Childproof..
.
Me and Mrs Legless are a bit under the weather at the minute. Some kind of cold/flu bug. So Mrs Legless buys a bottle of Panadol on the way back from work. The kind with the childproof cap.

For those of you that don't know, Mrs Legless is a doctor - an orthopaedic surgeon to be exact. I'm an IT geek with wide-ranging interests including electronics, mechanics, engineering and explosives. Let's just say that, without boasting, we're two pretty clued-up people.

Could we open this fucking bottle of Panadol? Could we buggery......

Ended up having to saw the bottom off with a knife...

Cheers

Childproof Caps
Are designed by bitter teetotallers to cause the hungover to collapse in a crying heap on the bathroom floor after 20 ineffectual minutes.

Next time try a shaped charge. Or simply find a toddler - they'll have the fucker open in seconds, especially if the bottle is marked "Super Deadly Poison, Do Not Open For Gods Sake or All Mankind Will Perish".

I was also going to recommend explosives.
It might end up vaporizing the medicine, but at least it will make you grin.

The secret is...
To give it a firm shove, then a hard pull combined with a slight twist, then it will come away in your hand...





What? You know who I live with for Christ's sake, what did you expect?
