I know! patrick and Nicky have this rose tinted view of working class people. I remember when James said that Nicky lived a pretty stereotypical working class Valleys lifestyle. Really? I doubt many blokes there spend most of their time with a Dyson before trying on their wifes clothes and making collages in their spare bedroom.

How much cheaper can you get than Ikea? It's brilliant!

Cardiff definately has the best Ikea I've ever been in.

I wish we had an Ikea in Brighton. We should do but the nearest is either Croydon or Thurrock.

The cheapest Dyson costs about 300 euros.. that can be quite a bit of Ikea furniture!

nicky also has Bang & Olufson (sp?) TVs in his house... one of the most if not THE most expensive brand you can get. Definitely not working class

oooh nice! I used to lust after their hi-fi systems... I just gave up, I'll never be able to get one

I'd never been to Ikea until Saturday because I don't have a car, and tables and chairs are tricky to fit on a bus, even if there were one that went there. Which there isn't.
The prices were very reasonable but, normally, I have no means of getting there....

god how patronising. Ikea is meant to be affordable..what does he think that the entire working class lives in workhouses and eat gruel??

I guess it's the same everywhere, they do have free busses from downtown, but you basically need a car to get there, if you want to take back any relevant furniture! Of course they also deliver, but then I guess the whole point of extra cheap goes to hell!

Oh, and I do hope your basic working class person makes at least 1000£ a month (which is what they make here and they still walk around with iPhones and iPods!!)

That sounds awfully familiar. Where's it from?

StandAndStare · #**1737** 16-10-2010, 14:21

it's Stab Yr Heart, from Nicky's I Killed the Zeitgeist.

Nature's Discontent · #**1738** 16-10-2010, 19:18

Hmm, that's one way to get all the Nicky fans excited, thinking it might possibly mean that it'll be on the next setlist
