How big is massive?

[HeyWayne]

Driving back home yesterday having been shopping, and as we passed through Harpenden we noticed several dudes holding up signs that said "Massive Rug Sale".

OK, how big is a massive rug, and where would you put it if you had room?

Ive seen several of these signs too - "massive" methinks is rather a "descriptive" term - when you actually get inside the hall/room etc. the choice - and indeed sizes of the rugs are rather smaller than you would expect! You pays your money and takes your choice! Bernie

I think this is a lose term they are using to bring you in by saying the rugs are massive yet the word although makes you think of big is a word that means a group of flowers , so they have alot of rugs but they don't have to be big.
and no i didn't swallow a dictionary , just to much ALI G

Surely it should be a massive sale of rugs.

Wayne got Fursty Ferret tonight £4 for three bottles

T'is good stuff that, enjoy. I purchased a bottle of Bombadier Satans Mill today. Haven't tried it yet, but I'll let you know.

Just finishing off a glass of Reserva Rioja, then I'm gonna plough my way through a ltr tin of Formidable Ale.

Lots of Ale offers on at the moment, which is great!

Is there a jungle?

Do you want there to be one?

Do you want there to be one?

Make it so...

HeyWayne, you are priceless. This is the funniest thread I have ever read.

I would like to point out, however, that strictly speaking the word 'massive' has nothing to do with size. A 'massive rug' is one with considerable mass - perhaps one made from lead, or from my ex-mother-in-law's gravy.

A 'low-mass rug sale' would have been much more intriguing. You could have floated home on one of those babies, Sinbad stylee.

Programme complete - enter when ready (my very own hollow sweet - or should that be toot sweet?)

So his missive was a massive mistake?
