Yuck. I think you and that sleazebag with the high sex drive are one and the same

Peckhamgatecrasher is right. If it is old, worn out, and you spent many weekends hunting high and low in vintage shops, flea markets, etc then it's awesome. It doesn't matter if it's too big or it sags in the middle, just imagine telling all your great chums how you stumbled across it and just had to have it!


However, if you order one from a regular shop then it's tasteless mass produced junk.

Ha Ha


I think what Jeremy is getting at is: Why spend a few hours looking for a tasteful leather sofa which will last you twenty years when you can spend the whole day going to Ikea to buy a horrible one for the same price - that lasts two years, and was shite in the first place.


Right, Jeremy?

Oi, when we first moved into the house we bought we literally filled it to the brim with Billy bookcases.

They're brillyant (geddit).


We slept in them, bathed among them, even put ornaments and books on some of them. And the best bit is that you can make a nice fire out of them after two weeks when they all fall apart.


Geni?s!!

I love Ikea, Jeremy - for some things. But ultimately it's a false economy, in terms of time and money. If (for the sake of argument) you get all your furniture there, I'll warrant that you'll spend more time going there, and more money re-buying furniture than I will during my lifetime.


So (putting the element of 'taste' aside, which is personal of course) your usual arguments of 'not being able to afford it' or 'not having the time' simply don't cut the mustard.


RE leather sofas, I believe the height of manfacturing excellence to the 1970s-1980s, where (Keef) I believe your wishes for soft, cosy leather could be accommodated - in style.

New sprayed leather as opposed to Tanned hide is not that nice ( a little sweaty unless you wish to invest serious money )

We have a couple of danish 60/70's vintage Stouby leather sofa's & they are quite beautifully distressed, in the winter we have dark brown sheepskin rugs on them .Add a log fire & you really can't complain about cold/ hot scenario




Grr

Have you considered hiring-out for porn shoots? There's good money in it. Or if not, you can at least stay and watch.

I now see where you're coming from but I'm afraid that your reply to PGC's deco taste contained about as much sarcasm and 'Klippancy' as a Swedish furniture designers sense of humour. If in future you want a post/message to convey a sense of either sarcasm or flippancy then I suggest think a little bit harder regarding the posts content and how it matches/mocks the post you're attempting to get a rise out of as to give us an ikea as to what you're going on about.

Schoolboy error Brendan - blood and sulphuric acid is no good at all for leather

I think we should put a stop to this. This lovely young lady asks a perfectly reasonable question and immediately gets inappropriately propositioned by Mr Wolf. The conversation then swiftly degenerates into people taking baths in amongst objects with frankly mucky sounding Scandinavian names and wild unsubstantiated claims about the physical properties of mustard. Then quids decides to do a Freddy Kruger on my old sofa.


Enough already.

    • Since you’re clearly not experiencing what we are I’m not sure I agree with any of your points. I also asked for anyone else having a similar problem… it’s absolutely fine if you’re not but I’d appreciate less of the “go live your life”. There is no need to comment with that tone, it doesn’t provide us with any help for the matter. Nor is it polite. We’re a very kind family simply not wanting damage and don’t find the actions necessary. It’s been the same driver/delivery for a while and this never used to happen. I wouldn’t post this on the forum if it wasn’t getting so frustrating. Again, the kids and myself have kindly asked for this to stop a few times with no success. We all work hard for our living and would never want (nor are we trying) to rid someone of their livelihood. But similarly, I don’t find it fair. Please feel free to PM me if anyone has any advise or shares the same.  
    • And now we have the worst labour government in many many decades who, by moving to your position on the right, are ushering in a far right reform government. Well done you.
    • You implied he did a good job in your first paragraph when you said you would have hated to see Corbyn lead the country through Covid - the alternative being Johnson, presumably? With the results we all saw. Unite - you have a problem with unions? Who work hard to see that their members get a fair deal in their workplace? How exactly are these people and groups "all as bad as each other"? In what way? Labour "purging their party of the far-left" has given us a weak prime minister who has apparently deserted any "left" (aka caring for other people and having decent moral principles) leanings he ever had. Which is why people appear to be leaving Labour in droves and voting, or intending to vote, Green or Lib Dem or for an independent Left candidate. Starmer has shot himself in the foot, in my opinion. But what would I know. What worked?! I don't know enough about what you are talking about to comment, but "believing" you know the reason someone did something does not make it true. I don't believe that Corbyn ever got "starstruck" or "forgot about his politics", but if you can provide evidence that those things are true, then fair enough. I don't think you can, though.
    • I think you need to get a grip If it's who I am thinking of, she's a young black girl in her twenties, has braids with bright colours through them and - I suspect - works with her father. It's always the same man behind the wheel and he's older than her, always in the same van, so I'm assuming it's a father-daughter combo which, if it is, I think is rather sweet.  They hustle hard in a job that is poorly paid, has little prospects, is relentless and thankless. The fact that they have stuck it out since the pandemic says a lot about them.  I think she's a lovely girl, who's perhaps a little shy - but she'll smile or chat back if you make the effort with her. And I admire her for sticking with that job for so long. Perhaps she's just one of these people who's naturally a bit clumsy or bashes things, the same way some people are heavy on their feet when they walk. But I wouldn't dream of jeopardising her job because she closes the slams the gate and doesn't 'kiss' the ring doorbell with her fingers.  Perhaps she's being passive aggressive because you are. And perhaps she also wishes she got to spend her time worrying about potential damage to her letterbox or her gate.  As for your gate / letterbox - you're talking about hypotheticals. Has there been any damage? No. Then go and live your life and worry about it when it happens.  (apols we have the wrong person, but some of my points still stand).
