Why not some Jaffa Cake-flavoured gin?

That reminds me, I still have that Yogscast paintjob for the Cobra MkIII, a ship I don't use or even own anymore...
Brewis Ginley's Jaffa Gin
Brewis Ginley has finally done it, a gin that tastes like Jaffa Cakes! Sourced from the Jaffa Factory Farm, this is a classic dry gin with a big hit of orange, followed by a layer of vanilla sponge and cocoa. Serve with a slice of fresh orange. Comes with a recipe card for some tasty Jaffa...

Feel free to take the time to shut up and sod off, I doubt many will mind.
we don't have a tv set - why would we?- there is internet and every movie available on demand, documentaries en masse and I'm not fond of most of the shows presented on tv anyway. So we don't have to place a tv set - those living rooms and parlors are just for relaxation and eventually having guests around. Most of the time I'm in my study and my PCs are where I'm watching videos, movies or news from around the world, youtube, documentaries and what not. A TV set cannot offer me what a PC and internet have to offer, and tv is passive - I want to be active doing these things - not to talk about the many ads in tv, which are stealing your time, whereas on PC I can be free of ads.
deep space isn't black though - that is just due to your limited perception, that it appears to you to be black. Just think of the background radiation, regardless in which direction in space you look, there is this radiation and it isn't black.
You really want luminous orange vomit all over your gaff?
That's sort of like developing computer games isn't it. Lowest common denominator and all that?
A "modern" victorian style living room looks more like this - it doesn't have lots of furniture on walls - walls are for art or other decorative items - the center piece is the couch set and if there is a lovely fireplace as well, it is all what you need in that room - to put more into it or even a tv set would just ruin the look and feel of that room.
well, I say living room, the official term is parlor - in larger homes there is a parlor for the family and a formal parlor for when you have guests around. It is often the largest room in the house, we put our snooker table into the former formal parlor, because it is the only room in that house, where the room still looks comfortably spacey with this "monster" table in it.

agreed
Ender is American, how would he know what to do without ads? He'd just wake up and sit staring at the space on his wall where the TV used to be until he starved to death, or social services came to collect him.
Do you know how to contact a local person to steal his TV then?
it's weird you think a TV is different from a large computer monitor that displays the videos streamed from the internet if that's how you want to do it. not sure why you would limit your idea of a TV to something circa y2k
A tv set does not belong into a victorian parlor - that was what I wanted to get through to you - a parlor is as well not cluttered with all kind of unnecessary furniture on walls - a parlor is for conversation and having tea and biscuits, not to stare into a tv set - that is why it is called a parlor.
that's an odd way to waste space in a house. but you do you
it is hopeless, you simply cannot understand that this is not a matter of practicality, but of style and culture - the charme of a victorian home would be lost, if you would have to furniture it, I guess.
I don't wanna surf the net on my television for the same reason I don't want to urinate into my dishwasher
hahaha, that is a good one
i wouldn't really care to hook a keyboard up to a huge monitor feet away from me either. but that's why they have purpose built interfaces to such screens to facilitate the display of video and audio media... from all types of sources.
The purpose of a parlor is that people living in that house meet and have a chat with each other or even a serious conversation - if there is a tv set, they are likely to use it and the whole purpose of having a room, where one can have this chat and interact with each other would be lost. That nothing distracting is in the room leads to people talking with each other - and that is important, people tend to not talk with each other enough and that lets so many relationships get sour over time. Having a time and place to do that, like tea time in the parlor, is beneficial for a relationship - a tv set in that room would be counter-productive.
