    Noooo... those are the Ikea shelves I've been looking at too. Expedit could be the new mushroom...

    I haven't been eyeing up Expedit. I'm wondering whether I should be now :rotfl:

    OH has some in his study, and finds them really useful.

    Before PN gets too posh-alerty about us both having studies, they are a partitioned-off corner of our large upstairs living room, and are both tiny - desk + chair + shelves job. Not very posh (-:

    Even less so, as until the stuff arrives from IKEA, mine is more of a glory-hole than anywhere you could actually do anything!
    ...much enquiry having been made concerning a gentleman, who had quitted a company where Johnson was, and no information being obtained; at last Johnson observed, that 'he did not care to speak ill of any man behind his back, but he believed the gentleman was an attorney'.

    Here's a link to one of the posters - ebay auction ends in 4 days!:
    http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Lemon-Jelly-Lost-Horizons-Poster-Signed-by-Fred-Deakin-Nick-Franglen-Airside-/141275466266?pt=UK_art_prints_GL&hash=item20e4ac8a1a

    Description says 66cmx125 cm.
    I have 1 poster that is a lot bigger!

    LJ we have some ready made frames but also have had a number of things framed at a local picture framers.

    We have been happy with both. If something is too awkward/quirky for off the shelf, do try a specialist and ask for a quote.

    No pictures on website, just in my head!

    I'd never heard of that - what a sheltered life I must lead.

    Although the NSFW thing definitely doesn't always apply for me - the nastiest images I've ever seen, in murder, rape and child !!!!!! cases - have all been AT work. You can't take them home (not that you'd want to, obviously).

    Ooohhhh,

    Keep me in the loop please, I was going to trim down the blank edges of the print.

    I definitely want a black frame if possible but am open to style. A maxi frame as advertised on amazon is too small, but not by a lot....few CMs may be?
    I'll keep you advised LIR.
    If I work out the technology, I may even post pics!
    It's getting harder & harder to keep the government in the manner to which they have become accustomed.
