On the grounds that I've done it before, erm... as much money as I currently have...which is erm... about £10 in 2ps and a 20pence piece

*tears still running down face* I spend a fair bit of my time at work drawing cavity wall insulation. It never occurred to me that the stuff could be musical 
I should try specifying it and see if anyone notices - '13mm through-colour render on Thermalite blocks, 50mm cavity, 50mm styrofoam insulation in C sharp...' (sorry - perhaps not as funny to non-architects, though the image of some poor percussionist banging manically on a foamy stylophone might be 
)

Aawwww don't cry Cakewalker, our jokes weren't that bad...
Besides, I worked in a packaging place last summer (student jobs! The Joy!) so musical styrofoam was one of my few amusements!

OMG!?!
We are moving labs next week and I'm just seen what they ae using to package some of the equipment. There are several 5 foot tall rolls of bubble wrap (they are 3 foot across), just standing there, not being watched by anybody. 
*attempts to resist the urge to go pop bubbles*

*laughs and shudders at the bubblewrap*
Believe me after a while you will get bored, you think you won't, you think it'll be great fun spending your summer playing with bubblewrap and stylophones but then 3 months down the line you'll be screaming to escape...

It could be a trap. You might *think* nobody is watching it, but there could be secret hidden cameras.

I managed to find myself a small piece to tide me over until that have finished with the big stuff.
*pop,pop*
But I do hope they end up with one roll spare.

The one disadvantage of giving my last job up, there was a constant supply

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooo! *
s in, in slowmo and dives towards the bubble wrap*
You shouldn't pop it!
They fill the bubbles with horrible gasses that damage the environment!

If you're telling me popping bubblewrap is no longer considered acceptable behaviour, I shall have to kill myself.

Cakewalker Posted Apr 22, 2003
Erm, isn't ning in slow-mo and diving towards the bubble wrap in a bid to save the environment by stopping people popping the bubbles a bit counter-productive?

Especially if the only soft place to land is _on_ the bubble wrap...

*places large sheet of bubble wrap on the floor under Abi as she floats through the air*

This is *very* slow-mo, isn't it?
