Cancelling the direct debit meant they had to send me one in order to get payment. And saved me £1.50 a month in the meantime until I moved network at the end of that contract.
Optimistic as ever |

I also managed to spend a sizeable amount as I have noticed in recent years that late December is the best time to book flights abroad. That and replacing my eight year old plasma with a modern OLED TV My trick is to pay for anything expensive with my usual credit card then transfer the balance to a Barclaycard as they offer 22 months interest free credit for a fairly nominal fee of 2.9% Though this comment is donkeys years old, I'd somehow not 'til recently even heard of OLED TVs. I watched the game on a mates TV the other game though as was well impressed. Prices seem to be coming down greatly of late so I might upgrade.. Anyone else got one?

I have always found accountants to be so fixated with final figures, they lose sight of real life objectives completely.
I disengage, I turn the page. |

? The prices are really coming down. I've been looking at the LG ones as they seem to have the best reviews of them all.. This with 10% off extra seems like a real bargain | Midlands Eagle 28 Mar 22 2.22pm |

Mine is 65inch Sony TV, I got from there 3 years ago, never has let me down and from what I know my brother bought a similar one (different brand) elsewhere, the same time for about double the price, and had to replace it last year. Mine's still happily going and has collected a few happy Palace memories along the way too Edited by Nicholas91 (28 Mar 2022 2.33pm)
Now Zaha's got a bit of green grass ahead of him here... and finds Ambrose... not a bad effort!!!! |

I'm not a big TV watcher really but as you say you can't beat a big display for the game. Might go for a 65' option then or possibly 55'. There are 75' options too, but I'll be needing popcorn, extra chairs and a ticketing system if I go too far down that route!

Possibly smaller, partly due to that for also the contrast in size to the current TV. I guess if I mess up I can always send it back, but I'll try to figure it out priot!

The contrast is rather like switching the light on in a darkened room
