School holidays x rain x three children / one lip balm = a broken 4 month old 4k TV.

Still can’t work out how a 99p lip balm can break a tv screen, with a throw like that she should take up American football or something. Apparently she was ‘passing’ it to her brother. Kids eh?

I blame the parents.

Anyone want to adopt a 10yo?

Nah. Already got one. ‘s a bit of a faff to be honest.

EBay with 99p start price?

Just kiss & make-up.

Medical experiments FTW.

EBay with 99p start price?

Was thinking that, comes boxed with remote etc, will also throw in the 6 year guarantee!

Also Netflix will work as I can’t sign out of it now.

99p is about the right price but eBay don’t allow the selling of children unfortunately.

Still reeling at the fact its possible to spend £4k on a tv !!! Hope you get it fixed 🙂

😆

Could swap for a 12 year old who dropped her iphone on the tiled bathroom floor yesterday morning.
Cracked the phone, cracked the tiles.

Thats bad luck 🙁

<Runs upstairs to 10yr old daughter to check she has the wii controller wrist strap on>

Sounds like a classic episode of Benefits Britain

Yep, bring her round, my wife won’t let me buy a new TV and i’m on the verge of bribing my kids to throw something at our current telly…

4K is the new standard in TV. Although it is probably very easy to spend £4k on a TV.

Samsung 75″ is a snip at £9999 plus soundbar for ~£730. There are pov spec 65″ and ridiculous 85″ models available as well.

A mate used to ‘threaten’ his lad, aged about 7-8 at the time, with putting him on eBay when he seriously stepped out of line. The little fella was told he would probably end up with a family who didn’t allow toys or playing or anything cool. It used to crack us up.

House insurance should replace it surely?

But only with an equivalent 10yo…

I’m sure its really easy to go in a shop and look at a 4k tv. The hard part for me is thinking ooo i’ll buy it.

pretty sure you can sign into netflix webby and de-authorise devices.
maybe

As soon as our daughter was able to move, I ordered a sheet of 5mm perspex and attached it to the front of the TV. It’s never coming off.

</smug comment>

Definitely don’t want another daughter – one is bad enough.

I just taught mine not to touch the tv – was cheaper than a sheet of Perspex

I did think of getting one of those electric shock collars, would that work?

That’s what I used. Worked well.

There are pov spec 65″ and ridiculous 85″ models available as well.

what input are they using? I just upgraded to 42″ which looks great on HD and pretty shoddy on standard TV, I know different image engines(?) will vary on how they process the picture but surely on something that size standard telly will be awful and even HD might be a bit ropey….?

I know I personally as a kid NEVER did anything silly like that!

Also, in their defence TV’s used to weigh a lot and have much thicker glass, these days they are made of paper thin glass.

Evening. Remember that naughty lad you met outside VW? Aged 2yrs he broke a new flatscreen TV with a piece of lego!

” a 12 year old who dropped her iphone “

No, you are just being funny now.

Did you buy the TV with a credit card? You’ll probably find the purchase is insured with the cc for x amount of months

Failing to see anything funny about it.

My then darling 3yo pulled the cones out of my Sonus Faber speakers to take to mummy. House insurance is for such things.

And I thought 12yo’s never let go of iphones too.

We’ve had two home insurance claims for ‘laptop screen smashed by sword’. Calling up the second time was less than entertaining.

a 12 year old who dropped her iphone

Really? A first world problem if ever I heard one.

WTF does a 12 year old need a £500 iphone for?

probably needs it about as much as most iphone owners, regardless of age, so I don’t see the point in being outraged over it. Might not have been a £500 model and could have been a hand-me-down, not really a big issue. Apart from the cracked tile, gonna be messy to sort out if you have a matching spare tile.

WTF does a 12 year old need a £500 iphone for?

To be fair he just said “iphone”, not “the very latest iphone 6S”.

I have an old iPhone 4 sat on the shelf next to me. If my daughter was old enough I’d happily give her it – it’s doing nothing else.

But I’d buy a case 😀

For me 4 k on a TV is obscene.

We don’t even allow our 5-year-old to use electricity.

I’ve heard you even confiscate static.
