via a cable that ran across the floor - it has been that way for 6 years - never been a problem.

The "Accident" happened when a friend was showing us some photos so we hooked her laptop up to the projector via a long VGA cable.

Our two dogs (border collies) came thundering in to see what was on the screen (the older one just loves watching TV on the big screen) and one got tangled in the VGA cable and pulled the projector out of the cupboard.

Fortunately the friend managed to grab hold of her laptop otherwise they would have pulled it off the small table in front of her.

SWMBO blames me - she wanted me to buy a wireless projector last year - so I got 3 extra months out of this one!

That's the beauty of a dog, they forgive you straight away, try doing that with a SWMBO.

I haven't had a TV for more than 20 years. Don't miss it. Plenty of other things to do.

Know the feeling (see my post boys dream comes true or on the blog link below).

Well my story is a little different I bought the Myford last week and in the same week monitor died 22" now I am using a 17" thank goodness I have two spares one on another PC. Outlay for rental increase $80 a month close enough to pay the mortgage ourselves.
Subaru needs major service $1800 belt, plugs, all oils etc.

Smile though as we do it annoys the neighbours.

HI,

Well its all good now. I'm over it, its only money and you can't take it with you. My kids are precious and irreplaceable, the tv isn't. I'll just keep saving up. Just about to sell my car, so will try and put some money in my cunning kit.

Cheers Ben.

ps, thank God the dog hasn't broken anything yet!
