Default Super-Fast ArgosI flatpack nonsense (was Tales from the kitchen, an MFI screw, and a crap joke!)

To follow up one tedious post with something even more tedious, I
decided to make a video for my own amusement or me struggling to build
a £29 Argos flatpack wardrobe...
The tape ran out and I couldn't be bothered to find another, so you
don't get to see the
finished thing, which is probably a relief. But anyway...

The file is 20Mb wmv, so you need broadband, sound, and really nothing
better to do...

Actually, seeing as it was a
"one-shot-at-it-cos-I-don't-have-time-for-this" bit of editing, it's
not as bad as it might have been. Better than "Pearl Harbor" at any
rate....

Had a go at fitting my own kitchen over the weekend, only incident was
managing to reduce my finger by a couple of mill as I sliced it when the old
stainless sink slid sideways as I pulled it out. Should probably check date
of last tit'n'ass jab.

Interesting to see the MFI definition of a screw - a self-tapper it ain't!

Final thought - standard kitchen supplied by MFI is Hygena, but I actually
ordered a Hyena Kitchen - well, when you're hungry, it keeps the wolf from
the door....
