I really wanted tuna sandwiches at work tomorrow, but I couldn't find the can opener anywhere. So instead all I have is boring cheese and Bovril.

I've often been in that situation but have never failed to open the can.

I've got a cuffing great big thick serrated kitchen knife which is more like a machete. It did cross my mind to hack my way into the tin using that, but I'm tired and have had a couple of glasses of red. Chances are I'd end up inadvertantly slashing my wrists or losing a finger, so on balance I decided a tuna sarnie tomorrow wasn't quite worth the risk, or the wait in Casualty.
I'll treat meself to a bag of Brannigans at lunch tomorrow. It involves a walk to the paper shop, but that'll even things up a bit and make lunch a little more acceptable.

Ringpull. Tuna without a ringpull ruins my day.

It's a fine line.
Defeated by a can of tuna.
End up in Casualty because of can of tuna.
Both having a potential adverse effect on your masculinity.
I think you've taken the right decision to go for Cheese and Bovril so you can mull it over, in manly way. Cheese and Bovril has all the sense and flavour of I've lost the battle but not the war.

Says me. I don't like using communal cutlery or preparing meals in front of prying eyes. Its a very private process which takes place after dark, with just me and my radio present.
As for the alternate methods of can opening being suggested - I'm not in an episode of Lost. There ARE alternatives in my fridge, which I can make do with until my can opener returns from whatever excursion it has taken itself upon. If its not back by Saturday though, I'll admit its going to become a worry.

Brine or sunflower oil? Not that it makes any difference on how to open.
