Pictorial life of an armidillo

Damn, i cant believe i made it to work, ordered a new tire on tuesday but due to postal strikes i havent received it yet, on the way hom last night a hole appeared in my tire and i subsequently punctured, being about a mile away from home i thought i'd see if i could make a temporary fix for the problem, so patched it with a receipt from my wallet, success!

managed to get about 30psi in before the tire was bulgin too much, so slowly rode home like that, no dramas, then figured i must have an old ture somewhere at home that i could use, but no luck there, decided to risk it on the way to work this morning so rode the shortest route to work whihc is about 7 miles and somehow survived, now just got to hope that this new tire arrives today!

heres a a picture of the tire, the pink bit is the receipt!

has it turned up? that does look like it'll die any second.

you need more skid patches, the rest of the tyre looks fine.
