Gertrude sure did have assistants, huh?
I think a lot of TMA ships (Or friendships, I'm not a cop) have the potential to be very funny when placed in the "only one bed" trope.
Oliver and Jon have to share a bed for a week while on a trip. They were fine with sharing a bed in theory, but by the end of the week Jon was sleeping on the floor and Oliver was sleeping in the bathtub. As it turns out, they both talk in their sleep and whisper the horrors.
Jon and Gerry have to share a bed and instead of sleeping they just start talking and don't stop. They almost relax and go to bed at 2 AM, but then Gerry rolls over on his side to tell Jon about a ladybug he saw once that had almost the exact colors as a weird meat monster he and Gertrude faced and that starts another two hours worth of banter.
Jack and Agnes get a hotel and the only one bed scenario happens. Agnes is sitting on the bed with a completely straight face thinking about how charming this scenario is. Meanwhile, Jack is laying on the floor practically giggling and kicking his feet as the happiest man alive.
Gertrude and Agnes have to share a bed and Agnes is worried about how fire prone she is. Without a word Gertrude casually pulls a heat resistant suit from her luggage like she's simply unpacking her toiletries. Turns out she always carries that with her.
Gertrude and Emma have to share a bed. Most of the night is spent with Emma trying to stealthily lean webs off her pillows and quietly spy maneuver into the bathroom so she can flush them down the toilet without Gertrude realizing. Meanwhile Gertrude is so busy thinking about her plans for the next day that she doesn't really notice...except for worrying a bit about the state of Emma's stomach.
Jon and Tim have to share a bed and somehow it turns into a petty off. Tim says that he would rather sleep in a chair, which makes Jon say that he has work to do and probably won't sleep anyways therefore Tim should take the bed, which makes Tim insist that he doesn't take the bed, which makes Jon insist that it's fine for him to take the bed. In the end, their arguing somehow leads to neither of them in the bed and both o them getting yelled at by hotel security for trying to sleep in the hallway.
Breekon and Hope are supposed to share a bed but then Hope eats it.
Peter and Elias get put into the only one bed dilemma and it's just Peter refusing to sleep anywhere near Elias and going "This will give him a small taste of how encompassing solitude can be on the heart," and meanwhile Elias is putting on his sleep mask, fluffing his pillow, tucking himself in, and having one of the most thoughtless sleeps of his life.
Distortion Michael and Gerard have to share a bed. Before Gerry can even get out that he doesn't mind sharing Michael has already split the bed clean in half to be "helpful." There's stuffing everywhere. It looks like they murdered a bunch of teddy bears. When they leave they go through the window because Gerry knows he can't explain.
Basira and Daisy have to share a bed. Daisy asks if she can listen to a podcast while she sleeps and Basira says that she doesn't mind. Well, she didn't think she did. This how Basira figures out that A: Daisy listens to The Archers. B: She doesn't really like The Archers. C: Daisy will wake up from a dead sleep and go "I was listening to that," if you try to turn off The Archers. It was a long night.

School is currently robbing me of any motivation to actually write, but the horrors (severe obsession with Michael Shelley) persist so I have made
The Full List Of Ways Michael Shelley Screws With The Timeline (that I know of)
Michael Shelley is hired to replace Fiona Law after she gets tricked into The Coffin in 2003 but somehow still worked with Eric Delano, who notably quit and got killed around the 1980s.
Michael Shelley and Sarah Carpenter both meet their respective ends some time between 2009-2011. However, after their deaths Gertrude spoke to Agnes Montague, who died in 2006.
Eric Delano, Emma Harvey and Gertrude Robinson are all mentioned to be about the same age in MAG 167, and we know Eric died before he was really considered "old". This means that for Michael to have worked with Eric, he would've had to known Gertrude before she was an old lady, which makes his view of her make much less sense. He has no reason to assume her to be anything but fully competent and capable to take care of herself if she's just middle aged or something, and therefore she has no reason to start acting frailer to keep manipulating him (as seen in MAG 99).
Feel free to mention anything I might have missed
so my friend and I started a strange joke a While ago about Eric having vaguely prophetic, nonsensical dreams and i do think he would randomly drop them onto his coworkers over lunch
