I see that Sharp is about to market an LCD television with a 108 inch screen. This reminds me of a conversation I overheard last Christmas during an idle half hour in a Costa queue (see post below).

Middle-aged man 1: I'm thinking of getting one of these new big tellies.

Middle-aged man 2: I wouldn't bother.

Middle-aged man 1: No? Why not?

Middle-aged man 2: I got one last month. You don't notice they're any bigger after a couple of days. They're a waste of money.

Middle-aged man 1: Oh.
