    Phone the local fire brigade and ask them if they can send a fire safety officer round to give you some fire safety tips. Show him into the room and tell him what you intend. Make sure that there is a bucket of petrol on the floor next the mattress.

    Offer him a ciggie and light one yourself.

    Next thing you know, he will have his mates round and they will carry the mattress downstairs for you.

    to save the house burning down you could knock it down then burn the mattress & then rebuild it. then again might be easier to break the window & fuck the matress out the window

    How to Make a Mattress



    Difficulty: Easy
    Instructions.Things You'll Need:
    Two cotton flat sheets in the size desired
    Stuffing material
    Sewing machine and thread


    1
    Sew the two flat sheets together on three sides, inside out, using a 1-inch seam. Repeat the process a quarter-inch away from the first seam. This will add stability. Turn the mattress sheet cover right side out where the seams are on the inside.

    2
    Decide if you wish to stuff your mattress with down feathers, shredded, flat, or egg carton-shaped fiber foam or with memory foam or other materials. Ripped-up clothing can be used as stuffing if desired. If using flat or other foam sheets, cut the foam a quarter-inch smaller than the size of the sewn-together mattress sleeve sheets.

    3
    Begin stuffing your mattress cover. For foam sheets, roll up the covers much as you would put on a sock and start at one end of the foam and work the cover up to the opposite end. For shredded foam or down feathers, stuff the material into the cover until full.

    4
    Pin or hand-stitch the end of the mattress cover together. Once you have a straight seam, sew the ends together using the sewing machine, attempting to keep the one-inch seam margins. Sew a second seam close to the first line of stitching to ensure the seams do not rip out.
    .

    Reverse this process and fuck it out the window .... that should do it...

    No. He is a partial nutter pretending to be a complete nutter.

    “All right,” said the Cat; and this time it vanished quite slowly, beginning with the end of the tail, and ending with the grin, which remained some time after the rest of it had gone.
