    When did you break a telly last?
    I "overused" the on off button on my parents TV and it cost 44 punts.
    Years later though, I bought my parents a new LCD telly with bigger screen.
    I haven't broken a telly as an adult either.
    What did you do to break a telly?

    Foolishly tripped on the cord of a small telly, sadly it caused the casing to come away. My brother and I were using it for Nintendo... disastrous!

    Incidentally it would seem that even if you have a broken telly you need to have a TV Licence here in Ireland... curious! :)

    I threw a PS3 Controller by mistake and it bounced and hit my TV screen smashing the screen. It was only a few weeks old too. Gutted

    I used to be a bit of big deal in the music biz but it was getting to me and so I faked my own death so I could take a break.

    Well right before that, I shot one.

    Ah, the fun of pre-interweb days and watching late-night "art" movies :pac:

    If you can read this, you're too close!

    This is getting so bad, I'm even tempted to talk to the pain in the hole who sits beside me at work

    Is this serious?

    i read the OP and i think it might be.

    if so, this is one of the worst ideas for a thread i've ever seen!!! there's nothing about it i like. who cares who broke a telly in their lives!?
