Abstract: A class of groups is investigated, each of which has a fairly simple presentation . For example the group R=(a,b,c,d|a3=b3=c3=d3=1,ba1=dc1,ca1=db1) is in the class. Such a group does not have as a homomorphic image any group which is a 2-orbifold group or which is a group of isometries of the reals. However it does have incompatible splittings over subgroups which are not small. This contradicts some ideas I had about universal JSJ decompostions for finitely presented groups over finitely generated subgroups. Such a group also has an unstable action on an R-tree and a cocompact action on a CAT(0) cube complex with finite cyclic point stabilizers, and trivial edge stabilizers.
