RIP Mr. Kamprad. The world would be poorer (and my house somewhat emptier) without your furniture.

We have six IKEA dining chairs, acquired over a period of time (there was no IKEA in Northern Ireland at the time, and we'd get a couple each time we were over on the mainland with the car), and by the time D. had assembled the last one, he could do it in about half an hour, without any bits left over. ![[Big Grin]](biggrin.gif)

I have built any amount of IKEA furniture and compared to MFI and the other flat-pack stuff we got used to in the UK it is a joy AND you can move it around! The only problem I have had concerns over-tightening screws so that they protrude through surfaces.
Oh, and getting stuff to the car if the store is busy and there are too few staff to help.

The utlimate interview
Graham actually has a better rapport with his host in that interview then he does in his interview with William F. Buckley. I think maybe because in the former, the two participants knew they didn't share much common ground to begin with, which probably takes some of the pressure off.
Caveat: I've only watched a small bit of his interview with Buckley, but from what I recall, it was kind of stilted and awkward.

I wasn't aware of the Allen-Graham interview. I was never a fan of Billy Graham - nor was I hostile - but in that interview he comes off as gracious and quite funny. Good on him. Actually, Woody seems to have enjoyed it, as well, and was gracious in his "I hope I didn't provoke you."

Let's not go out with that. Instead, someone who lived in a blaze of life and glory: Cynthia Heimel, "an urban romantic with a scathing X-ray vision that penetrates her most deeply cherished fantasies," author of Get Your Tongue out of My Mouth, I’m Kissing You Good-Bye and Sex Tips for Girls:
quote:
It is our main purpose in life, and all those other activities — playing the trumpet, vacuuming carpets, reading mystery novels, eating chocolate mousse — are just ways of passing the time until you can fuck again. Well, maybe not eating chocolate mousse. If it is made with good Swiss chocolate and topped off with Devon cream, eating chocolate mousse is almost as good as fucking.
Somehow, that seems to be a fitting epitaph to the Circus and the Ship.
