'Awesome collectible' (review) A bobblehead. Would you buy one, OA?

IKEA’s founder, Ingvar Kamprad, was a member of a fascist Swedish movement in WW2

I am now assembling 2 of Ingvar’s chests of drawers

This is an unpleasant task - assembling a small Billy bookcase tests my skills

I wonder IF Ingvar’s coffin arrived in a flat pack? iF it was missing an Allen key?

Food for thought indeed WBW. Not sure I will frequent IKEA again with the knowledge with which you have now provided me.

evidently there are "pox" parties in the US where people gather to get a particular virus so they get immunity......there is logic somewhere in there

I think that was K-pax, not pox.

Good luck to them.
Moreso, good luck to their elderly relations, their workmates and anyone they infect.
Only in America would you find such selfish morons.

He was 16 when he joined up. 16, in a world at war. Not the best age or environment to make a rational decision.

technically no..... they were american

Very true.

Downsize, streamline, and simplify is my motto going forward.

I have too many "things" that add only clutter and stress.

Nothing like the stress of a move to bring all that to the fore.

Everytime the family has relocated it has been to upsize; next time won't be.

It’s a trifle depressing throwing away a large skip load of semi useful if superfluous stuff because you have purchased a smaller place with insufficient storage to accommodate even half your belongings. Sure you collect a lot of shit overtime but it’s nice to have a place spacious enough to comfortably hold all your things without feeling oversupplied with memorabilia and general stuff. At the same time, we do make a burden of our lives by retaining more than we can ever reasonably use. But saying goodbye to the past can be hard.

Letting go is hard, and it is a much greater challenge for some. My wife and father-in-law are incapable of throwing anything away. Letting go is easier for me; changing schools 7 times my during primary/high school years set me up with strong detachment kung fu.

You are fortunate your wife is not a hoarder like my friend's wife. She won't let anything go and with 6 children, that can mean a lot of junk, mess and filth to wade through in the house, or store in garbage bags, old cupboards and wardrobes, roof cavities and 6 old cars that were still on their block brim full of rubbish. Occasionally neighbours would call in human services, but as their first point of call was always the fridge, and she maintained a healthy stock of food, they'd leave without hauling the kids along with them and perhaps get a Christian group to do a follow up. The ashtray in the console of the car resembled a mini Mt Everest, consisting of chewing gum pieces piled on top of one another mixed with butts.

When she moved house after a marital split, her ex cleaned out the old place, but the floor boards had not seen the light of day for years, let alone felt the touch of a broom or the head of a vacuum cleaner sweeping over its surface, and severe rot had set in. Then the termites were discovered in the walls.

Salvation arrived one night in the guise of a savage storm, uprooting a monstrous gum tree, plunging it through the length of the house and narrowly missing my mate and his little dog perched in front of the pot belly in a corner of the home. His wife's new house though more spacious is as overflowing with junk as the old one, and though all but one of the kids have moved out, 4 dogs took their place and their faeces compete for space with the smell of rotting clothes and assorted rubbish.

Meanwhile, the old house is being replaced by the insurance company with a new one, with as many rooms and a swimming pool. My mate cried at the loss of precious family memories, but from where I sit, the falling tree had the life changing effect of winning a lottery.

well it seems that everyone's ancestry can be traced back to africa.... except for a percentage of people in certain US southern states....

Back in the eighties when the Coodabeens were on 3RRR, a character called Massive phoned in.

He described a favourite meal: hollow out a large crunchy loaf of bread; fill it with hot chips; then deep fry the lot.

Think he then sauced it, wrapped it in foil, and took it to Moorabbin to watch Tony Lockett.

We need Massive to post some pictures on here, so we can rate his cooking and then have Gimp arbitrarily rank him on the Gimp ladder.

Yep Massive Merv from Moorabbin. His shtick was to was end all his "recipes" with ..."then deep fry it, in batter"

Ummm..... do people actually think these people on the “phone in” actually existed?
Do they not understand the program?

I doubt there is anyone out there that believes they are real callers.

But...but...one posts on here, Timmy from Thomastown. That’s proof he’s a real person!!!!
