then it would be useful if some one told me the right way....
you could always get a fixie bike without these pesky complicated tyres and tubes...

From the photos I have come to the realisation that you are doing it wrong!
You should pump a tiny bit of air into the tube s it's barely inflated, fit it into the tyre, then start by putting the valve through the valve hole on the rim, then seat one side of bead first, then the other. Aim to work both hands round from the valve, to meet opposite the valve... The last few inches may be difficult but use your thumbs.
I would actually suggest going to your LBS or asking a friend for a masterclass though, I can see many a pinched tube on the horizon.Removing and Installing a Bicycle Tire - YouTube
well they're not.
squirt of this should help
bit of soap?
get one of these
Shirley cant be serious. Think a trip down the lbs is needed.
I think i will tomorrow
the wire in the sidewalls of the tyre has actually come out of the rubber, thanks the HTFU approach

We tried.

Take all your clothes off, look in a mirror.
Then put just your socks and top on.
Then go and try to put the tyre on. -

No you didn't, you just made a joke out of it
Because you didn't even need to ask us; there is already a ton of advice all over the internet about getting tyres onto rims

If there were such a thing as cyberbullying, this wouldn't be it. HTFU.

we did try, you are just kack handed.
HTFU - your weak/kack hands could not get a stiff tire on
Tire Levers - aid somewhat in this task
Bead Jack - aids even furtherWash the sand out of your vagina and chalk it up to experience. Don't expect to not come out slightly toasted if you post on a cycling forum that you have failed at a module of Bicycle Maintenance 101.

This made me laugh so much!

When you're getting the last bit of bead over the rim, go to the other side of the tyre and push the beads right down into the middle of the rim. Strap them in place with toe-straps. Spit makes a fine lubricant.
There's no need to use tyre levers, even on Marathons or the Randonneurs that I now use. It's just technique.

Finished!*

it's a bead jack and by the sound of things you'd do well to invest in one
