I can't open my jar of sliced beetroot :-(

I want to eat them, but I can't unscrew the lid, and I'm too lazy to leave my computer and go to the kitchen to run hot water over it.

Any suggestions? BTW - they are Tesco Value sliced pickled beetroot if that helps

 

Ok - get your penknife and stab a hole through the lid to release the pressure.

Failing that, wear a sou'wester and throw it @ the wall

 

Get a dishcloth or towel for extra grip.

And no smart remarks!

 

My mum won't let me have a penknife

 

By now you could have ran over to the kitchen, placed it under hot water, pearsed it with a kitchen knife, and used a towel to open it, and you would be eating them.

Or you could use your shirt for extra grip!!!

 

You can punch a hole in the lid with almost anything. Screwdrivers are good for that. Them fancy pens are good for it too.
Get one of your old t-shirts and grab the jar and the lid through it - watch it or it can get dirty.

True, but this seat is so comfy! (It's the Emperor's chair from TESBY)

Tried that. I've even tried to heat the lid with my lighter

 

Ok, well in that case stab it repeatedly with a pair of compasses (I'm already laughing @ the mental image)

You could just kirby kiss it. Does your mum allow you to headbutt?

The empire strikes back y... eh ????

 

TESBY

All I have to hand is

mobile phone
mobile phone cover
5p
digital metronome
CD "The BBC Big Band plays Glenn Miller"
An audio tape - contents unknown
A floppy disk
A Television Licence reminder letter
An unopened minidisc
a box of matches
a lighter
3 rechargable batteries
A framed signed photo of Ron Lobeck
And an unopened jar of tesco value sliced pickled beetroot

 

don't you have three boxes, one which has loads of money in it? 50:50.

 

LOL

 

LOL please not that again,

 

Except instead of money it's an opened can of beetroot.

 

50:50

 

You big girl. Not being able to open a jar of beetroot...


...darn...I havent had a beetroot sarny in ages...beetroot and fishfingers on a sarny is EXCELLENT!!!

 

Use your mobile phone to ring someone with a penknife

 

genius.

 

Don't open the Beetroot, it mings!

If you must though, try bribing it open with the 5p (it is Tesco's value after all). Don't go over 10p, these jars of beetroot can be cunning barterers

 

jinky looks like something out of Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome

 

I hate my icon, but my other one was stolen.

I thought I rather looked like someone from TPM

 

Kinky, you do look slightly off colour

 

lol

 

okay, tried some of these.

The beetroot is quite adamant that it will only accept Euros, so the 5p is no good.

I used my phone to ring the local store, but they can't send anyone round to open it til Wednesday

THERE MUST BE A WAY!

 

Sit on it.

For a while.

The lid'll have to expand eventually.

Mnnnn tasty.
