Oooof, that would tip the line from kink and into some sort of assault. Certainly my one would with a big handle, plenty of length and sturdy build.

You know when there's a really annoying person in the office. They do too much of this.

I once stood on the hard shoulder of the M40 with a cardboard sign that said "2across?", since that was what I needed to borrow to reattach my fuel line

It was the police who eventually stopped 😳

Luckily the back of the car was full of inflated balloons, so I didn't look at all dodgy

I’ve just spent an hour trying to use Hammer, Molegrips and Cableties.

I guess that tells you something in itself.
