IKEA ....

Had my first visit to IKEA this evening when I was dragged kicking and screaming into the giant Ballymun warehouse!

I have to say I was impressed. Very family orientated, very big and some very nice stuff in it - at very reasonable prices too!

I was majoring on the kitchen section and it looks to me like you can easily get one where herself could be reaching the sink, cooker and washing machine all at the one time. I was impressed.

Anyone been - what did ye think of it?

ahhh Jayo IKEA's been around here for as long as I remember - hardly a novelty!

although it is the best place to go if you need free pencils.

Big job?

No recession in Jayo's house!

I tell ya B&W my quotes are not reflecting the downturn in the building trade ...

And the ransom demands from the other half are not reflecting the downturn in Jayo's pocket ....

Ah sure the poor builders are relying on you to give them the profits they would have taken off ten people two years ago. You can't expect them to go without a new Land Cruiser this year now can you?

And as for herself................ time to reclaim the trousers Jayo!

if your half as smart at your school books as you are with the witty remarks you'll be doing well. I think i hear your mum calling you for your tea.

Speaking of such the last one recorded was in Old Trafford in 2000 when their Dutch defender had to do a urine test. Yep that was the last Stam peed alright!

tea? at half 4?
you must be joking boc - it's at least 6.30 before it's even close to tea...
