I just use a hook bottle opener, so a waiters friend or the bit on a standard tin opener. Same action as opening a bottle, except it just releases the pressure rather than taking the lid off. After that it opens with no effort.
The old bloke next door is a great neighbour I pop in and see him a few times a week He struggles on his legs but is all there mentally He’s been let down by a few cleaners and now gone with Age Concern The cleaner gets paid 12:50 an hour Age concern charge him 50 quid for two hours Robbing ****s Concern my arse
I've always just twatted the lid in the middle to disturb the air inside and if that doesn't work put a couple of holes in the lid or a good rough tea towel for a good grip of the lid.
Small jar - stick the lid end in a door jamb, pull the door towards you, twist jar. Large jar - twat the side of the lid on one of the crimp points on a worktop. Sorted. Wealth of information this thread. There should never be a City supporter looking wistfully at an unopened jar of Ragu ever again.
I wasn’t going to comment on this but seeing as though it’s the hot topic on the board my FOMO took over. Is this the same jar that you’ve had three failed attempts at or three separate jars, presumably having got a more proficient jar opener to assist in opening the previous jars? If it’s three jars in two weeks that I have to say your consumption of beetroot is highly impressive but also concerning in equal measure. ‘How much beetroot do you get through in two weeks?’ isn’t a question I pose to my mates too often. If it was I dare say anyone replying’ 3 jars’ would be the winner by some distance. How big these jars are is factor, of course it is. Beetroot is a marvellous source of various nutrients but all the vinegar can’t be good for you. Have you thought you might have a beetroot problem? Apart from not being able to open the jars. Obvz.
Any road up, jarred beetroot is so twentieth century. Go vacuum packed and you will never be defeated by a stubborn lid ever again.
It does seem to be harder to get into stuff these days. I always say to the Mrs "what do old people do?". She gives me that look that says "you are an old person now"
I was going to ask Baldricks Cunning Plan if that is true but he is still trying to get the ****ing lid off.
You’ve made that up. Vacuum packed Ernie thinks Tim Peake chomps on beetroot when he’s titting about on that Space Station.
booking.com Two weeks ago I booked a hotel in Soho for Wednesday night, got the train down first thing, worked all day and arrived at the hotel at 5.30 to find they had no room available. 'Sorry, we were overbooked and cancelled your booking last week, did nobody tell you?' I wouldn't be here if they had, would I dipshit. Call booking.com, talk to AI, get told I'll be put through to an actual person, sit on hold for ten minutes, then a woman who can barely speak English asks me four times for the booking reference number, then my name, then puts me on hold and after 18.42mins, hangs up. I search for suitable hotels within a mile, only one option, I book it and run there, as I'm now only thirty minutes from meeting someone for dinner. Send booking.com a message explaining everything that's happened and asking them to immediately refund me for the more expensive booking I've just had to make due to them cocking up my original booking. They ignore all details in my message and send me a message saying sorry, but it's too late to cancel the first booking and referred me to their terms and conditions. I went to TrustPilot to post what a bunch of hopeless ****ers they are, only to find that 99,934 people had beaten my to it and they have 2 stars, with pretty much everyone saying their customer care is non-existent. So I've just sent them a statutory two week notice of recovery action instead. ****ing clown shoes.
I've had trouble with booking.com before as well. I use the app to search for suitable hotels and then book direct with the hotel so that they can avoid paying the commission.
just to clarify, it needs to be consumed raw (juicing is a good option), not processed / cooked otherwise it loses most of it's health benefits.
I've used booking.com loads over 20-odd years, worldwide and never had a problem! Airbnb, that's another story...
