Mon Dieu! catastrophe!..while we have all been discussing the topics of the day, Budget Deficits, Trident Missiles, Al Qaeida, The Taliban, the future of policing in the Sangin Province...it fills me with horror to note that none of us have discussed one of the major issues of the day, especially to us bachelors hopeless in the kitchen...the disappearance of the fab ring pull invention from top of the humblest of all humble cuisine, the baked bean...or rather its transporting vessel.
Yes the bloody ring pull is gone offa the top ! Look...
This spells disaster for the awkward male, women seem better able to cope, but us geezers have long since chucked our can openers down the rubbish shute following a series of cut fingers and slashed wrists, and drank to the arrival of the ring pull can.
But now..shock horror it has disappeared. The ring pull can came originally it must be said without fanfare, quietly slipping onto the supermarket shelves, and was much appreciated. But now equally without fanfare it has slipped away.
So what does a chap do now..?? How does he open the tin? There are probably two options. One is...get a woman to open it for you, as they are far more practical in these matters, or give up the humble baked bean...thats about it guys!
