Tin opener is your friend. Probably save a finger or two as well.

My wife bought a tin opener from IKEA. I’ve tried many times to open tins with it and always end up asking my wife how to do it.

I know this was once discussed by another poster.
But, Fray Bentos have now changed their recommended tin openers.
This may sound very minor, but I have the previously recommended one and it used to be perfect, it now won’t even half open the new version of the tin. Absolute swindlers.

Going to the dentist tomorrow for a tooth extraction. Normal price is about £120. I was told the minimum charge is now £200 as they have to wear PPE. I didn’t realise PPE was that expensive.

Tried and failed !, the wife sorted it with a pair of pliers.

Christ. I went to Ikea once, years ago, and for some reason bought one of them! Kin origami is easier.

I’m waiting on appointment as I’m having grief again. Was due root canal before lockdown, now just asked him to pull it out.
He said that’s ok, but if any drilling is involved with anyone then the deep cleaning they are required to do after the drill will take 1.5 hours, so they are swerving doing that.

Trogladytes who confuse "our" and "are".
Guarenteed to rage me harder than a slave based Davek post.

I wish I’d waited a few months now as the tooth rarely bothers me. It’s fairly lose so hopefully they’ll only need a bit of string tied to a door handle.

Just got a tin of corned beef out of the cupboard, no key on top.

Pair of long nosed pliers works - or any pliers
Anyway, it doesnt taste as nice as it used to, now they've reduced all the unhealthy fat, salt and stuff.

'been' and 'being' for me. There's another website I go on where a guy uses 'been' when it should be 'being' in almost every post. I thought about telling him but he's a mod!
