Opening a bottle of red.

So, our corkscrew died a couple of weeks back.

Sausage casserole for tea, and Peter has been yelling at/with his friends on XBox Live, so I decide to improvise.

I recall, from my youth, pushing a cork down with my finger. No joy, let's try a kitchen knife sharpener to push it in.

>Sploosh!<

"Are you OK dear?"

"Yeah, fine" wiping wine from the ceiling, doors, worktops, back of my shirt...

Bastard is, the cork's in the bottle, so it'll have to be drunk.

As will I.

Could you not have just tapped the top off the bottle with something flat and metal like they don on TV with machettes and shiz? :lol:
