Damn weather

So, I was hoping (along with Karen, and a friend from work) to go skimboarding at Troon on Sunday, but the weather doesn't look like it's going to be conducive to a day at the beach, so it looks like we're stuffed.

Got a panicked call from K earlier.  The tv is stuffed.  It's switching off, then on, then off, then on.  Problem is, the final "on" state is taking over half an hour now.  A quick search online, and this appears to be quite a common fault with Samsungs.  Admittedly, we've had it a couple of years, but even so, you'd expect a tv to last longer than that.  All the forums say the same thing, it's cheaper to replace than repair, and at least that way you get (at least) a years guarantee.  So, while she's not working this afternoon, Karen is off in search of the holy grail (ok, a new tv, but if you watch as many movies as we do, it may as well be the holy grail)
