If all the bodgers read that at the same moment, I wouldn't bet against the sudden air displacement from the collective gasp from causing a black hole.

If it does and you walk in the house with it you’ll get a funny look from the misses - or possibly something more

My dads the real master of bodging. His sheep handing system consisted of tables, bed frames and doors. The whole farm was kept together with sting. If he was to make something "posh" like the garden gate he would use a pallet. He bought a relatively new loadall, and almost the first day ran over the whole winter worth of black plastic and net, which got caught around the prop shaft and manged to the some how rip all the wiring loom out. He obviously wasn't going to get some one to fix it, so just got one peace of wire from the battery to ignition and what ever else it need to start it and that was it fixed. It had no lights, radio or heater. But his best bodge was painting the trailer with a broom, he told me he had to tip the paint on the floor because the broom would fit into the paint pot!!
