Bought a new tv

[Hacky McAxe]

Ha. I have a similar story.

Not long after I moved up here, my whole family (parents, sister, BIL and 2 young kids) came up to visit. I decided to stay at Mrs CDs (then just CD's new girlfriend) place during their stay so they had more room. One morning I came to the house to see that both of my TVs had massive scratches on them. The 2nd TV was an old Hisense, but the main one was abut 2 months old Sony that I had paid a bloody lot for. TVs still worked, but the scratch was unmissible.

My niece was too old to do something that stupid, so i pinned it on my nephew, was was 2 at the time. He must have found a stone in the garden and decided to see what pebble on LCD TV looked like. I still haven't forgiven him, and when he is an adult i plan on going to his place and fucking up his shit, to see how he likes it. Dammit.

My nephew is actually pretty good but it's funny that he managed to destroy 2 tvs while about 18 months old, then when he turned 6 he decided to clean his grandfather's TV and found out that spray and wipe isn't designed for use on TVs.

I think its not something to panic about. Some of my friends go a tad overboard on the whole child safety thing, others are totally lax

Sounds good as long as you didn't pay for the 5 year warranty. That's a bit of a rip off.

I paid for the 5 year warranty but that's the best part. 3 x $20 gift vouchers every year ($60) for 5 years ($300) and this all cost us $350 so effectively we paid $50 for it. Plus we get a brand new tv if we bring in the remote control 3 times within the 5 year period - even for simple wear and tear.
