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.

if Stella did cable repairs..I was supposed to be taking part in a 25man raid in world of warcraft and for some reason I decided to move things around on my desk and have a bit of a tidy just before we were due to start. When I plugged the monitor back in there was no picture, I took the lead out again and had a look ...one of the prongs on the DVI plug had pulled out and it wouldn't stay back in place. So I drained my beer grabbed some scissors cut out a new prong and stuffed it in the vacant hole. When I plugged the cable in it...sort of worked. THe screen was all green ARSE! I unplugged made a new prong of a doubled thickness of Stella can roughed up with an emery board. Plugged it back in and TADA! it worked and it's still there.
I must get round to getting that new cable
