Can be anything but preferably with a description and picture: Here's one I'm particularly proud of.
The flush on the loo was getting a bit sticky so the toilet dribbled. Anyway in the course of examining it, the wotsit came off the doodah and I couldn't get it back on. I recall the bathroom bloke cursing a bit when he fitted it and he did tiles, fitted the shower, hung doors, plastered etc.... so I figured if he cursed a bit, I would curse a lot and still fail.
So with the aid of just what was lying about, I fitted some string to the doodah so you could just pull it. This was cool but it got stuck under the shelf which is when I hit on the toilet roll as a conduit. That worked for a few days before slowly collapsing and then I hit on the idea of using my old toothbrush to re-inforce the conduit. The final flourish was adding a loop to the string for one fingered pulling and hey presto, bodge done.
Proper fixing will have to wait until I need a plumber for something bigger, though I am coming under pressure for an impending MIL visit.
