    Myself and herself bought a house recently and we are nearly finished doing up one of the sitting rooms. We have a smallish second sitting room which will become my haven for sport etc. So apart from the huge TV I will try to squeee in there, what are the essentials for the "man room" as I will have licence to do it up (to some extent without her interference)

    What do you think? A stove, a decent sound system??

    A gun safe, neatly consealed in an antique press that you buy at a car boot sale or auction. With one rifle, one semi-auto shotgun and preferably a pistol as well and a supply of ammunition.

    Large fridge filled to the brim with tins of beer

    Proper decent spec PC with at least 2 decent size monitors

    Valve amplifier and the best speakers you can afford. Go for quality, not raw power output cause its a small room

    Shelf filled with bottles of whiskey and what have you, but not one you could see from through the window

    Fridge for beer, ice, mixers.
    Microwave for popcorn.
    Basketball hoop above the bin.
    Large vintage posters of Samantha Fox and Maria Whittaker.
    Flourescent Beer sign.
    Moth eaten but comfy as hell sofa.
    Extractor fan if you and your mates decide to have cigars.

    Enjoy!

    Your own bar with a keg and a tap would be a nice touch!
    Something like the one in the picture

    Also your letting the men down! She should have the smaller sitting room!

    You should include a top spec poker set, dart board, a mounted stuffed stags head, and something retro like a giant juke box or record player!

    A box of **** socks.
    A stripper pole.
    A piss corner.
    A 52" tv.
    A drum kit.
    A strobe light.
    A mixing desk.
    A large drug tin.
    A plastic **** doll.
    A remote for everything.
    A cooler for beers.
    A stripper pole.

    Soundproofing. That way there will be no shouting from the door to keep it down.

    And no point with the coke and hookers, you'll be infested with wild moderators. I had to set modtraps all over the house to get rid of them!

    I thought this was going to be a post about how it's supposed to be so well insulated that it would qualify for a 'A' rating in the BER cert. Maybe with a mention of some renewable heating source and LED lighting

    A time lock on the door so nobody can just barge in.

    Very comfortable seats is a must, women can go for style over comfort.

    A good work bench, with a decent vice and plenty of space. A really hideous couch, a **** load of books, a vinyl player and properly swag sound system and a shedload of vinyl. Feck off with your telly and your bean bags, a man cave is where you build robots and boats and stuff and listen to Coltrane at obnoxious levels at 4 in the morning.
