I've never been to IKEA myself. Might just go someday to see what all the fuss is about.

A new Danish furniture shop called ILVA has opened in Manchester. Very posh. I bet it's expensive. I am sure the wife will want to visit soon. I hate shopping. :cry:

Neither have I, thats why I don't own any of their stuff :-D

I'm not a big shopping fan either, unless I'm looking at uber expensive Nikkor glass, fortunately the missus isn't a big shopper too :-)

Edit...Indeed they are expensive, I had a quick look at their bar stools (thats sounds awful) and they look waaaaay to arty-farty to me.

[GadgetMaster]

Arty Farty Bar Stools .. Sounds digusting indeed  :-x

:-P

Yes, they are bloomin' expensive too. I'm sure the £78  Koko bar stool is exactly the same as one I bought from another shop for £25.  It was just the right height for my workshop bench.

I think I have a good enough excuse to avoid the place now.   Thanks! :-D




[EDIT]

Oh!,  and to remain on topic.. Yes the stool was flat packed, beleive it or not.

Don't judge me too harshly, mate. It was cheap and I needed in a hurry...

The rest of that paragraph is a blur. Just this section has enough double meaning to keep me rolling on the floor for days :lol:

No ones being judged here, just making a point. I'm sure we've all had times when we've needed something cheap and quick :lol:

Well, it did the job anyway :-)

Aye! Depending on the type of job it can be quite handy I guess. Would blow the competition away when it comes to these types of things. :laugh:

The one I took the picture of is limited only by the strength in your arm ;-)

I keep two charged batteries and one of these handy!

Thats one fine looking piece of hardware :-o

Bit overkill for putting in a few screws though, eh?

Well, you can hardly expect Dirty Harry to hold up a mouldy toothpick and say 'Go ahead, make my day.'
Dirty Harry is not complete without the meanest hardware, everybody knows that.

Sure, but technically the hardware displayed so far have been *drills* not *screwdrivers* ;-)

Of course, you can fit screwdriver heads to them but that isn't the point. Powered tools are to DIrtY Harry what a submachine gun would be to Harry Calahan.

Did you see Calahan with an automatic weapon? Did you? Well, did you, punk?

Of course not. DIrtY Harry has no need for such contrivences, either :-P
