I mean, not all of its good. some of it is kack but surely life without ikea would be awful. Surely you need ikea to fill in some of those gaps around the home ie: that spare bedroom that you want to look nice but don't want to spend alot of money or the great kids room stuff for super cheap.

... not to mention the meatballs and new potatoes in the cafe.

And.... how can you have never been!!?

Moondog said what I was thinking - who is Cliff?

CliffRichardSucksEggsinHell · 22/11/2005 10:52

I am the Light, I am the Way, the Truth! Join hands with me and we shall sing 'Mistletoe and Wine' whilst praising the Lord Almighty and me, his Beloved Son!

Totally agree, now let me just find and dust off that old address book.....

I think Cliff is Rhuby.

i go about once every 5 years (max)

i reckon that on any given day at any time at least 20% of the UK population are in an IKEA.

DaddyCoolNippingAtYourNose · 22/11/2005 11:15

i buy these little cinnamon rolls called 'gifflar' in the food shop. i also like their little cakes and jam.

(i'm turning into a woman. this site is warping me badly)
