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.

    • Yes, because of course there were no violent robberies in the olden days. Pretty much no crime happened at all I believe through the entire Victorian era.
    • Hi all, Im a Southwark council leaseholder and live downstairs in a ground floor flat, there is one flat above me, it's a house with individual front doors leading from the street into the shared pathway. My neighbour told me he has had a ring doorbell installed, no discussion as to how I would feel being on camera everytime I go in and out or in my front garden. I was told it's only for deliveries and doesn't record and only activates when pressed, however I don't know this and I feel really uncomfortable everytime I'm out in garden or on doorstep talking to people. Everytime I walk in/out, it lights up and in the eve it has a  infra red  light. Now I've read up that as he said its only for deliveries, he could set it so it only activates when pressed, however it activates with its motion sensor. Had he said to me about getting it installed, I could have had the opportunity to ask about it recording etc but nothing except it's being installed and when I arrived home it was there. I don't like being horrible to people however I feel I have not been considered in his decision and I feel very uncomfortable as, some times I have to stand on doorstep to get signal for my mobile and I really don't like the idea of being watched and listened to. Has anyone got any advice as I'm beginning to get angry as I've asked about it once and was told it only activates when pressed. I believe this is not true. I know southwark council say you need to ask permission to make sure the neighbours are OK with it, I don't really want to go down that road but I don't know how to approach the subject again. They also put a shed approx 3 foot from my back room window, these places are built so my window faces their rear garden and there upstairs window  faces mine. They said it's there temporarily, that was over a year ago and it does affect the light, plus I'm hoping to sell up soon and the view from window is mainly a dark brown shed. When I've mentioned this, I was told they have no where else to put it, whereas originally they said its only temporary, Also the floorboards above are bare and I get woke early morning and at night, the thudding is so bad my light shakes and window rattles, so I mentioned this and asked if they have rugs, I was told when they get the boards re sanded they will get rugs, I should have asked if they could get rugs and just take them up when boards being done, which I would have done had it been me living above someone, their attitude was I can just put up with it until they are ready. so they had the floor boards done, and the workmen was hammering screws, yes screws, in the floorboards, I spoke to workmen to ask how much longer and they said yes, are using screws to make less noise! I could hear the cordless screwdriver, not an issue but for every screw there were at least 8 whacks, the owners had gone out to avoid the noise  so I  spoke to workmen as the noise was unbearable, the sanding, not an issue at all, people need to get things done to their home and I'm fine that on occasions there will be temporary noise. now I have a nice crack on my bedroom ceiling, I mentioned this to owner but no response, he said there were alot of loose floorboards and it will be much better now, not so noisy, as though I don't know the difference between squeaking floor boards and thudding, and nothing was mentioned re the crack or that they now have rugs, which if it were me, I'd be trying to resolve the issue so we can get on with feeling happy in our homes. so I'm feeling it's a total lack of consideration. these places are old and Edwardian and I've lived here over 40 years, had 4 different neighbours and it's only now the noise of thudding is really bad and the people before had floorboards but nothing like this. As you can probably tell I'm really wound up and I don't want to end up exploding at them, I've always got on with neighbours and always said if there's a problem with my dog, pls let me know, always tell me, however I feel it's got to the point where I say something and I'm fobbed off. I know I should tell them but I'm angry, perhaps I should write them a letter. Any suggestions greatly appreciated and thank you for reading my rant. 
    • Sadly, the price we now all pay for becoming a soft apologetic society.
    • Exactly the same thing happened to me a few years back; they were after my Brompton. Luckily there were only 3 of them so I managed to get away and got a woman to call the police, then they backed off, but not after having hit me in the back of the head first. Police said next time just give them what they want, but I sure as hell wasn't just going to hand over my bike to them!
