When, and _why_ did they decide it's called ickier?

Ickier to me means yuckier.

What was wrong with Eye-key-a?

perhaps ikea picked up on the fact i call growers (as opposed to showers) ''ikea's''.... what with their flat packed penises.

I went today. Only a week late.

Got what I needed, didn't spend any extra on shite, in and out in 20 minutes... 15 of those were in the queue.

It'll always be I-key-a

So why didn't the ads say Ickier from the start? It's only become Ickier recently.

I miss having one nearby.

The nearest to here are Milton Keynes or North London.

I don't buy much there but there are some things Ikea are useful for.

Yes, unless I'm having a brain fart. I'm fairly sure they did.

I might have to go search the web for old Ikea ads now!

I'm loving the freezer bags... I use them lots. And straws. But I went for a couple of throws for my new armchair and had a total result... perhaps could do with another but it can wait till I'm going out to my folks next time.

My boy cat goes mental for them. He becomes The Destroyer of Straws, defender of the universe against the scourge that is drinking straws
