Video Tapes

Once Fester got his feet firmly under my table, after our second son was born, Bazoukiboy moved into his flat.  This was a relief as far as house insurance was concerned.  Also he looks after it a lot better than Fester ever did.   

Despite his care there was a leak from a damaged chimney stack into the flat’s attic, where Fester had a load of stuff stored.    
We took the opportunity to also clear out the office he still had there, and bring over any things he thought might be useful.

Amongst the treasures unearthed from Fester's loft at the flat were some Open University vhs tapes.  
Ferretfingers insisted we keep them, has managed to get the video bits on our old tellies to work and has spent the evening watching Geology and Chemistry programmes.   
He loves educational videos (and dvds) so if anyone here has any they want rid of we'll give them a good home.   
He's not fussy, anything schools/educational from 5 upwards, any subject. 
If nothing else it may deter him from sending lists of requests for birthday and Christmas presents to his godfather.
Kentishlady  We have 'Amphibian', one of the Eyewitness series. Any good?
Woolerwoman  Oh God bless him. I must admit, there is something mesmeric about those old OU lectures. I miss them. If you couldn't understand the lecture at least the clothes were funny.
