And as you say having a stuck cork really is bad and don't you hate it when you get little bits falling off
The excitement of the pop is ruined.

The excitement of the pop is ruined.Yes, it's always a terrible disappointment when little bits drop off. Can really spoil the moment.
Of course, you also have to make sure that you have a pleasant receptacal for the contents once you have managed to release them. Care must be taken with this vessel, and you should choose wisely before settling on the best one. Look after it for life, and it will give you years of useful service

It was meant to be a 'mickey take' on some of the silly threads.
It's turned into a sort of club now
Not sure what sort of club though sometimes

And it's a tricky decision too cos they come in all sorts of shapes, sizes and colours
Loose, do let us have your opinion in due course - when you get out the shower that is.
