Bang!

Thats all.

Didn't you get months of unexplainable brake rub as the bulge passed your blocks?

Clearly you use your brake too much and have worn though the rim.;)

Ooh, err missus...

I had that happen to me some years back on my MTB, scared the crap outta me!!!
Luckily just going slowly when it happened!

Just had fixed a puncture on it and left the bike in the kitchen to get some sleep at 3 last night then heard a massive bang, went out to see the that.

Leaning bike against the radiator ?

Nah, a pale green sofa.

The rim is an ancient MA2, i reckon it had just developed some sort of weakness and couldn't take the pressure any more.

Better in the kitchen than on the highway - as my mum used to say.
