Cool can we bop the pubbly yet 
When it's time to pop the bubbly, you guys will hear it all the from Joburg! I might even do a Sabrage opening!!!!

Ummm, what is sabrage?

It's when you show off and open the bubbly with a sword - I don't have a sword, just a long bladed knife - you use the blunt edge of the blade. The trick is to loosen the wire cage by 6 turns only, don't remove the cage; find the seam in the bottle and firmly (but not too fast) run the blade down the seam to the neck-ridge and in theory, the whole top of the bottle should sheer off without glass splinters going into the bubbly. It's really just a big showy-offy thing and the champagne makes cringe at the 'art'. And I've made a total mess of it each time
But I do have a bottle of Krug in the fridge waiting in anticipation!
Ah, I remember now. Be sure to video how it goes.
How did I miss this thread? Prayers you make it over the final hump. Forget the WD-40 at this point, Duct Tape and hot wax will now be required.
Good luck, I'll listen to see if I hear you when you get the contract.

Thanks guys - a bit tense this morning! Liam's already choosing a new car for me, Farside's sorted out all the extras the my new bike and I'm looking at holiday destinations so I can just de-stress from all of this
AND Reckitt Benkiser are visiting Farside's factory today for a health & safety check - if he passes the score card, then he's up for tender on the RB contract - it's gonna be a good, good year!!!

Sounds like you guys are really having some great possibilities coming your way, well done to the both of you
It's been a long hard slog with the factory and unions and CCMA's and importing the machines, cable thefts in the factory, stock theft, raw material theft - just a million things so if anyone deserves a good year, it's my Farside! I couldn't do what he does for sure.
So this is to 2012 - a great year for us

Go Go Go Wallace and Gromit.......................... best wishes and luck for these contracts!!!!!!
Will let you know when we break out the Wensleydale Silli!
Yeah theft is the killer for sure and they come up with such innovative ways to do it these days
Farside aka Wallace owns a plastic packaging manufacting company - MaxiStar Packaging. To get any pharmaceutical packaging or household cleaners contract, the factory has to be spotless and I mean spotless - not even dust is allowed; they do a 'white glove' test on every surface in the factory - huge extractor fans all over, epoxy coated floors throughout - it's a tough business. Pharmaceutical packaging has to be manufactured in a separate part of the factory - a whole production section of the factory is separate and dedicated just to pharmas - the pharma section is literally 'hertmetically' sealed off from the rest of the factory.
Very nice and I can imagine the effort to get those Pharmaceutical products just right for the customers
It's just the jars not the content - they order say 150 000 at a time - if they find a spec of excess raw material on just one jar, the entire consignment is returned - you have no idea how specific the pharma industry is. Would drive me nuts!
The boxes and jars are vacuumed before being packed and sealed.
