    "A lot of" / "много"

    Hi, I'm 15 and am soon taking GCSE qualification exams in Russian. I have a fairly simple question to ask:

    Is there any word to express "lots of," "loads of" or another word/phrase which expresses an amount larger than "a lot"?

    Thanks for your help.

    P.S. I think I'll be staying around here, as it reminds me of how much I still have to learn in order to master this language. It's very complicated, but I'm getting there!

    много - many, a lot.
    очень много, уйма - lots of, great lot
    несметное количество - innumerable
    невозможно сосчитать - it`s impossible to count
    до фига - (slang) lots of
    видимо-невидимо - immense quantity
    Please correct my mistakes in English

    Pick up any word\phrase you like but bear in mind that they are more or less colloqual or slangish.

    -масса Мы обнаружили на чердаке массу стариннх вещей.
    -куча Я нашел сайт с кучей полезного софта.
    -уйма У меня еще уйма времени до теста.
    -тонны А я нашел другой сайт с тоннами книг.
