It's a pleasure and a privilege to be part of it with so many people working so hard on such a profoundly silly idea. One more to go... in this run, at least! Hear hear, and backatcha and thanks Ben!

I didn't know that the GoT soundtrack was available yet, but I'll have to get it now (damn you!) :-) I know a couple who used “Journey of the Sorcerer” in place of the Bridal march, and I have to agree with all three of you (and Adams) – it’s a fantastic piece of music.

Obviously a vinegar/bicarb mixture can be used to push the egg out. The problem is that the egg tends to burst coming out. However the egg does not burst going in(Why? The tapered walls of the bottle allowed the egg to expand gradually without tearing.) The solution to the problem is to use a second milk bottle cut in half and taped to the neck of the first bottle. The vinegar mixture is poured in through the top and the whole assembly inverted over a basin of water.NOTE I worked this out over 20 years ago.
