...but I think it's dead.






Ideas on a postcard on how to get it out?! biggrin

It's 5-6 year old Philips 42" if it makes any difference - not sure what you can do to help, tbh, but I thought someone might find it amusing! I've tried sending the cat in after it, but he's not keen.

I meant do the vibrations of you hitting it move its body, not does it wake up and move.

I know! biggrin

It moved about half an inch downwards when first biffed with a vigorous finger. However I fear I may have to wait until it has decomposed further before it continues on its way down.

What you should do, to freak everyone out, is video yourself at just the right angle making flicking movements with your finger and calling out to the wife/family.Then, play the video back on the tv and when they enter the room, you will appear to be inside the TV trying to sort out the problem hehe
