Hi Ed!

Can you fly a Tornado aircraft with a bowl of spaghetti balanced in your lap?

If Jeremy Clarkson's caper is anything to go by, I don't think I could fly one with a a bowl of spaghetti balanced in my stomach

Arn't mums brilliant!

They give you free food and do your laundry and stuff.

An Umbrella, remove all the metal and wood etc so its just the soft material, sow this to the back of your jacket at the top and pull it over your head when its raining. Ill call it a hood.

Umbrellas are just portable trees. What you need is a leaf.

Fixed that for ya!

I wish!
Was in a shared house with a few other mates

We had a rota system for the dress

[Churchill]

used them a few times, the most useful was fixing an ironing board who's leg locking mechanism had broken. Think she got another 3 years use out of it

Yep, although I've never seen the programme you refer to. How many men here can honestly say they haven't transformed a coat-hanger into something useful? Or a paper-clip for that matter.

A coat hanger was the only way I could unlock my old Astra when the lock barrel got jammed

McGyver style?

Coat hangers are brilliantly useful things, like paper-clips except for bigger jobs.

Wire Coat hangers are brilliantly useful things, like paper-clips except for bigger jobs.

You don't want to be like my Uncle Paddy he spent 2 months with a wooden coat hanger sticking out of his car puzzled as to why he still cuoldn't get radio 2

Take a simple object, one that cant be improved upon (or so you think)
like a coat hanger. How could anyone come up with a brilliant improvement for something so simple ?

Well I recently saw an example. It's a purse.
except its flat, with no clip , latch or zip. It opens and closes by twisting the top against the bottom. It opens to the size and shape of a drinks can, and it's secure
