Just get a jay cloth(think thats wat they are called)

wet one of them and use that to wipe them and dry them off wit a tea towel, will take you a while i'd imagine,

Feck that. Was thinking more along the lines of throwing them all into a big basin with some kind of detergent/ cleaner and leaqving them soak.

You'd prob have to pay them, forget it. I stuck mine in a sock net and put them in the washing machine on 'shoe wash'. Worked fine.

This is what I do, but you still have to dry them off by hand or the dirty water will just dry onto them.

Rather than drying them one by one, just lay a couple of towels on a table, put the chips onto the towels in a single layer, then lay a towel on top of the chips and just run your hands over the towel applying a little pressure.

For the detergent I just use fairy liquid in warm/hot water.

Honestly, it's a fairly time consuming process whatever way you do it.

I did try putting them in the dishwasher once, but some of the chips lost some of their color. Probably depends on what your chips are made of.

It's just a net you put your socks into before the wash so they dont get lost/mixed up with the other stuff in the wash.

Take a handful of chips and put them in the dishwasher. If they come through ok, put the rest in.

wasn't this question asked a couple of years ago and the op managed to melt them?

if i was u i'd rescue a long haired collie, mix them in his mane and then bring him for a walk in a tall field of grass, or, since it's winter, on a snowy hill.

washing up liquid and warm water will lead to the Apocalypse, do not do it!

there's another 5 minutes of my life i'll never get back....

whatever you do, afterwards ring a certain Dub casino and pass on the advice, found it very difficult to pick up one just one chip in there on a recent visit...

I had a brown fitz friday night scalp chip that I brought home accidentally.
When my trousers got washed and dried the sparkling clean scalps chip fell to the ground . I returned it on my next visit. So if you knock someone out on Friday and win an immaculate brown chip, that'll probably be the fellow. So my tip is to pack all your chimps into your trousers and wash them togerher. It works I tell ya.

I was doing some pro active creeping. Its a technique I employ Adam! Basically, you put up aload of "traps" like the one you mentioned to entice the prey (women in this case, seen as im not partial to a bit of the oul homosexuality) to open the lines of communication with you, rather than the more obvious way of going to them. This way you appear less creepy. It works.

So where does it go from there?

"Anyone have Love Actually?"
"Hey, I do"
"Cool [checks profile to see if she meets standards], want to bring it over to mine and we can watch it together?"

Does that really work?

That was Mr. Fibble washing his plastic cards.
From what I remember.

Dishwasher = melted cards
Washing machine = bingo
