What MakesThe Ultimate Batchelor Pad ?
#1
So far in the living room I've got the essentials i.e a big TV, surround sound speakers, dvd player, PS2, etc
Also got a black leather sofa, groovy cocktail table...
I know a fridge dedicated to beer is a must , but struggling with other items...FHM did a feature ages ago but I can't remember what else I need
...any ideas
Regards,
Matt

Well, I'm doing a similar thing...
Nice location and nice appt (on shore of lake ontario, 10 mins from downtown toronto)
Got the kick *** home cinema setup, and nice leather sofabed (for 'guests' )
Got nice cool glass coffee table.
Huge fridge for beer and sod 'real' food.
Nice big comfy kingsize bed.
Some nice chairs and table on the balcony for outside entertaining.
hmm, think I just need a swedish maid to keep it all in order

broadband, plugged into a dedicated media pc(silent running ofcourse), we run divx movies, radio streams all sorts of stuff off it - if your clever you can run it wireless with a pda for control

You're all forgetting.
You'll be needing a triple garage, one for the pride & joy, one for a kick *** pick-up truck, leaving space for the jet-ski, quad, dirtbike, windsurfer and mountain bikes.

All these gadgets in the place will attract blokes, not women.
Therefore you should paint the walls in nice pastel colours, put lots of flowers in the room and leave copies of 'OK' and cosmo in the loo.

<Makes lots of notes> I should be completing on my new house this time next week.
So far got the DVD and AV Amp with 5.1 speaker setup. I suppose I should buy a fridge next though...

Circle bath which doubles as a jacuzzi. Stainless steele smeg fridge. Touch screen monitor inbedded in everywall that will control Tv/Hi Fi sounds in each room. Speakers in each room embedded in the wall, subwoofer submerged in ground under sette for the ultimate 5.1 rumbling effect, which can double as a massaging chair.

You want a full Crestron system then. Touchscreens that can control everything. We are putting a system in for a guy at the moment where he can shut the windows, lock them and then close the curtains. All from a touchscreen at the side of his bed. He also has three home cinema systems whilst the rest of the house is stereo. All the rooms have touchscreens in wth a "walkabout" one for the swimming pool and garden.
