Quality

Sweden eh, land of fjords, reliable cars and home of the Visigoths, Ostrogoths and douchegoths. A land of inexplicable beauty, from what I can tell via Google images that is, and the birth place of ABBA. I've met some Swedish people and they were OK despite being a bit severe and somewhat stern in their outlook. As a race of people you wouldn't say they are the most romantic, I'm sure they are individually when they need to be, but when you compare them to the passionate Italians or amorous French they come up short.

This is never more evident when you look at Ikea's St Valentines day offering...

Ha, superb! Actually now that I think about it does this say more about the Irish or the Swedes? Crikey...

    Don’t knock it. It says “loved ones” [plural] A bloke in my situation has to cosider bulk cost. It has the added advantage of having somewhere to hide when they all meet in the same place too.

    Yeah, it sounds okay but try assembling it from the instructions.

  23. Ikea is the least romantic place I can think of on this earth. Something about the atmosphere in there just makes my blood pressure rise and veins start throbbing in my temple immediately I walk in the door. Last time I went me & Mr rubbishknitter argued all the way round and ended up queueing in separate queues for about half an hour, forlornly clutching our flimsy wooden shelving units and multipacks of blunt scissors.

  24. Little Miss Manuel says:

    @Rubbishknitter,I am so with you on that!!!! I can’t stand it! Me and Manuel always end up walking round and i lose the plot once we hit the picture frame section! He loves going!

  25. Manuel says:

    shhhhhh with the secrets little one….heh
