Arrived 5 mins ago, had to sign for it (I made the mistake of ordering online remember) and :drum roll:
No surround sound just the cellotape. LoL! mugged again! I knew when I saw the size of the parcel the disappointment that awaited me. I mean I've heard of micro systems but no way could it be this small
Could have bought about 10 rolls of the market for this price LoL

I went into Staples the shop on Saturday to buy a new office chair, stood around for 10 minutes waiting for a staff member (any staff member) so I could buy it. Eventually someone showed up and then disappeared again 
walked out and drove 30 miles to Ikea and spent my money there instead.
