A spitfire, IKEA and integration

[ippy]

IKEA kitchens, the doors are really well made and very presentable, all of the rest of their kitchens, I mean everything else, looks like perfection, dumped into a waste skip. (Don't go there).

Well how about that - I am also semi-regular at Kimberley. My partner has taken a liking to the breakfasts there, although I think primarily it's the cost - not saying he's careful with money or anything ...

... but he only breathes in.

... but he's got a burglar alarm on the wheelie bin

... but he likes to sit by the fire on a cold winter's night - if it's really cold he'll actually light it.

I see you've met him!

Sure have - he dropped a 2p piece once and bent down down to pick it up so fast it hit him on the back of the head.

Dear Blue,

Shame really but at least you tried to lift the forum to higher more loftier thought, just where can intellectual giants like me and you ( is that, you and I ) go to find others equal to our intellectual standing.

Gonnagle.

I was thinking this about football, as many pictures from Leicester at the moment, show the multi-racial nature of that city, as does the team of course.   However, these effects may be quite temporary.   I was amazed by the number of Asian girls who are taking football training for young kids, so this reaches across racial, religious, and gender boundaries.   I wish girls had taken me for training.

Oh c'mon Gonners any chance to jump up and down and scweam and cweam and scweam materialist antitheist.

There's only one materialist antitheist who makes me 'Cweam' pal................
and that's Wichard Dawkins.

Hi Gonners,

Thanks for fighting a heroic rearguard action on this one. Maybe the musing wasn't worth bothering with, but I was taken nonetheless with the thought that, however unwittingly, the need to buy flat pack furniture of all things might just also help chip away a little at the sense of "other" our tribal instincts and belief do so much to reinforce.

Maybe Mammon ain't the worst of the gods after all...

, by the way
You are just acting like some atheist version of King Canute deluded in thinking humanity will lose the sense of the other and even more deluded if you think it is a good thing.

I would have thought that behaviour during the sales would disavow you of mammon's ability to foster fraternity.

"The story of King Canute and the waves is an apocryphal anecdote illustrating the piety or humility of king Canute the Great, recorded in the 12th century by Henry of Huntingdon.

In the narrative, Canute demonstrates to his flattering courtiers that he has no control over the elements (the incoming tide), explaining that secular power is vain compared to the supreme power of God. The episode is frequently alluded to in contexts where the futility of "trying to stop the tide" of an inexorable event is pointed out, but usually misrepresenting Canute as believing he had supernatural powers, when Huntingdon's story in fact relates the opposite."
