Is an '8 X 10' equivalent to a '1 X 80'?? Eh??

Good morning all.
Right then, I've now considered the question posed.
From a major observation just after waking up this morning I can state categorically that a Slumberland spring loaded, memory foam King Size mattress (80" x 72") performs well as a larger rectangular speaker.
Upon breaking wind whilst laying in bed at daybreak, I noted that there was a massive amplfication of the sound caused by the mattress coil springs vibrating and the bed frame resonating in sympathy as the the vibrations were transfered via the taught mattress cover (the tightly fitted bottom sheet may also have assisted this transfer).
All frequencies were amplified with a preponderance for mids and bass to blast through.
The room was filled with sound.
A noticeable extra was that there appeared to be uncalled for backing vocals from the missus along the lines of "Oh no, not again, do you have to?. :o
There was also a strange smell of rotten cabbage a few moments after.
My conclusion so far is that this idea of a large rectangular mattress / speaker may do the jobby as well.
I will continue with my research and keep you posted.
(now off for my purile sh*t, shower and shave). :)

Sorry Jazzneck, I deleted it thinking no-one in his right mind would've seen it ... and it seems I was right. :lol:
Just thought I wasn't writing funny enough, see.

Done - but I had a struggle trying to work out which were verbs, adjectives and nouns. :D
Please feel free to correct accordingly!

Exactly the same here. :D . So I just gave it a go, and imagined I'd get clubbed down for exactly that. :lol:
OK then, I'll give it a go again. There are no fees.

Pas mal, mon brave!

And that's about the limit of my foreign language knowledge, apart from loads of swear words in French, German and a bit of Maltese.

Also I learnt "Noch ein Bier, bitte", "Wo sind die Maedchen?", "Zehn litres Benzin, bitte" - very useful when touring the Ruhr Valley!

Is 'pluralise' a word (in English as opposed to American)? Do we not 'make plural'?
[/quote]

It is, according to my firefox UK English dictionary ;) (if I was speaking 'mirkin it would be "pluralize")
