\*\*Primaflora \*\*– You should divorce him ! 😉

**Coldie** – No, not the wardrobe. Pastel-coloured walls, it’s yer decor, luv ! … you loon … bloody, clueless bachelors, I dunno ….

\*\* Steve Wright\*\* – I’ve heard you need a good-sized box for full satisfaction. Some thought it was just the way you walked but ….

**Kyla** and **Ivar** – That’s odd. I look forward to a new Ikea range called ‘I dig bad boys’, ‘Jack Dean Tyler’ or ‘Fuck Donny’ or similar …. I suppose the JDT range would be a cut above the rest ….

Patience, Grasshopper. Remember, there’s only so much blue paint in the entire world.

Minor update for **Lissla Lissar** : seems there’s a _shuttle bus_ from the Leslie subway station to the North York IKEA. 🙂
