I do believe your Swedish furniture company opened up a new store near Metro recently, causing near-orgasmic reactions from the local dames.

Opening day saw a waiting throng of hundreds if not thousands with a full complement of Law Enforcement.

A store opening which included directions on the digital traffic ‘billboards’, coverage by all local TV stations and as I heard, police snipers.

One of these things is not like the other…

It just goes to show that the Swedes don't have a monopoly on dodgy customer service. If the rest of you are wondering why Rae would ask such a thing, head on over to <a href="http://misfitbrew.com" rel="nofollow">Misfit Brew</a> and download Episode 13. There's a lot of great geeky goodness from Mick Bradley (including some spiffy fiction), as well as the bittersweet tale of a Scottish lass who has a run-in with a certain Swedish furniture company. Which Swedish furniture company? Well, that would be telling; but here's a hint: <blockquote>Long ago, in days of yore It all began with a god named Thor There were Vikings and boats and some plans for a furniture store It's not a bodega, it's not a mall They sell things for apartments smaller than mine, as if there were apartments smaller than mine!</blockquote>

Long ago, in days of yore
It all began with a god named Thor
There were Vikings and boats
and some plans for a furniture store

It’s not a bodega, it’s not a mall
They sell things for apartments smaller
than mine, as if there were
apartments smaller than mine!

My ire knows no bounds, really.
