Taping Things
Just speaking to my wife about a TV show and said I would tape it.
That's a strange term isn't it. Quite retro in fact. When was the last time you "taped' anything?
Our video recorder is in the loft, and I don't even own a cassette recorder. To be more accurate I 'hard disked' it on our PVR. Before we owned a PVR I would have 'DVDed' it.
I fondly remember making mixed tapes, either just for myself in the car, or as a soppy gift for someone special (ahhhhh
), but that no longer happens, and I don't know anyone who carries on the practice. I used to record the top 40 on radio 1 and edit it into my own compilations.
Does anyone out there still tape things?

We say tape, as in record. And use the PVR.

Re: Taping Things
I still say 'tape' it but my hubby says record it and my kids say record it.
My 5 year old knows how to pause and rewind live TV, oh how times change, i remeber our betamax tape player and the remote was on a Wire you had to plug into the recorder to play anything!!

My 5 year old has learned that too.
What she doesn't understand is why you can't fast forward live TV when the adverts start

Re: Taping Things
My ds has aspergers and he has fads, the current one is record players but previous was VCRs and we have three typewriters in the house, so in answer to the question, when did you last tape something, it was Tuesday and we copied it from the sky anytime onto a genuine retro cassette tape!
He is currently making his own paper record player out of cardboard a chop stick a needle and a funnel made of paper and tinfoil. (YouTube it if you, like me, had never heard of this) it works, but he has to listen to the records I had in the loft, mums Adam faith, dh's frankie gth and my micheal jackson
Pmsl!
