    I had a VCR that had a barcode reader built into the remote to scan the barcodes they used to have in TV guides for recording programmes, was replaced or superseeded or something by VideoPlus.
    It was made by Panasonic...Anyone remember them?

    /starts science rant...
    cling film nowadays has some chemical directly derived from the female hormone oestrogen. this chemical is fat-soluble, and can and will dissolve into fatty food wrapped in it. it has been found that males who wrap cheese sarnies and the like in cling film have higher levels of oestrogen in their bodies, causing them to do strange things like grow breasts n that. wierd but cool aint it...

    Whoever invented cling film deserves a medal!! It has provided generations of students hours of fun... (If you don't know what I mean, use your imagination... )

    me and a m8 managed to caus traffic chaos with it, just put it between 2 or more lamposts across the road at about 2' or 3' off the floor, hide, watch and laugh. best done at night, especially if ya put model glue or summat on the cling film. people get pissed off at that one for some reason...

    Naa you are thinking of duct tape awesome stuff, managed to tape a person in the corner on the roof of a room at a LAN not long ago, looked like he had been attacked by spiderman. He was there totally supported by 3 rolls of tape for half an hour before we cut him down

    *grin* it has to be real duck tape, rather than the wussy own-brand duct tape.. there is a difference.
    I agree about cling film - needs to be much more plasticy and stronger too

    One of the best cling film trick we've done was to put it on one of the toilet bowl in one of the LANs... Very late at night - after around 10 hours of action, most people were a little zoned... Can you imagine that drumming sound which followed by a string of 4-letter words.
