The Best Couch For Small Living Quarters - Neatorama

This couch isn't really ugly, but it's not the best-looking sofa I've ever seen. That being said, it's pretty much the best couch you could hope to have in a small space. That's because you can pull on the arms and turn one sofa into three pieces of furniture -a small bed, a chaise lounge and an armchair.

If you don't want to have a ton of furniture taking up space but wish you could have seating when you have people over here and there, it's the ultimate solution.

Having lived for many years in very small spaces, the first thing I noticed is that this concoction needs enough space lengthwise (or at least diagonally) to be able to pull the pieces out, and if you don't have enough room to do that, you don't have enough room for the pieces to BE out. I don't think the designer really knows what "small living quarters" can mean. The background in the photos is a great example: if you have that much room, your apartment is not space-challenged.

There is also inflatable furniture that can be stored in a handbag. And the lightweight means you don't need a special frame to stash an air mattress against a wall or in a closet during the day. With a fairly thin padded cover, you wouldn't know it's inflatable.

But I'd call futons the best option. Can be very comfortable in both seating and laying positions, disassembles into pieces that'll fit in a small car, and wood (not metal!) frames are durable enough to last many years.

For the equivalent of $2400, I could get something custom made locally in a nicer fabric.

"As foreigners advanced, archers would shoot arrows at them through tiny slits in the castle walls that allowed them to see out without letting enemies see in."

Not quite right. It was the foreigners (The Normans) who built the castles.

I didn't know that Britain only consisted of England, that Tesco sold 24 cans of Stella for £4, that you can get housing benefit if you have savings over 16,000 and that you can buy a pint for around a pound.
Oh, because none of it is correct, that will be why.

e0cs0r is correct - the article is staggeringly incorrect.
If the writer of it is British then she lives in a totally different Britain to the rest of us (even allowing for the passage of time).

Also I've been to the doctors several times in the last few years (both for myself, with my wife and with our young son) and I don't remember ever having to wait for longer than about 15 minutes. Appointments are usually available the same day if my son is ill or it's something that can't wait. If it's something non vital then you are usually seen the following day. I appreciate anecdote does not = evidence but it's yet another time when an article does down our (free at the point of need) health service when it's pretty damned amazing!

What about the ancient sport of Dwile Flonking: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dwile_flonking
