1. Get down low, Use the lid of the esky like a shield,
2. open esky carefully
3. chuck the neighbours cat in
4.close lid quickly
5. listen

I had a plastic bottle go in the middle of the night........beer everywhere
I reckon the mrs was still in a stupor as she helped me clean it up at 2am, no questions asked...

whilst on this topic: does the amount of dead space at the top of the bottle make a difference to safety? also, if a beer is still lightly fizzy in the bottling bucket, is it dangerous to bottle it?
