Lockdown 2.1 and everyone on the VCB is comparing HDMI cables. I'm on the edge of my seat with unbridled excitement. I mean I don't know how I'm keeping it in.
Which is better, the silver-plated $800 variety, or the one Steve's mate got down the Pound Shop? I wonder. Oh and someone's just found a diamond-braided one worth $1200. Such a rollercoaster. Someone's left a review on the website:
"I’ve been searching for ways to spend my extra fortune, and I had never even considered silver HDMI cables! I ordered a few of these for the palace. I can quit burning my extra money in large barrels outside now!"
By the way, I'm calling it Lockdown 2.1 because I'm counting the days and this is the first day after 0 (it started yesterday): we're not a tenth of the way through, don't worry.
Who in the world needs a diamond-braided HDMI cable? The chaps are still chuckling about it, with an air of exaggerated superiority. That could never happen to them; they'd never be conned of course.
"I've bought cars for less than that!" spurted Mr Pub Quiz, incredulously. Quite.
There's some debate now about how long this second national lockdown will last. Officially, says the government of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, until the 4th of December, giving us a few weeks rest, and then another few weeks of manic Christmas - perfect for all our super-spreader events, family parties, and crammed-in shopping excursions. There'll so be a 3.0 won't there - all of us sitting at home once again with Netflix and a stack of DVDs.
Maybe I'd better get myself a proper HDMI cable.
