Answer 1

Just unscrew the connector and you will see its easy. More or less the same as ordinary TV coaxial except for the foil. Ive done mine and I'm  thick

Answer 2

I have watched them and they have a special tool. Maybe a firm like Maplins sell them.  

Answer 3

Is that a euphemism? If so, have s*x and that "cuts the cable".

Answer 4

they will probably have used a crimp-on f-connector and they are not reusable so you would have to buy a pack of twist on f-connectors.(B&Q sell them). then just cut the wire to size and using a stanley knife remove around 10mm from the outer insulation, pull back the copper braid and the remove  8 mm from the inner insulation to expose the inner core, then just fit the f-connector by twisting it into the cable.

Answer 5

Personally I think you should leave the virgins and their cables alone. Perv.
