!!! How, HOW are we going to be ready in time...

Is that big bubbles or small bubbles bags and does the quality matter? I can't work out how you can wrap all of yourself so that every bit is protected and the bubble wrap is securely taped so that it won't come off mid-plummet. I think you have to have an assistant. Supposing some part of the packaging became disconnected in mid-air and you were killed on landing, would your assistant then be charged with woman slaughter? I don't think Stephen Fry has thought this through.

Thatbags In the interest of scientific advancement would you like to prove that? It actually sounds as if it might be fun!

Don't be coy petallus - did you have something in mind?

Think I'd have to go for forty layers, Bags, just to be sure...

Yes, how do they know that it's 39 layers?????????

What poor intern have they pushed off the roof?

And did they test it with only 38 layers the first time? We should be told.

Scroll down for a bubble wrap soda fountain!

She also did a very good jelly fish one with bubble wrap too!

There is a Spider Man, a Super Man, I know there is a Wonder Woman, (as we all are) perhaps they will be a Bubble Woman

I will have you all know that I am suffering so badly just now from, NO BUBBLE WRAP any where in the house, or garden, or garage. I know because I have been search all day for some. I have a terrible urge to get popping, but alas I am denied this delectable pastime for the lack of the stuff. We do have a 24 hour Tesco a few miles from here but Mr T wont give me the car keys to drive to said store to purchase any.
Any suggestions for a substitute.

I have enjoyed this comedy thread so much, lets have lots more.

Don't panic, Thistledo - it's ages until the 27th, plenty long enough for you to get some bubble-wrap and Be Aware of it!

Bladder wrack <---- spelling, Seaweed

You can get an app for your phone(on ways to combat boredom) that includes popping bubble wrap.

I only know this because GS1 told me.

That's a bit worrying, dustyangel! An app for everything...will there be anything left for our grandchildren to actually experience?

Thistle Blu Tack mangling can be therapeutic too, but it does seem to leave your hands very dry.



So I've been told [innocent face emoticon]

Ah, yes, Blu-Tak kneading and pummelling can be very satisfying!
And you only need a small amount...

Ouch! Ribs are hurting from the laughter . my eldest daughter - a sensible, logical girl - is a blue tak mangler; could this be why she is intelligent?

Actually, if you mangle it in certain ways, you can get it to pop!

I'll need a breathing tube. Snorkle maybe. Extra long unless....

How thick is 39 layers of bubble wrap? It will depend on the type. oh heck.

Y'know what? I think someone worked this out on a computer modelling doodaa. Hmm. Perhaps not close enough to reality.

Just keep dancing on your bubble wrap, grans, or roll some up and twist.

Sorry to be a proper popper-party pooper, but what do we do with the popped polythene

Good thinking batman OGM

It makes an ideal gift for anyone who is NOT suffering from stress!

Or, very rich, stressed people who are above doing their own popping, but can perhaps no longer afford to pay a personal popper, pre-popped bubble wrap, for the person who has everything.

I don't think there will be a lot of people using 39 layers and throwing themselves out windows.Have you priced the stuff!

It would have to be a sponsored event. By the bubble-wrap manufacturers!
