Recently I've been thinking about how great tape is. I always thought my fave was double-sided sticky tape, but now I'm developing a love for parcel tape. Masking tape probably comes somewhere in my top 5 too. Honorable mention to duct tape - the musician's best friend.

Surely I can't be the only one with such mundane appreciations... Which of these fine sticky rolls is your fave?

My next door neighbour (a rather elderly gentleman) insists on parking his car in the driveway/passageway between my house and his - there is enough room (just) to get my car past his whilst parked there (our garages are at the rear of the houses) as long as he parks up close to the wall...

...so this weekend he was parking up close to his wall when he "misjudged it" a little and crashed into the waste-pipe running down the side of the wall (his waste-pipe not mine). He cracked it all up but apparently did not notice - the upshot of which was every time him or his equally elderly wife flushed their toilet, copious amounts of "waste water" (etc) sprayed out into the driveway (and over his car).

Being a good neighbour I pointed this out to him, suggesting he needed to get it repaired ASAP - but in the mean time I also patched up the cracked pipe with a good few feet of DUCT TAPE (see there was a point to all this).

So DUCT TAPE for the win - mostly because it has saved my driveway being covered in my neighbours effluent for the last few days. :)

^You have neighbours?

What are you doing living amongst peasants? Next you'll be telling me you live in a semi-detached M'Lord.

Just so I'm not spamming, I'll give a vote to electrical tape. Brilliant stuff.

Aye if I can't fix it with duck tape then it probably can't be fixed. So many things around the house (or even my car) are held together with a combination of cable ties and duct tape.

Electrical tape is the absolute worst, closely followed by double sided tape.

Gorilla tape for me. It's every bit as good as duct tape, but can be easily removed without damaging the coaster's paint job.

I use to love the surgical tape to put over my dermal piercings at night. But, now that they've been retired I have no use for it anymore. I'd say masking tape or clear duct tape <3 Masking tape sucks but it's easy to get off the roll whereas duct tape can be a nightmare.

I love the smell of Sellotape, but another vote for duct tape here.

Masking tape - tearing it without scissors or teeth wins it for me.

I hate parcel tape, mainly because the admin girls use it every day in the office and it's like torture.
