IKEA FLAT PACK NIGHTMARE

Got something to say, but it's not classic related? Here's the place to discuss. Also includes the once ever-so-popular word association thread... (although we've had to start from scratch with it - sorry!)

You need written instructions for Ikea stuff? There's no words because it's cheaper to make a single pictogram version that can be used in all markets.
…that's why Allegro will look as good 5 years from now as it does today.
If I was allowed a sigpic, this would be it

I do like Ikea breakfasts though.
Agreed. 'cept I have a laptop cos I can't be bothered lugging my desktop around, it weighs about the same as me!
And I did try to, it just didn't work very well :P

My desktop is definitely more portable than it is!

Completely agree Jim, and they're so messy if you spill the coal during the bit of the startup sequence that requires getting the boiler up to pressure.

Oh wait; I may just have been thinking about steam engines there, it's so easy to confuse 'pooters with those you see........

(Apologies to the forum's many Portuguese members for my use of that word...) :oops:

You have to understand the Swedish mentality - that any part although it may look the wrong size can always be made, adapted or bent to fit in anywhere. This is why they made so many porn movies there too.

Probably explains the meat balls they serve up in the restaurant as well..... :shock:
Landrovers and Welding go together like Bread and Butter. And in the wet they are about as structurally sound

Biting. It's like kissing except there's a winner
