Preassembled Rumblemumbles
7DOS Update 22/10/2017 - I found this as a theme candidate and had totally forgotten about it. I had a good chuckle and hope you will too.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rumblemumbles and I went for the long drive to Ikea early this Saturday morning, as she had found just the right size table for her new home that she moves into in July.
On entering we passed a cafe full of people shovelling an amazingly cheap breakfast into their mouths, then entered the rabbit warren from hell.
After diving into the sea of humanity swimming along the torrent of winding walkways, there is no escape. Cleverly designed fitout stop you taking shortcuts to the exit, thus preventing premature freedom.
Anyone climbing the walls of Swedish delight in an attempt to srcamble over the top, were quickly despatched by snipers in striped uniforms as if it were the Berlin wall.
She showed me the table and after a tick of approval, noted the number and pressed on down the marked path to the warehouse, hoping to get out by sunset.
RMs joy knew no bounds as we put the boxs onto a large trolley that was clearly the runt of the litter. With a large piece of glass and some steel legs aboard, RM started mocking my driving as the trolley suddenly veered left then right threatening to leave tyre tracks over the little 2yo kids who were foolish enough to get too close.
I gladly passed the driving over to her cleverness and laughed loudly as she spun out of control.
Leaving the store through the food section, we were forced to eat what tasted like cheese cake, by a lady with a huge tray of free samples. I just knew that she wouldn't take "no" for an answer so surrendered to the dessert delights.
As we tried to get the trolley back to the car, I pondered how much effort must have gone into the design of the store, and what my chances were of getting 2 or 3 more samples from the lady if I smiled sweetly, after all, it was a very big tray.
