On a Saturday? Are you mad?

I'd sooner read the thread about Osbourne saying no to whatever it was he said no to.

Thank god I'm single. I told the last girlfriend that brought up the Ikea specter that I'd carry out a dirty protest if forced to go.

Can we have some candles please?
There are actually people who go to that godforsaken hole even when they don't need to.

I went on a Tuesday afternoon and that was bad enough (under my own will as I didn't want to pay £40 for my desk to be delivered). It's depressing, seeing all the whipped men being forced around by their bossy girlfriends. The cake and coffee was alright for cheap though!

IKEA - Just say no

Or as we prefer to call them - PWBs

It's fun to play ikea bingo. Look for arguing couples, teenagers storming off, tantrumming toddlers.

Its been over 10 years since i had to endure the madness of Swedish shopping... I do remember the sensation of finding your car had shrunk when it came to trying to get all of the flat pack cr@p into it.

Did you shortcut? If so, that's cheating, so get back and do it properly.

Yes it is. And it's contagious.

Why women want to drag us around that place or any shop I don't know.
We don't enjoy it , they get the hump when we get the hump.
I always drop them at the door then "spend hours looking for a parking space".

Somafunk, as you get within half a mile of the place you will find yourself inexplicably getting angrier and angrier.

Every time i go, i'm so knackered by halfway round i have to take a quick 40 winks on an aerioplonk or sit for a bit on a solbstrand. Occasionally, i'm so fed up, that even the greomcrunkblonyk starts to look enticing....... 😉

Ikea's ok. Just go when it's quiet. It has a cafe and they look after your kids for free. Win.

We live very near one so we can pop down for some household items easily and enjoy a quiet cuppa at the same time.

Ernie - we know someone who works for Ikea sorting out new sites and stores. He will be disappointed that his store plan has been leaked

You need to be assertive and get your women under control. Just say No! in a firm tone of voice.

Been a while since I've been to Ikea - to be honest thought it was OK, as had pretty good idea what I was looking for, shortcuts are great. Get over it folks!

Dammit, I got 17 out of 20 in the quiz, helped by knowing what "lack" was.

I am sad.

I like ikea 😳

I get very cheap cookwear which is great for use in the lab. eg the 80p glass plate is perfect for putting on resin/solvent scales to protect them from drips and the pyrex baking dishes make good trays to use in the fume cabinet.

I also dont mind dunelm mill. Useful for things that are hard to find elsewhere 😳

The above just makes me feel if i'm missing out on something?, i drove past a Dunhelm Mill in Dumfries once - it looked like a post apocalyptic [b][i]50% off[/i][/b] panoramic scene from a bad B-Movie.

Ever tried that tactic with your mother? Mine came over from Aussie for a visit and on day two insisted on visiting Ikea. She spent £40 (which is like a million Aussie dollars or something) on a few bits and pieces. We. Were. There. For. Four. Hours.

You know that Furkantig means “square” in Swedish to describe the candles that you have on your altar. And above it? The raddest picture of Euronymous ever. Seriously, you scare children and their parents alike, all while wowing them with your design sense. Please check out our agency site. We’d be honored.

Until the light takes us, Your friends at Gatesman+Dave.

OK I've never bought anything from Ikea & have no desire to do so now! Oh and my wife is of the same opinion if only because she has a design degree in printed fabrics so has some very rigid opinions 😮

If you take a shortcut in Ikea, you find it does not take you where you thought it would. When you realize your mistake and retrace your steps you don't end up back where you were.

I like wandering round Ikea taking photos, just for ideas. The comp is to see how long it takes the store manager to find you. hiding in the giant plants is cheating btw.

Also, playing bogie in ikea passes the time quite effectively.

mum refuses to take me or dad now.

You just have to know how to play, boys

Right….I'm sold on the concept - it's a time travelling, conciseness bending experience that leaves you bewildered and missing the last 4hrs of your life whilst opening up the pandora's box of questioning your own existence?, , sounds like a ****in plan to me………that sounds way better than the 3 microdot challenge we used to play.

As it's now mushroom season perhaps a trip to ikea after brewing up 500 shrooms could lead to an excellent adventure… 😀 or a weekend in the cells…….. 🙁

Don't like IKEA.

Their toilets don't flush and they're out in the open. 😈

Impatient persons guide to purchasing from Ikea.

1.Know what you want before leaving the house.
Find the item on the website and make a note of the exact name.

2.Go straight to the tills.
Follow the signs for the food store. (Important: this is not the same as the restaurant.)

3.Make sure that the check out queues aren't too long. Be prepared to abandon the quest at this point.

4. Go into the store, past the tills. Yes this is the exit, but conventional thinking is not your friend in Ikea.

5. Find a terminal.
You are now in the warehouse area and the place is littered with them.

6. Look up the item name you noted earlier.
You did remember to write it down, didn't you?

7. Locate item, pay and exit as usual.

My record for successful shopping in Ikea is less than 15 minutes.
