I am sleeeepy.

There should be an episode of New Who set entirely in IKEA. I'm not joking either. I'm serious. It would be good.


I was reading stuff last night on the internets, and like many others, I am starting to worry that S2 of Torchwood will start shoving Jack/Gwen at us, because: beeb2. That would make me squick.

Sad now.

Ikea yes. The TARDIS is furnished from there anyway. All goth in the console room yes, but everywhere else is self-assembly things called Urikk and Johhannnnne.

I'd like to see the Doctor arguing the toss at customer services about the fact that the dining table should have been more clearly marked as consisting of two flatpack boxes, because now he's had to come all the way back and that's just a waste of everyone's time.

And then he eats some meatballs.

I saw Chloe Webber's bedspread at Ikea.

That's worse.

I think they should of renamed Gallifrey to be called IKEA.

IKEA is a lot like being the Isolus, isn't it?

Could it be a huge IKEA and he can go "I lost her!" and then it turns out Martha was buying a bookcase so he bans her from reading every again

Judging by the amount of IKEA artefacts in the episodes your wish was already granted ;)

I can watch any given scene of any given BBC comedy or drama and point to at least ten objects from IKEA, and probably name at least three of them by name.

I'm not proud.

Is it less shameful if I admit that I can do that too? I'm banned from going to IKEA now without a responsible adult.

Only a man with a Sonic Screwdriver can assemble IKEA without (A) bursting into tears (B) quarrelling with everybody within a 20-foot radius (C) discovering at least three parts missing.

Yet, strangely, women don't need a sonic screwdriver at all, just the allen key and a large Philips.

In my experience, anyway.

I frequently find a Vise-Grips helps, and it often takes two working together to lift the big heavy bits once there are other bits attached at a 90-degree angle.

Pah.

I strong, like man.

I strong enough to ask for help when things are unwieldy , like empowered person.

I think we may be working at different scales. Earlier this year we were assembling a queen-size bed for our son. When you're attaching a six-foot sideboard that is already attached to a footboard at one end to the headboard at the other, it's rather nice to have somebody supporting the footboard side.

Ikea? Only if he BLOWS IT UP.

And the Ikea-ness of the new show is as nothing compared to Babylon 5... go back and look at all the Minbari furnishings. Except for the beds, Ikea doesn't stock ones at 45-degree angles...
