Hi David, Can you get your hands on a pair of artery forceps? These are what the love generation sometimes referred to as roach clips! They are a sort of cross between very narrow thin pliers and tweezers which are usually curved on the end but may well fit into the hole and pinch the cork firmly. You can probably pinch hard enough to split the corks and remove them that way as pulling them back through is likely to be very difficult. Artery forceps might be available at a drug store I am not sure, I used to be able to get old ones from our CSR Department, any damage or defects after they have been sterilized and they discard them. They are made of wonderful steel though and work well for a wide variety of small tasks which apparently include toking.

I don't care if I destroy them, I just want them out of there! David [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
