They'd give you nightmares forever more. I made D delete the last one. Let's just say that lying there eyes closed and gob open isn't a good look for me.

Wanted to say the same, you'll see the problem what to watch on telly will disappear by itself plus new options to emerge out of nowhere!
Done myself for yeras (til 1995), only using different ingredients for a yummy cocktail (no, not Molotov) like, vodka, beer, moonshine. Of course there must be some side effects.

Put the pics on your profile. WE WANT PICS! WE WANT PICS!"

C sent me the pics already via email, Brass.

I've forwarded them onto you.

You might want to pour a strong drink ready for after viewing.

I can't quite decide which one impressed me more? ...

The one where D is standing at the other end of the Room and trying to aim one after another of a whole Jar of Pickled Onions into your open Mouth, Collette? ...

Or the one where D is playing Jenga by balancing all of those Cream Crackers onto the tip of your Nose between each of your Snores? ...

I think I might just ask D for an extra large copy of the both of them ;o>

Well, we would, but we're still waiting to see if D has got you into the Guinness Book of Records for balancing all of those Cream Crackers on your Nose, Collette?

Drink nothing and read a good book? I'm off out to a tribute band, Roxy Magic, shortly. Wasn't all that enthused but a gig's a gig and they do the early stuff as well as the smooth pop of later years and appear from their clips to do it all very professionally. Here's Ladytron;

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZcbcO...

Next Saturday, if the hysteria about Monday's 'rule of 6' is not over-reacted to (they're not shutting pubs nor restaurants so a club with a sign in and sanitiser procedure, an audience of allegedly more sensible coffin-dodgers, max 6 to a table - but no checks on how many households from, one way system to the bar, no dancing and a limit on total numbers should be OK) then next Saturday is Led Into Zeppelin (wonder whose music they do?);

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q5gWY...

I never used to go to tribute bands, my rule was always there has to be at least one original member in the band (like Gary Rossington in Skynyrd or Duane Roland in Molly Hatchet) but Covid has changed all that and I'll take any kind of live music (much cheaper and nearer than 'proper' bands too).

[suzysunshine7]

... ENJOY!!! ;o>

Left my kindle at Mum's so no can do. Good thing about cider is I won't get pissed on it. Enjoy your gig, Mr B. You should try to see T-Rextasy at one point (if you haven't already). They're bloody brilliant. When we last saw them in October 2017 "Dreamy Lady" nearly had me in tears.

[Brass Neck]

L'enfer, c'est les autres (hell is other people). Given the mainstream nature of the band they were a tribute to the crowd were not particularly there for the music, pissed and gobby. Since I'd invited Missus Neck we inevitably arrived late and virtually every table was occupied, in at least one case by 10 people. I spotted a decent space with just one couple right over the other side, little knowing that they would be the gobbiest pair in the place, bellowing inanities at each other throughout such that the brief respites when more alcohol was queued for or one of them needed to excrete the vast quantities of liquid they were imbibing were like manna from heaven and you could try to listen to the band. I say try because for the second gig in a row the sound was shite; muddy, boomy and indistinct, especially the lead vocalist. In fact when I went to the pissoir the sound was twice as good as in the room! You could tell the band were excellent if only the sound had allowed this to shine through. Some of the songs could only be identified after a minute or so of concentrated puzzling, trying to dig out the tune from the sludge.
To the venue's credit the PA background music was set at a lower volume but that seemed to have little impact on the volume of braying and shrieking of the inebriated throng. One woman couldn't resist the urge to get up, go down the front and start dancing during the set but again credit to the organisers for telling her off in no uncertain terms so she returned to her seat slowly.
There was only one hand-pulled ale on (Black Sheep) where there had been two but that had run out 9.30 so lukewarm Newky Brown was the next best thing.
Will I go again? Oh, yes; as I said before, a gig's a gig and my need for live music means I will have to lower my expectations, swallow my pride and tough it out. It is a shame that a very capable band were so hamstrung by the deficiencies of the PA and the volubly displayed ignorance of much of the assembled punterdom.

I don't wear slippers - always barefoot around the home/in the garden, etc and I never drink cocoa, especially after a session on t'ale. I'll leave my nightwear or lack thereof to your fertile imagination.

Today I shall mostly be trying ... for about the hundredth odd time over this last fortnight to buy a Wardrobe for the Spare Bedroom from off Ikea! ;oO

It's a quite small and an awkward shaped Room to furnish and so it has taken me endless searches for some months now just to find THE 'perfect' Wardrobe! To find one that is exactly the right size and style, of a great quality and at a fab price too ... until finally! ... I found everything that I really wanted and needed and liked best of all in a Wardrobe on the Ikea Website ... HURRAYYY!!!

But unfortunately I can't buy it because the Checkout won't let me ;o<

The Website keeps putting up different Header Boxes every few days offering up a wide range of explanations as to why this might be - one day it's all to do with already reported Site glitches and Payment issues, the next it's all down to excessive demand exceeding limited Stock, and of course they keep on mentioning the challenges of trying to keep on going as a Business during this Pandemic as well.

And I totally understand all of these issues and I'm known for being a very patient person by nature - but I'm starting to wonder if maybe Ikea might possibly be in big financial trouble and struggling to keep on going in times like these? ;o< ... and I'm also starting to find myself getting more and more fixated by the day on really, really, REALLY wanting ... needing ... to get this Wardrobe! - LOL!!! ;o>

Facebook confirms that some Customers are having some ongoing issues with Ikea Orders and Payments - but I never thought that I'd ever be wanting a Wardrobe like I SO want and need this one and I just HAVE to HAVE it!

There is a new one that is up for sale on eBay at way over twice the price - and I almost got so desperate last night that I was actually starting to consider it?! Luckily though I'm not quite all that obsessed that I've completely lost all leave of my senses ... yet!

Does anyone out there know of a Therapy Group especially for folk trying to stay off eBay whilst dealing with severe Wardrobe Wanting withdrawal symptoms? ;oO

Okay, but I'll be expecting a small Commission Fee ... £150 for my new Wardrobe plus whatever the p&p costs might turn out to be should I ever manage to get all of the way through the Ikea Checkout to buy it! ;o>

yeah, jim-jams and slippers! who needs 'em? ain't owned either since i was about 10, and i'm also a barefoot kinda guy. i'll upweird by also disclosing that i varnish/paint the big toenail on my left foot - a few years ago i lost the nail, and it grew back with displeasing results, so mrs tech advised decoration - now the toenail is fine and dandy, i just upkeep the practice as a representation of my individuality, and the fact that it just looks darling, darling!

12th attempt of the day at buying a Wardrobe off Ikea and now ...

"This item is no longer available to buy online"

Is there a local store you could contact to see whether they have stock in-store? If so, could they put aside one for you for click and collect? Then maybe you could find someone (Airtasker? Task Rabbit?) to pick up and deliver to you (maybe assemble as well).

Is there a store near you that you could contact to see whether they have stock in-store? Perhaps they could put one aside for you for click and collect. Then find someone (Airtasker, Task Rabbit, Man With A Van) to collect and deliver - maybe even assemble too.

[suzysunshine7]

There apparently is a Manchester Store, Val, in Ashton-Under-Lyne - but I don't have anyone that I could ever ask to do a Click or Collect pick-up for me - and, even if I did, I wouldn't ever have the nerve to ask anyone because it's not just an couple of miles round trip but almost a 40 mile round trip and a collection too of what could be just the one or several extremely heavy Parcel/s.

I've haven't tried finding a 'Man With A Van' service - but I reckon they might easily charge me almost as much as the Wardrobe costs - LOL!!! - and we are still shielding here and so I don't really want to have too much passing around of the Parcel between the Store and our House - or to have it assembled for us either because no-one is allowed in past the Front Porch. I can't have anyone in the Room and, if they assembled it outside on the Driveway I'd be rather worried about potential contact issues with the Wardrobe and also be stuck with having no way at all of getting it inside and up the Stairs all by myself.

I was planning on having a go at the assembly even though it's been around three years now since I last put together a Flat Pack of any great size. I think I might still have it in me if I pace myself and take lots of extra Pain Relief? Well, I'm up for the challenge at least! ;o>

I can't arrange it for a Click & Collect instead of a Delivery anyway - because you put things in your Shopping Basket - and then the Website says ... "How would you like to receive your order? Add your postcode to see available delivery and collection options" ... and that's as far as I can get with the Checkout process because I then get two Pop-up Boxes with one saying ... "Something went wrong! One or more articles are unavailable for delivery at the moment. Please review your order and try again" ... and the other saying ... "Due to unprecedented demand, we're experiencing shortages for some items and longer delivery times than usual. We apologise and are working hard to restock as quickly and safely as possible. If you're unable to complete your order, please try again in a few days"

And I had already seen the Header Pop-up that shows up when you search for Wardrobes that says ... "We currently have a higher demand for our system wardrobes than we can supply. Things will improve over the coming weeks, but in the meantime why not explore our free standing wardrobes?" ... but was hoping that, as the Wardrobe I want is a free-standing one, I might get lucky.

It must be a deliberate prevention at Checkout of Customers buying certain Stock, or that they have limited or no available Staff to do Deliveries or assist with organising their Click & Collection service.

It's frustrating as Hell when you find something that is absolutely spot on for just what you really want and need - but there seems to be no way around it - and so I'll just have to keep on with trying and hoping that it doesn't suddenly end up as being 'Discontinued' in the meantime.

[suzysunshine7]

It looks like I'd be paying £39 for Delivery on top of £150 for the Wardrobe? ... and that still makes it to be an absolute bargain of a buy - because I've been looking at far too many really shabby and flimsy looking Wardrobes online that not only don't meet my requirements but cost twice that and they have got some of the most appalling Reviews against them as well.

The one on eBay is being sold as the last one of two for sale and as brand New for £355.99 + £3.10 Delivery which really is just too much. Plus my instinct says AVOID! ... as this Seller has the Wardrobe Location listed as being in Huddersfield yet their Contact Details are for a Lock-up Unit in the middle of a rather rough looking Housing Estate on the outskirts of Manchester and the other side of Stockport to us according to Google - and he has only got 133 on Feedback with a positive rating of only 88.9% ;o<

I'm not that desperate, and I never ever buy from any Seller who has anything less than 92 - 93%, and the negative Feedback suggests that he is probably selling Returns/Second hand goods that are imperfect or damaged in some way ... so I'm definitely not going to be wasting any more time in looking at that as an option! ;oO

There are also a couple of Used ones too (in the white version, not the Oak) that are in fantastic condition - which has been a very positive and useful thing to get to see. It's obvious that the quality of them really is as excellent as the Website claims and the Reviews suggest - and the Photos have helped enormously by showing how they look and fit into a real Bedroom setting ... and also as to just how much stuff their current owners have managed to squirrel away into them as well! - LOL!!! ;o>

I'll just have to keep on with trying and hoping that I get one through Ikea ;o>

[Val]

Would it be worth a phone call just to see if they have any in stock and available for purchase. You could then play the poor, helpless, disabled female card and see if they can come up with any suggestions about how to get it to you.
