Could I have a 1976 Mercedes 600 Pullman-Grosser one?
Only comes in di-van
“Bespoke” painted plywood…
Mattress not included…
Too rich for me
MDF, in fact.
I’ve just read about the difference and what I’ve taken away from it is that these beds are, as you say, too dear.
Are you sure it’s MDF? That last one definitely looks plywoody…and as far as I know, you can’t (easily) curve MDF (See bow in fig3). Either way, no thanks NOC
You’re right, just saw it on website…It’s €18(retail) for a sheet of that stuff (2.4m x 1.2m)
Hmm. Extremely cheeky pricing in that case: though I have no idea how long they’d take to make.
Substantially overpriced.
Lovely kid but that drawing is like something off Tattoo Fixers
Heh. True. I love that show. I particularly enjoyed the guy who got a bawsack tattooed over his knee.
I like the guys who buy home tattoo kits and run amok.
A grand?! Sure you’d whip one of them up over a weekend with a jigsaw and some nails, no bother.
lots of sharp stickey-out bits, grand job.
That’ll learn them to watch what they’re doing.
I shudder when I think of the greatest activity in the world, jumping on the bed, ending in tears on a shaft of MDF :(
Mmmmmm. Shaft.
Well aren’t you the saucy mare today?!
Mr. Andy away on a business trip?
I’m always like this. I just zip it, usually.
I’d rather you didn’t. Much more fun.
TAKE IT OUT! UNZIP THE FECK OUT OF IT.
You’re going to get yourself into moderation, young lady
Nah. My brand of hilarity can’t be reined in, man, and they know it.
nails… in a child’s bed
I fell over laughin’, thanks :)
