lol... ok ..

    but whats a prissy woman 

Prissy comes from a combination of 'Prim' and 'Cissy'; you could also describe it as 'Squeaky Like'.

Have you done it yet?

Black insulation tape is more pleasing on the eye. 

[elite mike]

Post back after you've done it; tell me what you think.

I'm so excited for you I don't know whether to poo or turn blind!

hope you have plenty andrex

Black insulation tape is more pleasing on the eye. 

But it's not as strong as good old 'black nasty'.

Please use gaffer tape; you can always change it after.  When doing anything new; from boxing to... err, well anything, you should do it the 'orthordox way', then adjust to suit your own requirements.

So stick with the black nasty... please!

cissy....dont think so cock.

This is how i tape my poles to stop them jamming and chipping.

[Tosh]

cissy....dont think so cock.

That's a bit crude, but I'm fine with it.

Have you done it yet?

[geefree]

cock is a friendly term in these parts... like ..mate.. pal... etc..

yes all done... im very impressed with it Tosh... and like you said the pole is so easy to take apart... and seems very strong....

i like it a lot.... just off to get some pole hose now ... oh and i need a tail end adaptor... damm... i forgot about that... no spare one.... why cant we buy these bits in shops?....

never mind.
Thanks again tosh , for taking time ,  to do this post and help us all..

really appreciate it very much.... and looking forward to using the new pole.

Thank You Again.   

and you have won your challenge.... your money is safe

and you have won your challenge.... your money is safe 

No it's not.  I want you to use it for a month; don't step on it (though I reckon it's still be okay, unless you're Ian_Giles ( )) or try and shut your van door on it.  Off-the-shelf suppliers won't refund you for breakages; nor will I.

In a month, if you're still happy with it, I want you to donate a fiver to Matt's DIY site for the upkeep of it; it's there I found out about this.  I've donated a tenner to it; though Matt admitted it went towards a pizza delivery (the chav).  If you're not happy with it, bill me (but I'd like you to post the pole to me; I'll use it; I'll pay for delivery of course).

I'd also like you to post how you get on with it; honestly; if stuff is a pain, say so, if it's good say so.  Please start a new post after your first day; this one is getting a bit unwieldy and cluttered.  Something like, 'Gazza's new DIY pole diary' or something.

I'd like an honest review; but don't say it's too short; it's a 15 foot pole!  I need a longer one; that's my next project.  (You may have to use your old long poles for the higher work; like I have too  )

Agreed?

cock is a friendly term in these parts...

I don't think it's a friendly term in these parts; Squeaky frequently refers to me as a 'cock', and I'm sure he's not being friendly at the time.

But I've got skin thicker than the callouses on Wor Lasses marathon-running-feet; and what a state they are; black toe-nails too; urgh!

She's lucky I haven't got a foot fetish!

[geefree]

Yes, will do... and then i will donate a fiver to the d.i.y. forum..

will keep you up to date with how the pole is going on and wether or not i truly like it....


" hey up cock" is a friendly yorkshire saying ... like hello mate. ... see if squeaky agrees. eh ? 

[Tosh]

Gazza,

Yeh right! I believe you with reference to the word, 'cock'! 

I look forward to your new post describing how you get on with it; please be honest; if you think it's naff, say so.  I think you're fairly new(ish) to window cleaning, so this should be interesting.

Spruce

I'd also like you to contribute to Gazza's new post; when he gets it going.  I think you're a more experienced with WFP, so that should help the post.

Anyway, this DIY pole, personally, I think it's great; work doesn't seem so much like 'work' anymore; particularly on any jobs which involved a lot of pole work.

" hey up cock" is a friendly yorkshire saying ... like hello mate. ... see if squeaky agrees. eh ? 

No, I disagree.

I used to go out with a Catholic School Teacher from 'uddersfield  (she taught at St Joseph's School in Halifax (just in case any of her ex-pupils are here)), for quite a few years, and she used to say, 'Ey up Chuck'!

It definately was not 'Hey up Cock'.

You're taking the mick, I know you are! 

[geefree]

i swear.... wait until the yorkshire lads come on..... chuck is very rarely used nowadays... and is seen as a pre-1960s saying....

"cock" is not widely used... but its still a word we use in friendliness, and ... hey up cock, how are yer. etc...

please can someone back me up lol.

[Tosh]

Guys, this post has become so big and full of chat, I'm going to have to lock it.

Sorry.

Hopefully Gazza, who seems like a good communicator will start a new DIY pole post; I personally would like to know how he fairs with his new pole.

Regards,

Tosh.

In light of recent posts; some of the above could be helpful; PAGE 3 IS THE PERTINENT PAGE.

But check out Matt's DIY link (I'm sure Mike doesn't mind me advertising this; if he does let me know; Matt's not a supplier)... there's some good stuff there.

[matt]

i have a new DIY POLE site, i know alot found the old 1 very slow and wouldnt load my fault, as i couldnt get it to work on my paid for DIY hosted site, so i used a free host

anyways, this 1 is better

http://diywfpole.webs.com/

though the end screw bit that tosh uses seems to work well, so i will update the site to say to use that, afterall its cheaper than the unger option, though the unger is handy to take other things
