OK, I had the bottom of the bottle at the back drilled about 2cm up,the hole was about 10mm diameter, (A Friend did this for me) I then went to homebase and bought some plastic tubing (car windscreen washer pipe) which I was going to poke into the hole bring it up through the neck wrap some tape round the pipe the draw it back so the tape acted as the seal, as it happens the pipe was a tight fit into the hole and it sealed itself because it was so tight in the hole, I then attached the rubber hose from a bicycle pump to the plastic hose, again very lucky here, the rubber hose just threaded itself onto the plastic pipe. I then did some experimenting in the kitchen sink with water, I found if I filled the bottle to the top it only needed one pump to force water out of the neck and got lots of different types of flow depending if it was a quick pump or a slow gradual pump. I then found that if I hollowed out the cork I could get some more lift rather than the cork just falling over as soon as the water came out. As you know I then used lemonade instead of water to try and get some froth to make it look like champagne. Again as you know my intention was to use burst mode outside on the patio, but because of the weather I had to move inside in to the bathroom, The bottle was sitting in the sink on top of a box to get some hight and all I could find for backdrop was my daughters (Liela) sheets, (Tina was out shopping at the time) so I had time to sneak into the airing cupboard to borrow the sheets. I then had to place the pump into my belly and pumped with one hand as I took the photo with wire remote, I spent more time on trying to get the lighting right (still not happy with that) than taking the shots, as the sheet got soaked every time I took the shot the finish shot was the first one with the second sheet. I will post here some photos of the first attempt with water. So Don I was not magic after all, Well done to Stephen (with help from Sassan) for guessing about the hole.
