Random Irritations

Wouldn't be 2026 without a bit of rain would it....

Last time I went to an IKEA I swore I would never go to one again.......

So annoyed I walked out without picking up the parts I wanted. Bloody ridiculous one way system.

There are shortcuts all over the store, mainly for the benefit of staff but they're not highlighted.
Every time I've used one I eventually realise I'm back where I was 15mins ago.

If I know what I want from IKEA, I get the locations from the website and then go in via the tills and grab it as soon as it opens. More recently I’ve used the delivery to a local supermarket service, really easy.

My recent experience of more than one IKEA store is that they’ve opened up obvious shortcuts - possibly to placate grumpy blokes getting dragged around the store by their beloved.

Any pain incurred due to IKEA is self inflicted, so serves you right.
Even their advertising is vomit inducing.

Since when has saving a mates space at the front for a concert whilst she goes to the toilet been a thing?

Probably since time began!! No different to saying sorry mate that’s seats taken when waiting for a pal at a pub or restaurant

A square about. No body knows how to use it and it doesn't appear in the Highway Code. Stop....Go....Stop....Go....Wave....Close eyes and proceed.....

Not sure why? (There are two reasons, one of which would get this removed. The other one is ok.)

Religious people in authority in the US letting their made up book dictate foreign policy in the Middle East.
The end is nigh if these nutters get their way.

I was going to put this in the Andrew Thread but it is now closed. ( no surprise there). Anyway.
On April 16th, 8 of me pals and wives etc are coming over from Italy for 4 days. Tash is the mini bus driver to pick them up at the airport, take to York for the day. And spend a day at a football match doing the English thing going to the pub etc. looks like being Mansfield v Luton. So as the conversation is winding down I asked Vicenzo how he is going on.
He then mentioned the problem his company is going through and it was big. Apparently his boss of DP world has had to resign. He said the crap has hit the fan big style re this. Not just America, UK, and Norway that has had problems.
