at my first place of employment i was always bored, so for some reason i dedicated a lot of time to removing the sticky part off selotape rolls, thus leaving you with a pile of gooey stuff and a ream of crappy celophane. Christ, i can’t believe you made me remember this. ;)

Its gotta be proper “sellotape” brand sellotape though, doesn’t work with cheap stuff.

Ok: proper sellotape. *makes note*
What next? Is it a fingernail job, or are special tools required? Where can I learn the best sellotechniques? Is there a website? I NEED TO KNOW!

:D i can’t believe it! A shameful exercise in boredom relief and i get treated like some sticky god!

Erm…(!) its not a fingernail job per se, its more a fingertip experience. Essentially just pull a bit of tape between your finger and thumb and start rubbing, the sticky stuff should start coming off.

I may write a book on the subject…

someone from Blackburn was on the telle last night, he used the word “paedofiddling” to describe the possible actions of a sex pest…

They were talking about women brest feeding in public and he said it should be banned as “those perverts might come down here paedofiddling!” :D

see, someone could appear to be “paedofiddling” in their trouser pocket, but they might actually be de-stickification-ing.

Its a knife-edge.

HEY!! the very act of de-stickification-ing in such inappropriate situations could be the birth of…

EXTREME DE-STICKIFICATION-ING!!

Yeah, that qualifies! Although to be fair in a situation where you’ve got to decide whether:

a) you want to stop yourself from dying in a bloody horrible mangled bone crushing mess on the ground, or
b) its simply imperative that the sellotape MUST be removed from the goo

then i think you’re probably gonna go with a)and pull the damn cord.

I think you’re getting your priorities very wrong there, I must say.

What’s the use of being alive and well if you have to bear the burden of sellotape with the cellophane and adhesive still intact..?!

Dan, if you were a true Sellotape fanatic, you’d know exactly just how to save your life by way of sellotape.
Degunking sellotape can get you out of all kinds of sticky situations.

You’ve obviously not been trying the ‘Baddum Tish Mantra Method of Plummeting Death Avoidance’ hard enough. It’s easy: I can do it in my sleep.

Oh. You don’t think… maybe… it was just a dream? :eek:

Oh dear. This isn’t going to do the sales of my new self-help book any good at all… :(

Don’t worry, there’s a special offer going on at the moment: Buy a book by one author, and get publicly laughed at by the other.

I just hope there is a chapter early on about how to find the start of the roll in the first place.

I mean, it’s not even as if I bite my nails, but no matter how much I run a nail around the roll, I just can’t get a purchase on that damned stuff.

Seriously, there better be diagrams on how to do this specialist maneuver

I know. :(
And I wonder if there’ll be special mention of advanced techniques, such as the Stanley Knife Sever, where you cut straight through the roll at one point, leaving you with a convenient collection of sellotape strips?

I know it’s blasphemy to some eyes, but I feel there should be room for tolerance in the selotape community.
