Oh....! This has made me howl into laughter ! What a tragedy ! But I can't understand why they chose a water bed to try all 'stunts'!

Thank you very much Valsa, When I saw that picture it fired up my muse, don't think I'd like sleeping on that though, I like a firm bed. Tom

How funny! I scared of home floods because I've been there, done that but I could not resist laughing - thank you for that. Poetry hugs ... CayCay

Thanks CayCay, I think many of us have had bad experiences with water, I was doing some plumbing upstairs and the pipe came apart under pressure, got down stairs in about two seconds to turn off the supply. I was lucky as it didn't do too much damage. Tom.
