What’s Swedish for where did I leave the Allen key?

For that amount of furniture, you need an allen “bit” that fits in an electric drill - even worth sacrificing a full allen key length, to cut a piece off the long arm.

I found a set in a local hardware store (the sort of dusty old place that have all closed down sadly). They fitted a small black and decker electric screwdriver. Good because my Makita has too much tork and stripped the bolt heads!

I had to fit a large number of floor - ceiling wardrobe units (build in situ in walk-in dressing area - or in bedroom & slide in!) in Jenvey Towers, & shortly afterwards, a full wardrobe set in my daughter’s house. IKEA - gold medal standard! :sports_medal:

Fortunately the Bosch set I brough out here has those hex drive bits in it.

I mean, it’s being sold in Sweden of course it does.

Same, also, no one’s even started to progress my resignation.

I do apologise to Swedish speakers for my incessant mockery of the language, but at least it’s not Finnish.

or danish, or russian, polish, prussian, goth, Byzantine, spanish, frankish,…

You know what, I don’t have time to list ALL of swedens Historic enemies, stop causing trouble you messy Vikings

The English surely have a longer list. Our list uses anybody else’s as a “good start”.

Well I’m Scottish, so Ours Is Just different Evolutions of England from Roman britain to the modern union we find ourselves in

I was careful to say English. It’s the British list plus the Scottish, Irish, Welsh, and Cornish.

Finnish exists purely to make Swedish look easy!

One of my ex-aviation colleagues said that there was no such word as “please” in the Finnish language? Think that they say versions of “thank you” at the end of a sentence that is a request?

Drinking standards:

Danes - 4th.
Swedes - 3rd.
Norwegians - 2nd.
Finns - 1st!

Although the Icelandics make them all look amateurs! :wink:
