I'm now convinved that IKEA is Swedish for "practical joke"

I always end up with leftover bits and peices after an IKEA session.

A few more and I can make a collage.

i got a 5 x 5 ikea bookshelf, fuck, could have easily made a british TV sitcom episode out of the couple of hours I spent building it in my room.

Its a nightmare isn't it.

It seems the Swedes can make things cheap but forget to add practical usage into the equation

No wonder their army only has those bloody knives to defend themselves.

funny, I've never had any problems with ikea furniture. so long as you make sure you have ALL the bits then its not too much problem to assemble anything.

and i've got the 5x5 bookshelf and bed too (not the same bed, but a bed from ikea).

mrj · Post by **mrj** » Mon Jul 17, 2006 1:27 pm

The main problem for us was we didn't have an electric drill.

Some of those pieces can be a right pain (literally) to assemble if you are screwing in everything by hand. I have a massive blister coming up in the middle of my palm from the force I had to use the screwdriver with.

Hate that. Once bitten its gets swollen and shit and so is easier to bite again, which invariably happens.

Im still laughing in fact - technology gets dumb arse - better call the fucking newspaper.

And no reply again from them asking them to help me. Someone pretends to be from that company and apparently they have no responsibilty for it. Yeah, awesome. Thanks a lot, feels good to know that if you dont understand something, dont have a fucking computer degree or simply trust information you get, you get left in the dark to fix it yourself and just get arse raped.

Glad im not actually a disadvantaged person, god knows what lack of assistance this fucked up society and world would give you.

it wouldn't look good as a side-line thing at all? i know you want to be a serious journo, but it can't hurt to broaden your horizons sometimes.

maybe i should stop pushing for you to have this experience, i just think it would be a fuckin rad one. meet different people and such. okay i'll be quiet now

ummmm, dude, are you serious? Whether you do the thing or not it's no big deal. You aren't really going to make this dude too much money really, by just writing a travelogue

, I don't think so. You will feel better for keeping your "integrity" but your not really gunna lose it if you do it either. It's all much of a muchness. Basically do what you think is rightt, don't let other people with their own agendas tell you what is right and/or wrong.

trust yourself to make the right descision what ever that may be.

Heh. I'd probably go over there, then come back and do a big dump on the whole thing and my conscience would be clear.

But it's more the perception than anything else. Pretty much the only thing that makes a good journalist (apart from the ability to write pretty sentences) is credibility. That'd be shot all to hell if I went on some rad trip at the dude's expense.

And no, I can't give you their numbers. That's classified information.

And I don't have 'em anyways... I lost my phone a while's back and haven't seen either of them since.

Switch hold switch so that the orange part is covered
Hold down both the menu and select button together for 20 secs-

Heh, same happened to mine 3 months after I got it and I called the hotline and under MUCH duress he told me to try that. Then commented that if I needed help in future I should purchase the helpline cover for $50 per year

Told him to go and get farked and scribbled down the process, just in case of times like this Glenny
