This is a question Bodge Jobs

If 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.

i fixed the toilet
using rare earth, neodymium, stupidly powerful magnets from www.supermagnet.de

and i used these awesome, world shattering magnets to....hold the lid up.

I've got a few of these knocking about
You could probably hold the entire toilet up with a decent pair of them.

I have been looking for a reason to buy one of these for a while...
.. www.first4magnets.com/f999s---n52-magnet---n52-is-the-strongest-magnet-in-the-world-south-pack-of-1-c15o-167-p.asp

An inch wide and will lift 26 kg of steel.

Maybe our toilet needs fixing...

Oh my christ
The raw power, all for £12

I feel compelled to find some kind of house-hold application

Impressive eh?
You can just imagine - you could use it to keep the mower attached to the garage ceiling!

I worry what would happen if you allowed a pair of them to come together! You'd need a winch to get the buggers apart.

I can confirm two things
One - whe they are together they are a bugger to get apart again, but can usually be slid sideways. Two - if they happen to catch some part of your anatomy between them, it will turn an unpleasant black colour with white bits. My dad discovered this the hard way.

You're a man
Surely you could have just used duct tape or superglue? Why on earth does it need to come down?
