What a great end to the year, yesterday phone rang, a lady, very posh, "is your pole still for sale" yes I say.
I had advertised it on gumtree. " I need two, she says, well I only have one, Ill leave it then."
Im thinking, strange.
Anyway 4hrs later phone goes again , still wants the pole,  can she come down now, er ok .
So she rolls up, I show her the pole ,asks how much "£200 please, "ok".
As she drives off pleased as punch I asked her,      why?  "Oh she says I am getting married saturday and need two poles to hold a banner up 30ft high, thank you very much  bye"
 
HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU ALL, even the bully boys.

That is a lie.

[paul13]

If it's a lie good imagination , if it's true we'll done
For sticking with price.

Hi Paul     thank you, if I was going to make it up , I think I could have done better than that. Maybe Alex gardiner will be able to contribute in the new year as I will be buying a new 35ft pole in the next week or two from him  making a change from Ionics to see what they are like.

Ah that's a shame.
I know a Dutch canal vaulter who was looking for a new pole and your one looked just the ticket. 

[pristine window cl]

Darren watch your mouth, im becoming agitated with your comments.
Why the hell would I make up a story like this.
 

[pristine window cl]

Hi Andym would that be a £200 ticket

[andyM]

Hi Andym would that be a £200 ticket

Maybe next time.

Watch my mouth-proper lols.
Cause you're embarrassed.
It was pointed out in the original ad it was massively overpriced. And you got upset by that.
You realise you could've reacted better and have now posted this to try and save face a bit.

[Jonny 87]

Sorry but no one is going to buy a £200 pole to hold a banner up.

She could spend a fraction of that and get an aluminium pole. Unless of course she was having you on.

[dave0123]

You can get kite poles to do this for about 30 quid

[pristine window cl]

Darren shut up you xxick with ears



Dave Jonny, look I know that, and you know that, but ours, IS NOT TO REASON WHY.
Only she knows why , but I dont really care .
She is going to try and re sell the 2 poles on ebay in amonth or 2, I was as stunned as you maybe are.
Remember the crap that came my way because the price I was asking but it shows if you dont try you will never get any where. I never thought for one minute that anyone , OTHER THAN, a window cleaner, would buy the pole, but hey ho.

Not exactly Charles Dickens are we?

[PoleKing]

Mega lols!
You're lying fella.
No one really cares if you sold your pole or not.
And everyone now knows you're a liar.
A great days work.

A few rhetorical questions:

A forum of xthousand people-not one of them wanted your pole-why?
A 'lady bought it, for a banner' not a flag. Where did she get the pole for the other side?
Why would she use gumtree rather than google to find a pole?
Why would she pay £200 rather than £25 (a 2 minute google found 6m pole, next day delivery)
Why post you'd sold it?

Like I said, rhetorical, we know the answers.

Jackonory , tell me another story !

[pristine window cl]

Darren,  you are one sorry guy, I know this is how you, and a few others get their kicks ,
but please you must grow up now.
I am not bragging, just illustrating how a little piece of luck comes along every now and again.
You must stop attacking forum members in this way, you sound a very bitter man.
Chill out and take things for what they are.
I am sorry that you think this is a lie but hey thats your problem. There really is no need to start calling me a liar that does p me off, wouldnt it you.
The story IS true, sorry.

[PoleKing]

Like me Murphy's, I'm not bitter.

[pristine window cl]

Here comes another.
Happy new year .
why would I make this up.

[Aqua Power Solutions]

Happy new year, this post is more embarrassing than the original one !

[keyser soze]

i bet she paid in cash....

[Tony Edwards]

yawn yawn

[pristine window cl]

now all the trolls have had their say, I would like to say this.

Is it now not time, for the forum to make their mark, and block all negative responses from the same old crowd of bullies, that have driven decent intelligent people away from this forum.
Lets have a vote!

well its clearly not working is it 
so how about a vote.
You know who I mean, as it is the same old crew every time.
Just because they dont like, or agree with some thing, does not give them the right to abuse anyone,
By you,  the admin boys sending them an email telling them so. ETC

Do you mean abuse like this? :

Darren shut up you xxick with ears

  You seem to be the forum rant specialist mate, chill out. Stamping your little foot and crying that the mods should ban everyone you don't like, makes you look silly.
