12,000 spare safety matches, any ideas what to do with them?

It will seem like it after you have listed 12,000 lots!

Yes it is a word, I looked it up in Ignatius The Iguana's Igglish Igtionary.

A trail of matches, maybe ?3*3? ?10? in all, or maybe a thicker trail, would work like a fuse, light one end and the fire would run along the trail. The person lighting it could then be far enough from the whoosh. That would need some experiments to find out the size if the trail which would sustain a fire to run along the trail

Carefully remove the heads, sprinkle the bits in a line down the garden path and ignite. Build the Taj Mahal with the sticks.

Somebody has probably already given this reply, but...

Why not make a model of a REALLY REALLY REALLY BIG match?

Just a thought

Glue them together and make a piece of 1x1or2x2 then sell it on E-BA

The message from TerryW contains these words:

If there are any spares I need about forty. Print 40 simple words and 40 matching pictures - put the words on the cover and the picture in drawer and hand (not all at once to start with) to a child learning to read.

Wait for summer and then ignite 12,000 (slow-moving) wasps ?

I'd pay to see that,

The message from pitbull contains these words:

Discover one of them has a picture of the Virgin Mary burnt into it, then flog 'em on eBay.

Is that Welsh?

No, it was a (g)iggle.

No - really?

We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the drugs began to take hold. I remember "Mary Fisher" saying something like:
