VHS tapes - for the artist, props builder, the nostalgic, theatre
They're mainly for arts and crafts, using the magnetic tape in mixed media works, the tape as a whole in sculpture. I was going to do a big Afro Samurai portrait. But I'm no Erika Iris Simmons (have you SEEN her magnetic tape art? Gosh, it's brilliant! I'll include a picture of her more 'simple' works for reference. You should Google Image search her, you won't be disappointed!) Anyway, I have my hand in too many hobbies, so I shall pass this on to someone who has more creative energy than me.
So, free boxes of tapes to any one who wants to try their hand at some funky art.
Or maybe you want to add some to your props department for all those retro scenes set 10-30 years ago.
Or use them as building blocks with your children/grandchildren as a metaphor for building new things out of the relics of a bygone age. (Speaking of children, apparently young children LOVE these, just unreeling them seems to give them so much joy, you can do this before you artify them)
Maybe you even still have a player and want to attempt to watch these, I won't judge.
Poll: Is street parking fair game?
Some people are frustrated by their neighbours or neighbour's friends parking on the street outside their house. This means they have to park further away themselves.
Do you think it is inconsiderate to park directly outside a neighbour's house on the road? Or do you think street parking is fair game?

SCAM ALERT
Own your Online website is part of the New Zealand government's work to raise understanding of cyber security issues for individuals and businesses, they have shared a message about a new scam that is targeting Kiwis.
Own Your Online say:
We are seeing a significant increase in reporting of ‘Hi Mum’ scams.
A ‘Hi Mum’ scam is a scam where a random message from an unknown number is sent to you claiming to be from a close relative, usually your son or daughter.
The fake relative often claims their phone is broken – which is why they’re contacting you from a different number – and will ask you to do something, sometimes asking you to help them with a payment or to do something by clicking a link.
If you receive one of these, don’t click the links. Try to contact your relative using their normal number which is probably still working.
You can also report these scam messages by forwarding free to Department of Internal Affairs on 7726
