Video killed the radio star......

With the Test Match over, the dvd player unavailable, computer in use and the rain falling all day I had a look through my video collection. And I don't mean the one movie ones you buy in HMV/Smiths/etc, but the one hundred and five recorded ones that I've taped over the years.

They come in three sorts. Those that the label is what is on the tape, the ones where the label isn't what's in the tape and the ones that just have no label.

The majority are the first. There are maybe half a dozen of the second and about twenty of the third.

I shall obviously have to watch through the first lot, just to make sure that there's not anything else on them. The second lot I generally do know what's on them, it's just that the label is wrong. But I'll watch through them anyway. As for the third lot.. well... I'll have to watch through them just to see what's there!!!

So, how long to watch one hundred and five videos, some three, some four hours.... most on long play (so six/eight hours long).....?? Approx seven hundred and thirty odd hours, or thirty days.... continuously.

A little bit of time then!!
