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.

Bodged DrivingI've got this old pile of junk that I love. Seriously adore, I mean, every trip I take in it is an adventure and I wouldn't change it for the world. But it's constantly needing repairs and it make a horrendous screeching noise when I start her up or pull up to park. It's not that bad, I'm quite handy and virtually everything that goes wrong can be fixed with a bit of lateral thinking or my handy pocket screwdriver. Apart from that noise, I never solved that. Oh, and the time it blew up actually, THAT was a bit of a bitch, but she's up and running again now. Still making that bloody noise though. I got used to it I suppose, so it came as a bit of a shock when some bloody know it all acquantaince pointed out it was just because I left the hanbreak on. Mind you, i still do.

I am ashamed of myself.I even anticipated the pointing out thet it was the handbrake. My excuse is that it's hard to find amusing things on iPlayer when you're tipsy.
