Re: The you couldn't make it up thead...
The floor of a weight watchers clinic in Sweden collapsed beneath a group of people taking part in a weight loss programme.
According to a report in Swedish English-language newspaper, The Local, the dieters were queueing up to see how many pounds they had lost in the past week.
One person reportedly told another newspaper that "there was a huge thud, before the floor collapsed along the walls in one corner of the room."
A Weight Watchers consultant told The Smalandsposten newspaper: "We're going to have to find replacement premises."
The cause of the collapse is still being investigated by local authorities, and none of the people involved were injured.

This didn't work for Eddie Griffin, it didn't work for Mr. Wallace, and it won't work for you. Just . . . don't.

As the late great Bill Mclaren used to say 'They'll be dancing in the streets of Hawick tonight.'
Truth is they have not had much to dance about in Hawick for a long time. Scotland losing to the likes of Italy in the competition for the wooden spoon.
Which reminds me, Harry Carpenter died this week. There will not be another boxing commentator to match him.
