    Re-fitting 'F' end on to WF100 cable?

    I'd use a screw on connector, but try the glue first, if it doesn't hold just cut a bit of the cable off and buy a screw on connector, they don't cost much.

    Re-fitting 'F' end on to WF100 cable?

    That's a compression fitting, you need a tool to put it on. Screw on fittings can be found in most DIY shops. Superglue or tape might work for a while if it's indoors.

    Simthing for the weekend, sir?

    The easiest way will be to find a phone shop in Paris such as SFR, Orange or Bouyges, and buy a sim there, but they are very limited, usually no more than 4GB of data (or "GO" as they call it here) and recharges are not cheap.
