I was just wondering what we all look like,
as everyone is just an anonymous text on a page.
It would be nice to put a face to the comments,
so is anyone brave enough to post pics of themselves?
Come on! I'll start it off (only as I've been drinking). I'm in Majorca here. :-[
And a real picture please Graham!
Cheers, Roger.
-
My back yard... It's been hot!!! No cheeky comments about the girls. I was babysitting for some friends.
-
Geez! That's huge!! Sorry about that :-[
-
I think the pics are great!
I always show me. I want you guys to know who you are communicating with.
I am not a conceited person; my husband takes almost all of the pics. Actually I am kind of shy. I just pose for him. He always drags me into it!
One of these days when I am 70 I will look back and say "yes; I did look good at one time.
As you all know, window cleaning is great exercise. And if you sit in front of the computer and do estimates and appointments (payroll :P) as your main job as I do now, scheduling work out's is a must.
From what I have seen, you guys are all really cute. And remember window cleaning business owners are smart; thank goodness most people don't know just how good it is.
I say we are the smartest in the world! A hidden goldmine! Why do you think we do so many doctors and successful folks? We know our craft unlike any others.
Yes! We are important!
Hope you all are making good money this week.
Hugs always,
Debbie :-*

This is Baldeagle!

Nice one guys, keep them coming!
I didn't think anyone would do this, and I was going to have to embarrasingly delete it... :-[

Baldeagle; crickey, you look just like your avatar.
Also, I can vouch that Roger is that ugly in 'real life' as I've met him a couple of times.
-
Thanks, Winder-Chips!
That's the best complement you could have paid me.
When Grace the Grand-daughter was younger, she was convinced that I had a suit of blue feathers hidden in my wardrobe!
Used to sit watching the "Muppet Show" with my daughters years ago, and they got the biggest laugh watching me howling with delight.
Try not to grow up, that's the answer to everything!

Cheers Tosh. ;)
You're right though, wasn't the best picture I could have shown. :o

Cheers Tosh. ;)

There's nowt wrong with the picture, mate. It's the subject matter the photo displays that's the problem.
Have you ever considered undergoing some sort of cosmetic facial surgery?
And as for your hair; I've hair just like that; but not on my head. ;)
Sorry, Roger; just joking mate; you look lovely.
I was, for a laugh, going to delete your picture and type a 'Photo removed by moderator because it's too ugly and may scare off newbies'; but Ian_Giles would only say I'm abusing my 'moderating buttons' and he's bigger than me.
-
Not bigger just a lot heavier :'(
Ian
I was going to put a photo up, but didn't want to scare any minors that might be on here!!

There's no miners around here Ian, only window cleaners.
I think you want Drill-it-out.co.uk ;D
-
Ah, what the heck, here is one of me in my pre-WFP days!
-
Hey "the bouncing bunny!"
Are the two of you a window cleaning team?
-
When people looked into my pram they always made a stifled scream, but my parents said it was because they were so happy to see me. Now, where are those photos.... ;)
-
Ah, what the heck, here is one of me in my pre-WFP days!
Blimey, pre-Greggs pasties days too eh Ian? ;)
By my reckoning it's only 5 years ago though!
-
How do you up load images?

Roger,
That's the funniest post you've put up! I'm honestly laughing my guts out here! I wouldn't want to be you when Ian grabs hold of you though!
-
How do you up load images?
Bear,
I use this site:
http://photobucket.com/
It's free to use. You just upload your image into the site and then cut and paste the 'image' (starts and finishes with 'IMG') into your post on this site. You can upload pictures from your computer or from t'internet. If uploading from the internet, click your right mouse button over a picture, click on 'properties' and cut and paste the properties into photobucket.
It takes some playing around, but it's not difficult once you get the hang of it.
-
Nah Tosh!
Bear, just go to post as usual, then underneath it says Additional Options.
Where it says attach, click browse and find the photo on your computer.
Then press attach!
Easy. ;)
-
Got an account Tosh, but not having any luck.

Try it Roger's way (Squeaky Cleans) method. With photo bucket are you cutting and pasting the whole of the image line - it should start and finish with 'IMG' I think!
Keep trying and I'll delete the ones that don't work.
-
THIS IS ME TELBOY ;)
SORRY I'M SO BIG ;D
-
Try Again!

me and good lady in Kefalonia...me and the monkey on my shoulder are inseperable...!

me again playing soldiers in Belize pre- window cleaning.
I spent eight months in Belize with the army. The first two weeks were brilliant. Raul's Rose garden; fishing in Punta Gorda; seeing the Mayan pyramids in San Igancio. Somehow I fitted in a Jungle warfare course and Jim Batty the SAS JWI made me do a jungle survival course which consisted of eating nothing (well nothing you'd consider edible).
But you can only cope with Belikan Beer to a certain extent and the mosquitos were the size of humming birds. Everything there had teeth. Awfull place. Reminded me of Scotland.
-
can you see me?
-
8 months is a bit much for Belize. We flew in, stayed at airport camp for 1 night (on the beer in Rose Garden), choppered into trees the next day for 2 weeks patrolling/live firing training then choppered back to camp...1 further night on the beer in Rose garden and then back home. I absolutely loved the jungle...paradise ;D
-
1 further night on the beer in Rose garden and then back home.
I see in the other forum they've been giving you a hard time. I also see there that you're an ex-para. Bloody hell. You can type and spell and stuff. Are you sure you're an ex-para?
I've also had a 'few beers' in the Rose Garden. Is that what they called the girls when you were there?
-
This is me!!
Getting a bit behind, so i've got the bike out!!!
Sorry---this must be the biggest picture yet-- then again i've always been a poser
8) :D
-
Ray...are you trying to get included in Texas girls calender...are you pouting there?? ;D
you`ll have some texan longhorns drooling over that vest mate..!! ;)
-
Is that a T110 Ray? It looks like a single-carb pre-unit 650 of some sort to me?
-
No Steve.
I'm hoping for some TEXAN LADY to BEG me for a ride on the back!!
OOOps got to go the missus has just walked in!!!!!!!!!
Ray.

Hi Malc.
The bikes a Triumph Tiger 100 unit construction 1966.

-
windows-chepstow,
not sure about a hard time...but some people appear to have rules for 1 person and not another...I`m really not sure how anything I might have posted could have upset anyone...unless a few home truths were being rattled or maybe its because I`m a scouser and we`re all car thieves and benefit cheats here...??
Regarding the Rose Garden...I had a dabble once and it still haunts me to this day, the other 16 lads seemed to enjoy the occasion though!
These days, I really do prefer a good book and a cold beer...honest! ;)
-
Hi Graham.
I can see you know as much about bikes as i know about window cleaning!
:) ;) ;D ???
Ray.
-
Thats if you've got a good un!
:) Ray.
-
RAY ONLY RIDES BIKES CUS HE WANTS SOMETHING BIG THROBBING BETWEEN HIS LEGS,

GAZA
-
Gaza mate.
I told you that in confidence ;) but your right!!
cheers Ray. 8)
-
Ray, that looks like a nice bit of machinery there.
More character than any new bike, just like old cars.
New cars are so yaaawwwnnnn....!
This thread's been a suprising success so far, good to see a few faces... :D

It looks like the FBI's top ten most wanted to me. Has anyone noticed that Texas Girl has stopped posting since Roger (Squeaky Clean) stuck his picture up here? Coincidence? I think not.
I better get a picture of myself up here, posted to attract new followers to this site! Remember guests - not all window cleaners are ugly.

Ok, rumbled. :o
We are actually the same person.
Not all window cleaners are ugly no, just Chepstow ones. ;)
Tosh, don't put a picture up before the 9.00 watershed though, my daughter's still up and might see it ;D
-
Windows.
I thought the same about "MOST WANTED" so i thought i'd add a bit of class. :o
So that's why i sent you all a picture ------------------------------------
OF THE BIKE.
If i keep posting the way i'm doing i'll soon be a POWER SELLER
OR GOD whatever same as wot you are. ;)
Kindest Regards Biker Ray.
-
Well done, good thread! Keep it running while I find a photo of me from 20 years ago and work ouy how to stick it to my compooter screen, I haven't got a digital camera or a motor bike, I've tried sticking a picture in the floppy disc slot but now it's stuck.
most of you guys look to healthy to me, that's why more haven't responded. Do you really have to show us your best side?
Pj
-
We're all brothers, mate. I don't care how you look.
:o
-
oh allright then...my 2 assistants have agreed to have their photo submitted.
Great these 2...I pay them $10 dollars a day each in Monopoly money and the times a bucket of water has ended up on one of their heads...!!
Anyone else got any entertaining colleagues??

-
A great thread, but try to keep it in context of photo's of ourselves and comments therein!
Don't let it drift outside those parameters else it will become to unrelated and general.
Regards
Ian (in gentle moderator mode)
-
I`ll tell you what... >:(...thats 2 forums where a bit of humour has turned a little sour on me...lighten up a little...is there only the chosen few who are allowed a little bit of humour between themselves...I`ve worked all my life surrounded by men whose humour got us through the days...what`s going on here...your not telling me it is a serious and professional post asking us to post photos of ourselves...it`s begging for a bit of humour...honestly, i`m lost for words.
-
Steve,
Humour is good, and we've nothing against you; even if you are an ex-para. (Unless you were one of the paras that gave me a kicking in the Trafalger in 1987).
The thing is, as moderators we've agreed to help Mike Boxhall (the site CO) out and he wants this place kept as professional as possible. He wants this place to be a quality cleaning resource where people come to ask cleaning related questions or answer them. Not a chat site.
That's a difficult job, especially when I'm one of the moderators who often falls foul of Mike's code of conduct.
I've had a few complaints made against myself (mostly from Scottish people). Phillip Hanson, the moderator I took over from used to delete my posts and beat me on a regular basis. I really like the guy; even though I've never met him. You always knew where you were with him (usually in the wrong).
It's all part of the game. Welcome to the forum, Steve, keep the 'para' sense of humour (well to a certain extent) and no 'red-eyeing' or 'mono-railing' people you disagree with.
-
Chepstow, as I said, it is surely not that serious...I have read numerous posts on here that have really made me laugh...it is not a train spotters convention...we can have a laugh...what do you fellas do when you meet up at these fed.conventions? from the posts I`ve read, it`s all good pals and cracking jokes time, as it should be!!
Graham G...are you winding me up??
Moaning...? Grateful...?
What are you babbling on about you clown...are your posts OK then are they? Make you laugh do they..?
You really are the Lord Mayor of Cloud Cuckoo Land...
-
you guys
ive been so interested to see all ya pics ive just burnt the korma ' the wifes home from work in 5 mins
cant trust a bloke to even cook dinner
Chris ::)
ps when i figure how to post pic i do one
-
We're bitchin' guys!
Roger has started a great thread, stay in context! Don't spiral!!
The pics are great, as are the humorous comments.
With the loss of PM's some stuff you would have done privately has to be done more openly, so good threads can degenerate from their original direction.
What starts as a thread with us showing ourselves then turns into pics of a more general nature, and so it goes on, the thread continues to mutate until it has nothing in common with it's original thrust.
This reply alone is evidence of that fact!!
Keep the photo's of yourselves coming! That's what this thread is about!! Post your pics and let us all be derisory of you............Unless you are Texas Girl I think we would all like to see a full size photo of Debbie....all in a window cleaning context of course 8)
Regards,
Ian

and this is me with my dawg!!
That's a good looking dog! Have you entered him into any dog shows? I'd suggest you enter the 'Most looks like owner' category. You'd be in with a good chance!
Sorry, Mick, I couldn't help it! Welcome to the forum, mate if I haven't said it already!

Nice scenery though.
-
Texas girl. ;)
WOW!!
Makes our pictures look a bit SAD-- wish i had'nt bothered with mine.
Ray.
-
Hey Ray!
I love all the pics of everyone! This thread was a really good idea. We should show ourselves every now and then. We are all united with a bond because of our business. 8)
Window cleaning business owners are of a particular breed because you all know that either you love or hate this business.
We all love it. We are so smart! Expect to see some of these shots on the window cleaning calendar. You guys are all cute(attractive).
Hope all have a good weekend! Hugs, :-* :-*

Ironically, on an inside office cleaning job, I put a sign out warning of possible slippery floor and some guy tripped over the sign. Can't win sometimes, eh?

This is Wor Lass demonstating the easiest way I find to do Georgian type windows:
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v737/tosh0987/helenspray.jpg)
I.E; she cleans them while I do the upstairs sash windows!
Easier than a water fed pole!
She always looks this happy when she's working on her birthday!
-
I think I'll have to get myself one of those working women things.
I've got quite a few windows I don't like doing! ;D
-
I think I'll have to get myself one of those working women things.
They do come with their own set of Health and Safety issues though!
-
haven't got one of me window cleaning but here is one of me doing my sunday afternoon job at Pakefield lighthouse keeping an eye on the surfers/bathers and little boats.
No light there anymore, very relaxing 4 hours though.

Got there in the end...
