The number of the beast is 666

That's the code number on the flat-pack computer station I have just assembled. 4 hours of HELL

How can they spend so much time designing furniture and spend 30 seconds on the destruction leaflet?

Plus, as soon as chalk posts, it'll be an out of date figure too!

Ikea is ancient scandanavian for "missing one valuable piece of wood, 4 unique screws and with instructions translated by a third world worker for 1p per hour".

Gill. If you go for the minimalist look-ie one cushion on the floor, it's well cheap and dusting is easy, (if you've got laminate flooring, that is), you tie a duster on each foot,walk to your cushion and sit down to WAB all day.

Re: The number of the beast is 666

The Sky bloke will conect evry ting up to every thing.
Now when it is all set up, if you want to watch a DVD . Be sure to turn your sky off but leave the TV on, otherwise you will get the Sky TV cutting in half way into your DVD film because you forgot you had timed some thing in or some thing.
