Thanks to the wonders of Ebay, I am now the proud owner of a bubblewrap roll a foot wide and 3 hundred feet long.
So, far, I'm planning on seeing how well twiglets fare on a bubblewrapped cross atlantic flight to a friend in Vermont, and I've popped a bit, but does anyone have any other ideas I could use it for?

excellent wrapping for photons for twirling
It was a day for screaming at inanimate objects.
What this calls for is a special mix of psychology and extreme violence...

okay, put on a snorkle(so you can breathe), then wrap yourself, in about 50 feet of the stuff, and role down stairs in public places and stuff, filming it of course so you can post it here!!!
bubble wrap is fun!!!
It's all good

Surely he'd drop the camera as he bounced down the steps.

Not if the camera was inside the bubble wrao, sorta strapped to his chest.
Or he coulds make his own fat suit!!!

Cunning plans, but I think I'd prefer to do the filming while someone else rolls down the stairs
A home-made version of those sumo suits would be pretty fun too.
The whole roll cost about £10 - I just couldn't resist

I'm forever blowing bubbles...
pretty bubbles in the air,
they fly so high, nearly reach the sky...
then like my dreams, they fade, and die.
fortunes always hiding,
I've looked everywhere,
I'm forever blowing bubbles
pretty bubbles,
everywhere.

You should send all your friends little squares of bubble wrap in envelopes for them to pop. Believe me - It'll make their day! (If they're half as silly as the rest of us....)

Now Ros, you know you should NEVER forget your E.
I would like to second Napalms idea of everybody getting a square, but I know how precious people get with their bubble wrap. You probably wouldn't be too happy about sharing with us all I'm sure.
I'd still like to volunteer for the jumping/rolling down stairs thang....

300 feet of it is enough for a tandem jump I think

I'm not sure which of the fantastic ideas on here I'm going to do, but I'll make sure I document the ones that go really well.
Also, I'm going to take as much as I have left to clapham on the 5th - anyone there will be welcombe to have a bit and pop to their heart's content
But there's no sense crying over every mistake. You just keep on trying till you run out of cake.

Oh yeah, anyone who can't make it on the 5th and still really wants some, PM me your address, I'll send you a few feet.
edit.. I'll send a few feet of bubblewrap, not actual feet, although that would be quite funny

lol @ DFQ I'll make a mental note sweetie....
Bram's idea is good - make a blanket. That way everyone can pop some at clapham when they sit down, and if it rains you can use it as a tent!

Does the whole bubble wrap philosophy work with ravn' lights? Those crystals seem like they'd break off no matter what.
