Midnight last night, Ikea opened a new store in North London. They were offering cheap 'first-night' deals on their unique brand of reconditioned transport pallets. Unfortunately, they misjudged the demand for badly-cut lengths of pine since 4000 people turned up. The result was chaos - cars abandoned on the North Circular and 20 injuries due to head exhaustion, 'crush' injuries and 1 stabbing.
As you may have gathered, I don't like Ikea furniture. Like going to the dentist, it's a necessary evil for those with a chronic need for cheap bookshelves (not forgetting baskets and candles).
But, a stabbing! For furniture! It boggles the mind...
