I love the Ikea in Adelaide.Cheaper than the Homebush one, food is better and the play area for the kids doesn't have 50 minutes queues.
Not having relatives out here means the only time we get to ourselves before their bedtime is when they're playing in the ball pool there. We can go eat cake without having to share it.

It's definitely worth it, but it is very highly dependent on whether you want to do it.I'm not one of those who reckons life is empty without kids, but I certainly enjoy having these two around. It's the little odd things like finding your youngest, who we'd never heard sing before, turns out to be nearly pitch perfect.

Yeah I only really think about it because I'm one of the last few in my circle of friends to not have oneI don't want to have to share my booze with some infant

Fair enough.Although they probably get drunk on very little if you did have to share.

By the way... if he is a good singer...There are good ways and bad ways to foster that talent.
Good way: sign him up to a youth choir with plenty of chicks in. That ruled.
Bad way: sign him up to a Cathedral Choir boarding school. That sucked.

Yeah I forgot about the ginger thins.The reindeer meat is seasonal. They usually have it just after Christmas.

I actually like it there. I like watching people trying out the furniture, and I like the product names.

I like to have a direct route to wherever I want to be in a shop and I get stir crazy when I have to push past pregnant ladies and 6 year olds just to buy the desk I found in the first room.I refuse to navigate their maze just for the chance of giving them my money.

Not in the one I last visited but that was Sunnybank in Qld. I even asked the guy in the cafeteria if there was a quick way out and he said no.
Fucking fire hazard if you ask me.

True.The one we usually go to has shortcuts signposted, you can cut through in about 10 minutes, assuming you're prepared to push people out of the way.

And if a city gets a second store built, they divert all the stock there.I could have set fire to the Homebush store for selling out of packing boxes just as we were moving. All the new stock went to Tempe and there was a four week delay on new boxes.

One time I got to the warehouse and I only wanted one thing which was then out of stock.I took the one on display that had already been built, gave them my money and walked out glaring at them. To their credit they were all quite understanding.

Nearly 50% of the current population of Europe was concieved in an Ikea bed.Almost 40% of them managed to do it in the showroom.
