True, and death and taxes.
Did you know that the above phrase about the only certainty in life being death and taxes, is often attributed to being first quoted by Benjamin Franklin.
But apparently, according to Wiki; "The Cobbler of Preston" by Christopher Bullock (1716), contains the phrase:
’Tis impossible to be sure of any thing but Death and Taxes.
I never knew that, see how educational this forum is.
.Let us know which branch of IKEA you are going to, so that we can send out a search and rescue party if you don't appear on the forum within 24 hours of tomorrow.

Not sure if the following is practiced anymore, but back in the 1950's when me and my sister were kids, 5 or 6 yrs maybe; if we had bad chilblains we soaked our feet in a pot containing our own urine.

Tweed jackets used to be soaked in urine-no wonder the gentry acted like total arses!

I think dick-heads is a better description Green Machine, as urine comes from that part of the body.
