Bodge JobsIf you can't fix it with a hammer and a roll of duck tape, it's not worth fixing at all, my old mate said minutes before that nasty business with the hammer and a roll of duck tape. Tell us of McGyver-like repairs and whether they were a brilliant success or a health and safety nightmare.

The Bodge repairman's codeThere are only two things you need to fix anything, Gaffer Tape and WD-40.
If it moves and it shouldn't, use the Gaff.
If it doesn't move and it's supposed to, use the WD.
That is all

...hmm, only three including this one. Could have sworn it was more. Nine or ten rants about whether it's duck tape or duct tape or suck tape or fucked ape must have boosted it in my mind.
I'm betting on at least two more before the end of the week, so let's go with your figure.

I don't like the sound of that 'wrzzzzt'.Let's have a look...yeah, your autocalc's got a cracked numbers hopper. You can probably just tape it together, it'll be fine. And that integration flange is sticking a bit...

I was always told that it wasa hammer
a screwdriver
& a shifter (adjustable wrench)
I think perhaps zip ties are the new duct tape.
