You'll be telling us next that beef Wellington is named after the famous Swedish boots and that Baclava is actually named after the Swedish head garment of similar name. Sounds like a load of köttbullar to me.

Isn't Baclava a Turkish dessert?
I see you used those two dots above the "o". Do you have a Swedish computer?

Other famous Swedish musicians include Steppenwolf (Bjorn to be wild), Underworld (Bjorn slippy) and Bruce Springstein (Bjorn in the U Sweden A) - the latter's real name is Lars Elkstrom.

Also, are there any 16x16 not-all-singles Su-Dokus wth the pattern:

Is this the sort of thing you had in mind?

Hi ikea-spokesperson,
A friendly suggestion... if you insert the {quote}at the beginning of the quotation and the {/quote} at the end (I've had to use these brackets to explain this) then using the correct brackets thus [ ] the quotation will look like this....

I've never been, I've only seen their catalogue and their products do not appeal to me. Maybe they're catering for a younger market.

NO. It's the wrong size, the wrong pattern and it's an all singles.

Yes, but there are 2 screws and one dowel the wrong length and 93 extra panel pins.

What do you mean!?

5. There are no traffic lights.

Where is the source to this statement? I can hardly believe this!

I can't actually explain it as there are no written instructions; only a picture of a fattish bloke in bib-and-brace and something that might be a 2cm-long screwdriver.


You don't need a Swedish keyboard to type special characters. ╬

I did say they were unbelievable facts.

Why do you think that Volvos are so sturdy and that airbags were invented in Sweden? There are so many traffic accidents at junctions that it is important to have a car built like a tank.

Also there's the problem of all the wandering elks. Have you ever hit an elk while travelling at 50 mph? Do you know how much damage an elk can do to a normal car? In order to combat the problem, the Swedish government are currently installing GPE (Global Positioning Elk) in all the elks in an attempt to cut down on elk/vehicle crashes.

No, you can use square brackets and have the [quote] & [/quote] displayed no problem.

16. In Room 28 of Ikea Wembley, the microwave is placed directly on top of the fridge, which is wrong.

My microwave is placed directly on top of my fridge. Can any kind person give me a reliable source explaining what harm it can bring? (Yes I mean it seriously.)

9. Magnus Magnusson the famous Swedish host of TV's Mastermind, came from Norway.

Poor old Magnus must be spinning in his Kirkjugarðar at this!

I see Bigtone has also got a Swedish computer.

I agree 100% with this.

My fridge/freezer is two metres tall and if I put the microwave on top, I'd have to jump up and down to check if my food was cooked.

Doesn't yours go "beep" or "ping" like most microwaves? You could stand on an IKEA chair. You could even lean at 3.75° to the vertical if you wanted to insert a special character.

...........but, the flex wouldn't be long enough to reach the power point.

I wonder if IKEA sell extention leads If not, you can get a four way extention lead, £4.99, from Argos.

It looks like I've found my own answer in this link.

Do not place objects on top of refrigerator.

It's probably a standard protocol in Japan (especially the Tokyo Metropolitan area), as the possibility of earthquakes makes putting things on top of fridges dangerous. Since the possibility of earthquakes in Australia is not that high, I think I'm pretty safe with my microwave oven on top of my refrigerator (btw I'm a 6'4" basketball player so height is not a problem for me).

If 999_Springs is not too disgusted to post anymore in this thread, I truly hope he could shred some more lights for the above comment ("which is wrong"). At the moment I think this "hazard" makes as much sense as a Swedish furniture retailer employing an English teacher from Japan as the spokesperson.

I may do but the word in question is Icelandic.
