Well I did have the misfortune of meeting Bjorn the Bed when we helped a friend move and she needed her bed frame put back together It ended up being almost a complete rebuild.

I was not impressed

The meatballs are totally mank. They also do a 'Princess Cake' and if you have a 'Family Member' card, they give you a cake free for your birthday. Don't do it, they're beyond mank.

I'm sure someone does. Australia is probably the only country in the world where people happily eat the meat of the animals on the national coat of arms. Always seemed a tad wrong to me.

Lions are not native to the UK and unicorns are hard to come by

Finding duvets and duvet covers in a typical US store has always been a challenge for me.

I'm sure there are better descriptions than that, but anyway, Ikea have all manner of duvets with various fillings, and they are all coded according to their warmth level, and they are crazy cheap. Then they have a very long wall full of covers, all hanging so you can have a good look/feel.

I'd say it's worth visiting an Ikea if you've never been, just for the experience - extremely large stores with massive selections. Everything they sell seems very cheap, and some of it is quite decent.

I've picked up LED light bulbs, trouser-hangers, an office chair, an office desk, some of the best plain-white dining plates I've ever seen, various kitchen items, storage shelving, casual rugs, and so on.
