When putting our twins’ cribs together, my husband and fought over who got to use the “good” Alan/Allen and did a lot of stealing it from each other. Religion truly does more harm than good.

A "Bad Alan" has merit - his purpose is to remind us of the folly of our undertaking.

So good! I recently assembled an under-bed drawer and encountered four of the evils!!

Thank you both - an Ivar shelving unit put me in A&E a couple of years ago. But I can't blame Alan, as aficionados will note he is a rare no-show in the Ivar system. I am very much prone to the DIY sweats though - any job attempted, no matter how straightforward, will inevitably descend into chaos and primal howling.

Brilliant. Yet to experience the deadly sixth side of Alan/Allen! 😅
