Bruce, cockroaches have been a round for 235 million years, they are almost indestructible.
Whatever is on your floor that would have killed one?!?!
They certainly eat them in Cambodia, I bought a packet of deep fried cockroaches from a road side stall there but couldn’t eat them.
We’re the flying tonight
Well let’s face it, an appalling service…
There wasn’t much to smile about after splashing out on a weekly ticket!

I have had these for a very long time, no idea what they were for. A game perhaps. Anyone seen them before & know what they are for?

I had something a bit less complicated in my car port, a loop of rope that hung from the roof to hook the saddle in. I even improved it with a piece of garden hose threaded in the loop part.
I think I saw the loop part floating around the garden (the rope has long rotted through now I have no bikes)
Went out to check… Yep it is still floating around.
I forget where I got the idea from but for working on any part of the bike it is brilliant, just initially adjust the height to suit the bike, thereafter it is just a matter of lifting the bike, putting the saddle in the loop (takes a couple of seconds) and you can work away on any part to your heart’s content.
I’d just sit on a milk crate to work.

Smart idea. 
At first I wanted to go for a mounting stand that bike shops have but I’d still have to lift the bike to fix it. Then I came across this kind of bike lift with pulley which enables you to lift the bike from the ground, even heavier models like e-bikes and I had a free ridgepole so that I could work indoors… That was critical. Meanwhile I adjusted the rope which was made for ceilings of up to four metres.
