When we go sea fishing to Ireland when ever you get caught on a wreck or the bottom Fin the skipper always says that you've caught Mother Fluffing Ireland

[Bbbananas]

I was just going to ask that next Old Geezer....!!

Bobbi - Barker & Stonehouse it is then... much more to my taste.

[puternut]

MFI used to make suppository furniture - so called beacuse you stuff it up yourself

IKEA is something to do with the original founder and his home town - Ingvar Kamprad from ElmtAryd-

[puternut]

Slight change - from IKEAs own webby

'The name is made up of the initials of our founder, Ingvar Kamprad and the first letters of the farm, Elmtaryd and the village Agunnaryd in southern Sweden where he grew up'

[society]

are you going to get a em.. MFI from IKEA?
