I expect that the injury rate from opening such fizzy pop is pretty high. Those corks can shoot out at high speed. Their laughter at your suffering is deserving off revenge.
Mind you, a lot of 'blokes of a certain age' put themselves at risk with things like mountain biking and paddle boarding. I did come off a bike a couple of years back with no serious injury and I don't think anyone saw it. The shame can be worse than a scrape.
Stay well Boomy.

I came off my bike a couple of years ago. I was quite lucky in that apart from some grazing I just had my pride dented. Damn pride!
I am much recovered now. I think I will be abit more careful in future, Ihave a feeling my body is telling me things I dont want to acknowledge!
