spilling her milkshake

I shall try having a milkshake in bed later. I quite like the idea.

They aren't conspicuously enormous, just quite big. While I'm happy to join in cruel mockery of their size, this doesn't sound to have been a very well made or sturdy bed. 🙂

It's only a matter of time now before bed manufacturers put weight limits on their beds.

I think the woman is actually very big myself.

And the man has tattoos on his hands.

the store is sending a technical expert out to inspect the bed.......they might want to take a welder and some RSJ's aswell if they are going to try and fix it!!

Her size is one thing. However complaining to a local paper that something clearly made to a budget cannot support your weight when you are double the normal weight is quite another.

If it had happened to me and I was that fat I'd have sheepishly gone looking for another stronger bed and kept quiet about it!

BD - you've clearly been taken in by her seductive pose. That woman has the body fat percentage of a pork scratching!

Do you think her milkshake brings all the boys to the yard?

OK. I admit defeat. She is pretty hefty. 🙂

I've got a suspicion the paper is running the story as a cheap freak-show rather than an indictment of shoddy bed-making anyway...

I once broke a bed which surprised me - a pine double; I did kinda drop down onto it from a bit higher than I expected though....

Fully agree with molgrips. Her size is no issue to me, but FFS, dont go complaining to the local press about it and not expect people to draw their own conclusions.

Quick poll:

Who else gets up in the middle of the night for a milkshake?

Closest I'll ever get to a milkshake in bed is playing with Mrs Feet's funbags 😈

[sheepishly] Yeah, with added protein! [sheepishly]

I have a real strong bed though!

Caroline, who suffers with [s]curvature of the spine and arthritis[/s] being a fat bastard, was then stuck in the broken bed as Judd struggled to lift her out.

She said: “We were in complete shock, we just heard a big bang, Judd managed to jump up in time but I [s]didn’t[/s] can't as im so fat.

there fixed it 😉

Caroline, who suffers with curvature of the spine and arthritis,

🙁

Physically unhealthy and apparantly a bit naive/not very foresightful as to what reaction complaining to the local rag is going to provoke.

Curvature of the spine is usually at the back, not the front!

These things happen... In my younger days I broke the slats on my bed and my then g/f's bed thanks to some over zealous lovin' and neither of us were above average weight.

Maybe they were... Argh! My eyes!

The shocked couple ... have tried to get in touch with TJ Hughes to get a refund for their £199 self-assembly bed

I think herein lies the problem. Cheap tat not built to last, they should have thought about it when they bought the nasty thing. As for having to sleep on the floor; if either of them had half a clue about anything, it wouldn't be that difficult to reinforce it with a bit of board, ffs. Would do until they got something more substantial, anyway.

ahem quoting from the article
you don’t expect it to break after you have paid good money from a[b] top store[/b].

Classy products for classy people

Take the wheels off before you take her to bed next time.
Lighter and so much more pleasurable without the rubber!

Do you think it was the chainrings that did the real damage then?

Hmmm, more likely suspension set up. Have you tried slowing the rebound?

A mattress on the floor is probably more appropriate for them.

My god, I'm heavy on my own and I wouldn't sleep in a bed like that, let alone with another person with me.

If I was that large, I wouldn't buy a not overly expensive bed and build it myself. There's no guarantee that built it properly.

And getting up in the night for a milkshake?!
