Oh my wordy word. Every day's a school day. I've seen it, but still don't quite believe it. Must try that when I get home.

It would, because in 1982 I borrowed a bottle opener from a hotel barman and forgot to give it back.

Due to the timing of the row, my guess is that it started over where you would eat. You can be a fussy bugger over that at times mate, maybe you were delaying the meal choice in favour of a few more victory ales first, and combine that with a tired Mrs Easy, who may be starting to get hangry, and you're playing with matches in the hay barn. The row could then have literally gone in any direction, with any old past issue being aired. I wouldn't mind betting the toilet seat being left up would get a mention at that point. You've just walked into randomised row generator at that point.
We've ALL been there.

You still haven't told us what started the 'row' and weather you have made up yet, must have been a quiet journey home I suspect!

Fab story, but would have been better if you shared the wine with Harry and woke up together next day
Oh and push the cork in the bottle, pass a loop of cotton down neck of bottle, pull cork out

Ooo hang on ... I've done the pushing in bit many-a-time, but what's this about the loop of cotton? Am I missing a trick here? Doesn't it just break?

Not that I recall, but since the invention of screw tops I haven't had much practise .... will have to give it a go again now.
Actually corks tend to be plastic these days so it may not work

On a works night out last week, we booked a table at Tiger Bay - a bar/restaurant in Croydon (I know, don't ask...). Having ordered a bottle of red wine, 20 minutes later we see the waiter going outside with said bottle asking nearby bars for a corkscrew. 30 minutes later (I kid you not) he re-appears. Awful evening compounded by a £65 parking ticket for parking on a single yellow line at 8pm. What an utter dump Croydon is.

When I was a student a few of us went to stay at a mate's parent's house in Kent and had the bottle of wine, no corkscrew problem. We went for the option of cracking the neck off in a door jamb and sieving what was left through a tea towel into a gravy jug to remove the broken glass.
Given that we were already drunk enough to consider this as an engineering improvisation worthy of dazzling Professor Heinz Wolf, we probably didn't need the wine.

No. Swiss wine is SHIT

I've screwed a wood screw into a cork before and then used pliers to pull the cork out using the screw.
Probably easier in Newcastle to find a corkscrew than a screw, screwdriver and pliers though.
Tried that shoe thing before the pliers thing. Smashed the first bottle.

Joking aside, it actually isn’t shit.
I thought this thread might be about a way to have sex with a new contraceptive device.
I was wrong.

....not as good as the locals like to pretend though......
