Loose BB shell

jonathan:
Loctite 609 is your best bet.

got bike?:
Or you can make some aluminium cups like the american bb and use a spanish bb bearings.

ediotism:
get a can of coke, then put it down the toilet to clean the bowl (much better than drinking that syrupy poison). clean the can and cut it open, use a stripe of aluminium cut from the can as a shim, whilst you start looking at your next frame.

a well shimmed BB could still last you a while.

alaskun:
take everything out, spray the bb with water/leave the bike outside for a few nights. add salt if you need to. let it rust a little, and then see how easy it is to put the bearings in...

what could go wrong?

not water. use vinegar. bonus points if its greasy vinegar from your chips.
