I was a bit non too PC for them mate ,, I refused to call a homosexual anything other than " a homosexual " not that silly missuse of that 3 letter word they insist on

I am quite proud of my lifetime ban ,, allthough its not unique

^ would that be 'omo' as in washing powder?


I was banned from there many moons ago...

No, it really doesn't, because they make the tins rectangular to give the 'mystery meat' less of a dog-food appearance. A normal can opener won't work. Any suggestions, anyone?

I think loy toy invented that one

I can remember a time, just, when I usta open things. The good ole days.

After being in Thailand for a while I started getting violent in this simple chore, so I gave it up.

These days, I just pass it to the chick with the strangely blurred face. Works a charm.

Since I started using the horizontal openers, that cut the side of the tin... ive never had any problems. If you want guaranteed opening, I would suggest removing the paper from the tin and baking it in an oven at 200C. The tin will open eventuality, though it might be a little messy.

Yeah. My suggested method is to place the can, unopened, in a saucepan full of water. Dont pierce it. Bring it to the boil and let it simmer. Leave the kitchen and wait till you hear the sound of the can opening itself. Turn the heat off and scrape the beans or other contents off the ceiling with a spatula. Hey presto!

Almost lost the end of my finger opening a corned beef can with that clockspring of razor-sharp metal that it produces. Still have the scar now..

Okay, I was drunk and hungry after coming home late from the pub. I abandoned the corn beef sarnie and put the chip pan on instead.

I had to bump this one!!

A few days ago i bought a can of corned beef. Thinking that i would fry up some onions and tatties and corned beef.

Lo and behold, there is not a "key" on the tin of corned beef!! I tried the can opener, to no avail.

Tomorrow, back to shop to get a refund. With a rather bashed around can.

Those damn things are hard enough to get open with that key thing...

Dilemma sorted, bought another can with a "key". Strange though, most of the other cans didn't have a key... Swiss efficiency, eh?!

I hate those keys, Pats. I end up opening them with a proper can opener!
