Nice 3:30am wake up call, when a deck 10 cabin decided to self combust. This was after it was nearly out.

Been on this one a few times under this and its old name CB, so probably have paid enough to own a bit of it.
The moral to this story is when you're tv decides to commit suicide by fire, don't rip it off the wall and throw it out on the balcony, with the rubber matting and plastic furniture, put a bit more effort in a chuck it overboard.
