    Can anyone recommend the best way of dealing with VHS tapes? I'm doiing a massive clear out soon, and I know that there will be a lot of video tapes to get rid of. I think its pretty much a given now that they are worthless, and most people wont even take them for free now, but I'd rather avoid just dumping them all if possible. (a lot of them are just blank tapes with films off the telly, so absolutely worthless). I dont know if there are any facilities for recycling these things, but any suggestions would be welcome.

    How about strip your girlfriend, wrap her up (Mummy style) with video tape, take a few polaroids and send them to Dick Roche and cc the Green's monthly newsletter.

    It may not be classy, but it's art and better than some of the stuff coming from these quarters!

    are you sure you don't have one of the lost wonderly wagon episodes on one of them ?

    Cool. Two good suggestions there, thanks. I thin I'll go with a 50/50 spread between both ideas! :D
