We are looking for a new sofa for our new house. I'm happy to go with leather but my husband has chosen this. He loves it. I think it looks like a huge turd! Please tell me it's not just me.

Two grand for a giant poo. WTAF.

Or have a themed sitting room? Get the cushions pps have posted about. And chairs like this.

Point out it has a very low back and will force him to sit bolt upright like he's at school.

(Plus it looks exactly like a turd).

Puzzledandpissedoff There used to be a shop in Nottingham called Knobs and Knockers Grin

paxillin · 21/02/2016 22:55

Mu-um, where is my school jumper? I saw it on the turd earlier.

Oh, you can stay over, no trouble, you can kip on the turd. And yes, it will be called that.

DH says he saw that floating in the M&S loos, yesterday.

BigQueenBee · 21/02/2016 22:57

It's very shite like.

LovelyFriend · 21/02/2016 23:10

deffo a Bristol 2 - poor OP.
at least a classic Chesterfield has the un-turd like arms and plain cushions. Whereas this is turd all over :(

wonkylampshade · 21/02/2016 23:21

Actual tears here!

Op's DH - it's vile, please don't do it!

LovelyFriend · 21/02/2016 23:29

If he really really really wants it, he should wait a month or 2 and it will be knocked down in the sales to some stupidly low amount,when they realise no one in their rights minds wants a giants turd in their living room.

Then he won't feel so bad getting rid of it very quickly when all his friends come over and sit on your sofa, to laugh at his "sofa".

That vulva sofa MUST be Italian?

notquitehuman · 21/02/2016 23:30

It reminded me a bit of malteaser cake.

But mostly turds.

I suggest a 'shabby chic' 70s sofa for your side of the room.

Italiangreyhound · 21/02/2016 23:35

Yes, a turd or a chocolate bar, take your pick!

I think if one person really does not like something big (and so obvious) you will buy, presumably together for your shared home, then you just say no and keep looking. He may not like your first pick so you both end up with your joint second, third or fourth choice, or whatever!

AnnieOnnieMouse · 21/02/2016 23:38

Malteser cake - number 1 Bristol

ophiotaurus · 21/02/2016 23:40

I have found you a sofa! Behold!

Knackered69 · 21/02/2016 23:48

Jeepers!

SilentlyScreamingAgain · 21/02/2016 23:59

After much begging, I'd just got my OH to agree to that very sofa. She has been reading out your comments all evening. I hate you all.

PitilessYank · 22/02/2016 00:11

Why do so many people seem to have memorized the Bristol Stool Chart?

KurriKurri · 22/02/2016 00:21

Oh God - it has brought back awful memories of when I was in hospital on morphine after an operation and got a faecal impaction.

Two days of high dose laxatives, suppositories and an enema, and something identical to that sofa shot out. If I'd known I could have got someone to pay 2000 quid for it, I'd have kept the bugger.

thatwouldbeanecumenicalmatter · 22/02/2016 00:23

It looks...nutty...

paxillin · 22/02/2016 00:29

We have merely saved you and your OH from embarrassment, SilentlyScreamingAgain. There would have been a scrum of friends wanting to photograph the turd.

Alisvolatpropiis · 22/02/2016 00:41

I am properly laughing at the idea of having people round and them seeing the turd sofa.

SilentlyScreamingAgain · 22/02/2016 01:02

I've said that I'm willing to compromise and get it in the tan colour but she pointing to the Bristol Stool Chat and saying it will look like a poorly Number 2 number two.

MammaTJ · 22/02/2016 01:15

It's a professional hazard for a lot of people!

betsyderek · 22/02/2016 02:34

It does look like a faecal impaction.
When you say he won't budge, does he live in the same house as you?

TubbyTabby · 22/02/2016 02:39

it is indeed horrible.
