i fell over and knocked my mates tv on the floor when i was pissed, at the time he had no job no money,he called me a cunt and laughed about it even though he was pissed off with me, he didn't mention anything about replaceing it but i done what all mates do and replaced it next day even though i couldn't really afford it. imo he shouldn't have asked you to pay for it, but you should replace it, even if it's with a cheep one for now if you have little money.
