    They are the sheets that have the elastic sown into them so they billow like a parachute when you try to fold them. Designed to "fit" over the matress to make it easier to make the bed.

    Apparently they make good bike covers too.

    Everything went suspiciously quiet after steve_t posted asking if they were special sheets and if they had any spares....

    My guess is they were special and there are no spares so he's made a run for the border.

    Either that or hes already dead, it's even odds really...

    Might I suggest all drama could all be averted by rushing out & buying a set of the above mentioned sheets before she arrives home?

    Any man who knows what a fitted sheet is should be regarded in the same light as Honda owners.

    Hang on a minute though lads n lasses, lets think outside the square here....

    If herself comes home, sees a fitted sheet over the bike, you may never know, she might get all juiced up and fancy a game of 'Hunt The Sausage' on the seat. The bike in question is well built for a touch of tandem rooting so it could be all go in the downstairs department....I mean, chicks love a well made bed for shagging in, so what's wrong with a well made bike.....

    Take last weekend for example, I decorated the VL with a pair of my undies on the headlamp, my socks on the foot rests and a johnny on the exhaust, herself got in from the pub, took one look and got so happy-moisty that she just about slid off the sofa thinking about it...

    Once you have had fat, you will NEVER look bak, eh...

    So, do a monty python and look on the bright side, you may be in for some south-of-the-navel action on the strength of your new bike cover...

    Right, where's my 15" black rubber cock, it's tea time....

    Fitted sheets are over-rated. A deftly done hospital corner is a sight to behold...

    I use sheets, for under the bike cover, not fitted thou, easier to through over and not have to fumble around in the dark making sure the fit bit is fitted over the bike. So what was the drama? Guess it would if you used ones that were in use for the original purpose...oh dear..i would say something like Richard Cranium

    Aha. THAT is the correct answer. The only one.

    I wonder what happened at the end of this story?

    By the way, fitted sheets are easy to fold once you know how. My ex-army Dad had a special folding method - although I think it may be a military secret. No, they didn't use fitted sheets in the army, but he applied his need for sharp creases to the fitted sheets and did them perfectly every time.

    My mother, on the other hand, used to scrunch them up and shove them in the back of the cupboard hoping he wouldn't notice. He would find them and re-fold them with perfect creases. Folding fitted sheets is a very masculine art IMO.
    There is no such thing as bad weather; only inappropriate clothing!

    You know, I once spent an entire week learning how to perfect the hospital corner. True Woe betide you Mully Wuppy if you did not get it exactly right, the whole lot was whipped off the bed, and you started again.

    Probably too late for that, time for the forensics team and a few shovels...
