What a horrible ****ing shop <ok>

Everytime I'm told we need a new wardrobe/bed/lampshade it's always "Lets have a look round Ikea"

How about **** off?

It's like the furniture equivalent of Iceland:

There is only one aisle for you to walk down meaning you are herded through the shop like cattle
Its full of morons who think they are experts and/or are smelly tramps on the waiting list for jeremy Kyle
The products are ****, in Ikeas case half the wooden stock is barely wood!!!
Theres always seems to be 2/3 people on the till & about 10 tills not open

Even the hotdogs you get at the end have gone **** compared to a few years ago at Ikea.
 
I've never been because I couldn't give two ****s about furniture. Swedish ****s make boring ****e anyway. Ikea, Volvo, Saab.

The only good Swedish product is the Marabou chocolate they sell on this platform. Kicks the arse out of British chocolate.
 
We don't have a car & its pissing miles away which always makes me laugh about suggesting it.

Her sister would give us a lift there but has a toyota Yaris so quite limited as to what you can buy <doh>

Never bought anything from there even when we have gone so don't understand why she keeps suggesting the ****ing place!
 
when we bought our flat i had a van for moving in then the next day we went to ikea to buy all the furniture for a 2 bedroom flat <yikes>

its was terrible. we were there for hours. pretty much filled the van with flat pack **** but even then we sacked it about 4/5 through as mrs.lr looked like she was going to have a nervous breakdown after 3 hours (me and my mate trolley surfing didnt seem to realx her either).

THE. WORST. 3. HOURS. OF. MY. LIFE.
 
Don't you think its horrible in there LR?

The way you have to walk through the whole shop, no shortcuts at all & its always ****ing stuffy.

Great marketing though, the way they organise the products in order that your mrs brain thinks....."That beds the one, perfect............that throw would look lovely on the bed we've chosen........& we'll get some of those cushions that are for show........

****ing ****s.
 
what i dont like is that it turns you into a complete ****** from entry to exit until you find yourself in the car park 4 hours after you went in holding star shaped ice tray and a lamp wondering what the **** just happened.

mrs.lr seems to think ikea is some sort of swedish disneyland <doh><doh><doh><doh>
 
<laugh>

I forgot to mention that.

Hundreds of folk walking round like zombies holding whatever they're passed by their birds & trying to look excited about a curtain rail whilst taking in the positive of pastel colours <laugh>
 
i make a point of being even more of a **** when i go shopping with her to pretty much ensure she thinks twice before asking me along. we havent been back in a couple of years mainly because she cant drive and i flat refuse to take her there.

not on my ****ing watch.
 
A trip to IKEA is a tragic fixture of every home renovation. Without fail I get lost in that store, the place makes me want to curl up and die.

Prices arent even that good either, I've found Homebase are cheaper and better <ok>
 
on the subject of cheap i'll get that £10.50 donation pinged out to you today frank <ok>
 
Never been.

Although, moving next month so I'll have to convince J-Celtic my xenophobia only extends to the idea of foreign manufactured goods. Specifically Sweden.

Should work <ok>
 
I'm doing this for men everywhere.

I shall not let you down.

You trying to out do my tenner to your page? <laugh>

Have you sent your page round anywhere else but here and the facebook group? I'm waiting until I've done a couple of challenges before throwing it around work and other places.
 
****ing right i am <laugh>

just to some mates on FB. need to start actively hasling people though. i'll ping it around work just before the WHW and will just guilt them all into giving cash. need to organise a visit to erskine but generally a bit tight on time! going to do a 30m tab tomorrow, as ever cannot be ****ed! not going to have trained as much as i would have liked but getting some good painkillers off my dad so can easily do the last 30 in a drug induced daze <ok>
 
Thankfully the one in bristol has short cuts. You can also get into the collection area without walking through the whole shop

Why millions go there though is beyond me! there stuff is ****e. good only for the kids rooms as its replaced annually
 
The cancer research dude said I should get someone else to PR the page and push people into giving money. I havent found anyone that'll do it so was going to ask him! Might be an idea if you know anyone with a lot of contacts.

My trainings going well so far, its just preparation that needs done now. Over the next week I need to get myself some equipment and will be buying a whole new batch of comfy thick woolly socks for the trek <ok> Changing socks will be orgasmic after all that walking.
 
remember to get foot powder as well <ok>

not convinced my new boots wont rub but need to keep breaking them in (i'm off to buy compeed tonight after work!). if my mates brother runs support and takes his van then i might take my afghan boots aswell which are comfy as but not waterproof sadly. also need to dig out my old camelbak as my current one tastes of nothing but purification tablets :emoticon-0119-puke:

Marabou chocolate is superb.

My Dad used to bring that home for us 25years ago. Best chocolate going. <ok>
