I'm looking for a standing floor lamp but I need one with quite a long cable. You'd think the length of the power cable would be pretty essential information on the online descriptions but seemingly not.

IKEA include that.
Yeah but they seemingly don't deliver to my postcode and I'm not going to Belfast just to get a lamp.
I had one picked out on there and everything. :(
Looks like most of their models are also sold on Amazon.
The one I wanted isn't.
Just fucking move already.
For the 15th time this season our game has been moved for Sky cameras. Seriously, fuck Sky, losing some of the Premiership games just means they've started to just bungle Championship games everywhere, sadly looks like we are the chosen ones.
:moop:
We have a grand total of two Saturday away games left this season now.
Says you.Quote:

I'm moving, but I don't think I've really complained much about living here. Certainly not in the way you do about Ballymena. I'd happily stay here if there were comparable job opportunities.
Not sure how universal this one is, but FUCK IT. The fastest growing demographic in our society must be thick twats who've watched a few episodes of the apprentice and dragons' den, have bought a shiny suit and a haircut, and now think they're going to be the new Alan Sugar.
One lad from my school spent most of 2014 spamming facebook for people to get involved with his exciting business (it was a 'fuel treatment' pyramid scheme, which you could find out in about 5 minutes of googling). Eventually he stopped posting about it, presumably realising it was a scam after about 6 months.
He's now apparently launched a new business with a couple of mates. I'm not entirely sure what they do, because it is barely comprehensible, but it is something to do with marketing mobile phone apps. I genuinely DO hope it goes well for him, cus he was always a nice lad, but 'mobile apps' sounds like just about the most obvious thing you'd pick based on what's 'big' if you didn't actually have specialist knowledge and 'marketing' the obvious route you'd go if you didn't really know anything about them either.
I don't think I know many people like that, but the Cult of Enjo seems like a familiar phenomenon. I'm pretty sure every young mother I know spends half their day trying to sell some form of shit cleaning, make up or 'health' product to whoever will listen.
Herbalife is the thing I've seen the most of along those lines.
An old girlfriend got into one of those pyramid things when her parents were schmoozed by some guy who was near the top for Euphony, some kind of phone people. I went to one of their meetings to keep her happy and it was like a weird cult, each speaker getting up with endless enthusiasm and the guy her parents met ending his speech by clapping his hands together, looking to the sky and shouting 'by God I love this company'. I respectfully declined joining but I also wouldn't badger people at work to sign up for her. I blame Euphony for us never marrying. That and her getting bored of me.
I wasn't even complaining about Ballymena here. I'm not that arsed that Ikea don't deliver. I was fucked off about other websites not having the cord length on them.Quote:

They do deliver.
Maybe not everywhere. Dublin didn't until very recently, if they do at all. It wouldn't be so full of depressed men every Saturday and Sunday if they did.Quote:

Don't you have to pay like 40 quid for delivery of anything larger than a pencil from Ikea? Fuck that.
There are a load of 'man-with-van' geezers around here who'll pick up your Ikea shit for you, cheaper than it costs them to deliver (which is extortionate, as Sama says).
I must look into that. €30 a pop :drool:Quote:

40 quid delivery and you don't even get it delivered. What cunts.
My sister likes Easter Island, for whatever reason, so for her birthday I bought her eight miniature stone Easter Island heads. Fuck knows why. Now I have to wrap them all up. For fuck's sake.
Speaking of presents, I need to get my mum something for Sunday. I hate buying for her. It's so difficult.
Because you have no money? :harold:
I've got two jobs. TWO.
Spend less time infecting toilets and you'd earn more.
Just get some shit from Bodyshop or something.
I got her some crap like that at Christmas. Don't think it's been used.Quote:

I'll deliver your Ikea stuff for €30 Boydy. And pick your Ma up something for an extra 30.
€30 is more than the bloody lamp costs.
Actually, speaking of the lamp (I had forgot how this all started), can you not find a lamp with a shorter cable handier and extend it?
Mother's Day is the easiest thing to buy for in the whole year. If she doesn't like any of flowers, chocolates and/or wine, she isn't worth a present anyway.
Bollocks, I forgot about Mother's Day.
Dont get me flowers, they remind me of the crem, and the crem reminds me of when my mam died. is my Mum's [legitimate?] reason for not liking flowers.
I've got her some socks cos she likes Happy Socks cos they've no seams, or something, and they emailed me.
I did Mothers Day last weekend as she's away to my Sister's this one.
Mine is going on holiday in the early hours, I'll take her to the airport at 4am as a present.
I can get Ikea delivered here. If you pay me a tenner postage I'll get whatever it is you're looking for and ship it to you. :baz:Quote:
