Of this short film – a compilation of bottle-opening clips from an entirely separate video shoot – director Chris Sumers sez:

This has been the most fun project I have been a part of to date. Sitting around with your friends killing a couple of six packs of beer trying to think of different means to open your next drink is pretty fun. I encourage you to try it.

The audio is particularly satisfying.

Kuru Kuru Nabe, reportedly invented by a Japanese dentist, is a specially shaped cooking pot that uses the dynamics of boiling water to ‘stir’ the contents while reducing the risk of boiling over.

THE 10 MOST expensive prescription drugs in the Republic’s biggest pharmacy chain are to fall in price by an average of 25 per cent. This will save people on medications for conditions including asthma and heart disease up to €300 a year.

The savings are the result of a dramatic overhaul of the Boots Ireland pricing model. It has abandoned the traditional 50 per cent mark-up that pharmacists add to the cost price of a drug on top of a €5 dispensing fee, in favour of a single €7 “professional services fee” that will be added to the cost price of drugs.

Industry sources said last night the move is likely to spark a prescription drug price war with other chains forced to follow suit.

Good news.

That can’t be right, can it?
