After today's revelations about terror attacks in Sweden, AIBU to refuse to shop at a certain furniture shop which is clearly part of the problem with a name like AL IKEA? I believe that it's all part of a plot to cause us to become dependent on their meat balls and Billy bookcases.

Oh God, I have a Liatorp bookcase. With actual books in it. Some of them are science books, about the Big Bang and evolution. The CIA are coming for me, aren't they?

Actually I think there was a white supremacist attack in Sweden recently, but that is hardly the sort of thing that Trump would get excited about.

President Trump. One Dowell short of a flat pack..

I know somebody who has an Ikea bed. Are they part of a sleeper cell?

When my ex moved out (finally) I and a friend helped (amicably). Ex informed my friend that I enjoyed putting al IKEA together. apparently this is my superpower and you'll have to take my Allan key collection 'from my cold dead hands'

ArfGrin Donald Trump just keeps giving. Keep him President for comedy value.

We were evacuated from IKEA Gateshead as far back as July. Never did find out why.

This is the best thread. Fact!

LoisWilkersonsLastNerve · 20/02/2017 00:02

No, I have Alternative Facts that this thread is not funny and must be shut down and fenced off with a wall of Billy Bookcases.

I used to carry the boys' shit around in a toolstation "weapons of mass construction" bag.

A Billy bookcase - well, putting it up - always causes major conflict.

Is he 'Putin' his hand in the deers mouth?

AGnu · 20/02/2017 01:17

It's not the Swedish people's fault, it's all the illegals. They bad hombres, y'know. You know they are, you hear about it everywhere in the fake news, which is still fake but the illegals coming into the country are still bad. It's true. I mean, we won the election by the greatest margin in the history of the world. No-one has ever been more popular, that's what I've been told anyway. But it's so sad what's happening in Sweden. So sad. We should all go buy stuff in IKEA to help the Swedish economy recover. But only do that when they've shut their borders, which we're going to make them do to keep them safe, & got rid of all of the illegals, all of them. Just ship them right out, back home. To their own homes & their old jobs. But once they're all out, way out, Ivanka will start designing a special range of furniture that'll be made in the USA, aren't those wonderful words, folks, just beautiful. And Ivanka will sell her new range in IKEA exclusively in the USA so we can show our support to those overseas who can't be as lucky as we all are to live in the greatest country on earth that's just going to keep getting greaterer because we're going to do that, we are. Bigly. I don't have any exact details of how we're going to do that yet but trust me, we're working things out. The fake media & others are trying to stop us but we won't let that happen. We're going to make America great again!!!!!!!

"I can build a full height Billy bookcase in 40 minutes by myself. I am clearly part of a terror cell and must be neutralised"

OMG YouTheCat has admitted the ghastly truth.

They are among us

Quick

Put it on you Ikea-ist now, failing that perhaps you could fashion some kind of orange and kumquat hairpiece? 🍊 🍑🥕💆

You need mark yourself out so we can see the scary people hiding in our midst.

(Confession in a very small voice, I like putting together flatpack furniture... shhhh).
