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.

Student story 22c)As a poor student in Brighton, at the height of student poverty, any damage to our flat was very worrying as we needed every penny to spend on strongbow, rage against the machine CD's, directions hair dye, and *extremely* wide jeans. Any deduction of rental deposit could be a minor catastrophe.
I managed to fix a futon (broken by approximately 6 fun-loving and drunken guys having a whale of a time* on a saturday night...) by inserting a broom handle into the back of it (the futon) and use of 2 keyrings (again, the futon).
We moved out a few months later and got our full deposit back, which is pretty rare in itself.
Good bodge job that was.
*reinacting Wrestlemania, actually.
