This is a question Conspicuous Consumption

Have you ever been photographed sat on a balcony eating a croissant; or wallowed in luxury just for the sake of it? What's the most ostentatious thing you ever seen or done?

Early summer.....
......and I just happen to be sat on a balcony scoffing a croissant, gazing down upon the childrem I had hired to polish my solid gold Honda Accord, when I am snapped by a fellow B3ta member who spotted it before I did.

The second most ostentatios thing i've done was spend an entire tax rebate on a Superking bed - for my bedsit. I work in Maccy D's and it's the single most expensive thing I own. My TV has to go on the wall as there's literaly no room for a stand. The door of the room I orginally had it in only opened up part way before it banged into the side. I've had four people sleep in it comfortably, though we did have to sleep perpendcular to the regular sleeping position. I sometimes do this when I fancy a change. I'm 6 foot exactly and my feet dont hang off the sides. To further show the bed in all it's glory, I have three pillows side by side. I brought a girl home from a club once and the pillows were the first thing she noticed. On enquiring why I had this arrangement, the kinky bastard in me simply replied "either you can phone a friend or I will. But if I have to, I'll be polite and give you the choice of male or female!". I'll save her answer for another QOTW!

The bay window there is exactly 6 foot wide. It doesn't fit in there, so I have wasted space behind it.

Apologies for length, but it's width that counts here!

You are King among men
The bed is just advertising. Props to you sir!

Is that a tv reflection in your window?

You can't go wrong with a massive bed, though. I wish more people on b3ta would post pictures of their rooms. Never what I imagine them to look like!

I went the big bed route too.
As a fellow six-footer, I got fed up of having my feet stick out off the end and/or having no room to roll around in my sleep (which I apparently have been known to do), and I bought an extra-large - don't know whether it's a superking or just a regular king-size - bed when I moved into my current place. It was the mother of all bastards getting the frame up the stairs, but well worth it.
