I don't get it. I feel like I should, like I've been asleep through some seismic piece of world shattering opprobrium and I've just woken up but nobody's letting me in on it.
No Sky News. No radio in the flat. The newspaper stands are empty. The internet connection is down, except it clearly isn't. I'm trying to be metaphorical, and topical, and I don't do either well.
But did I miss something?
'Shop opens. Country wets self.'
I am convinced we had furniture before the latest Viking invasion. I'm fucking certain of it. Not only that, but apparently it's all flat-pack, stuff you have to put together on your own time. Sounds like a lot of effort to me.
"But it's cheap."
"So is Bargaintown, where you won't have to fend off the 3,000 people passing through the doors in the first hour of trading."
"But... but..."
"But nothing."
All of that being said, if it manages to put Harvey fucking Norman out of business, then foist me on a perfectly appointed, build-it-yourself chaise longue and carry me aloft to Ballymun.

Ahh yeah but do Bargaintown have meatballs?
If they do, I don't wish to partake.
Amen to that, brother. Did you see all the muppets on the TV with the Swedish flag painted on their faces?
I guess it's a triumph of marketing. I fucking hate marketing.
I didn't Andrew, thank fuck. I would have harmed my already broken TV if I had seen it.
Yeah, quite the crowd. I hadn't known that methadone comes in flat pack form.

quality holemaster. quality.
I've been poor as well as style, meatball, and angry mob-hungry for years so I always wet myself any time an IKEA is mentioned. There I go again. I hope you're happy.
There's a warehouse in Laois where you can practise shopping in IKEA. It costs €50 and they show you how to shop effectively in only two hours. They reckon they can save you €100 and two hours on an IKEA visit.
IEMP - Yes that was a formidable sentiment indeed.
Holemaster - I'm sure I read about it on The Onion.
