Lets have a round of applause for Virgin Media.

[Meade's Ball]

I notice that on the DVD an hour of 24 lasts about 38 minutes.

I'd rather buy a dvd of the adverts not shown on the dvd you have. 22 minutes from the cliff-edged pauses they have failed to deliver in your dvd. Ideally they'd not be presented by comedians desperate to have another moment of a career, but i wouldn't mind an occasional analysis of the adverts i'd just watched maybe from Lenny Henry and Stephen Hawkings, deep in discussion of the racist and frozen-bodied disability undercurrents they'd just seen, and trying to work out which was the funniest and which one might make the product advertised most buyable.

 

[Leekbrookgull]

Any one who is willing to take on Sky. Then WELL DONE.

 

[coventrygull]

And Mr Branson will kick their arse

 

[Nemesis]

virgin media. can kiss my hiney. they have an utter freak of the highest order working in their retentions department.i wont name her but she is unable to hear properly cannot work a computer is entirely unable to send a letter to the correct place. can not give me a proper fax number. tried several times to transfer my call to her superior. failed. ended up getting her knobcheese boss to come to her desk and talk on the phone to me. knobcheese was not able to deal with my complaint so put me through to some other dipshit in some other rat infested call centre who pleaded the fifth and told me i was through to the wrong department. this total loser put me through to the original department who told me i needed to speak to losers department. i played phone tag for 2 hours. ended up back on the phone to the original dummy and asked to cancel all our accounts. two business and our personal one. oh no sir. i will put you through to sales. where they tried to get me to stay so i detailed the morons i have just spoken to and why i want to cancel so the butt muncher agreed to cancel my accounts.

i piss off to watch my sorry arse football club attempt to (and fail quite spectacularly) play football and the wife gets on here and someone tells her virgin media are the way forward and best of a bad bunch or whatever.

i get home in the morning with a thumpoing hangover and my mouth feeling like a lawnmower has down ten laps, the baby is screaming and wife tells me to phone up virgin and grovel and get our accounts reinstated. hands me the baby and pisses off out. i try to phone virgin. press 1 if you want a microwave dinner, press 2 if you want the washing done, press 3 if you want to speak to someone who will not listen to what you say, press 4 if you want an arrogant condescending teenager. press 5 if you want phone sex. press 6 is you want a brain dead bint press 7 if you want the time and weather for brisbane or banff

pressed 5 and got some patronising fruitloop who wanted to know why i had a change of heart. told her the truth, my wife was making me do this and she queried who wore the trousers in a joking fashion in our relationship.

but oh no. phone sex five can't deal with this. the baby is in my arms hollering and whooping because mummy dearest has bogged off. number five puts me through to Linda the scouser who has a very basic grasp of english. i ask if she woudl prefer to converse in another language of her choice. she puts me on hold and then puts my call through to what sounds like columbia but is probably southampton or something.

eventually get what i need done. 1 hr 30mins later.

three hours thirty minutes on the phone to those schmucks.

a pissed off wife and a baby who hates me.

virgin media can kiss my hairy arse.

and i was right and justified in my original complaint which has now be refunded. if they did that in the first place i could spare her downstairs giving me ear ache for hours.

but no.

so i know the refund is coming and treated myself to good ale.

Not a fan then?

 

[Starry]

Not a fan then?

What an idiot. He is snoring on the sofa now.

 

[Lucky_C]

I'm pissed off to lose 24 - especially halfway through the series, but i know that fucktard murdoch is to blame.


i also miss sky sports news. fuckers.

[The Large One]

Sky sucks. Murdoch can go take a long walk off a short pier.

THREAD CLOSED.

 

[Robot Chicken]

But Dream Team and Mile High were actually quite decent

 

[Easy 10]

What an idiot. He is snoring on the sofa now.

Good to know his efforts were appreciated then.

 

[BensGrandad]

And Mr Branson will kick their arse

What like he did BA?

I am against Sky because they are stopping Dream Team it is somewhat far fetched but still enjoyable. Have the viewing figures dropped that much to stop making it? Would have thought that a new director could have sorted it out.

 

[Easy 10]

Oh gawd, Dream Team was utter TRIPE, BG.

24 and The Simpsons are the only worthwhile shows on Sky One. And 24 is only watchable via Sky Plus, being as there's adverts ever six minutes.

 

[Starry]

Good to know his efforts were appreciated then.

Heh!

I couldn't have appreciated it any less if I tried. He created the situation by being such a stubborn donkey. A little give and take and both Virgin and myself would have been happy. But no, the drunken one knows best and ends up annoying me and insulting most of the Virgin call centre.

I notice that on the DVD an hour of 24 lasts about 38 minutes.

I was lent series three of 24 and it annoyed the buggery out of me. What with catchup from the last episode, split screen stuff, the hour long episode was so bits and pieces.

I actually gave up after DVD 1...I didn't bother with the other 6 DVD's

 

[Les Biehn]

TV in the main is shit. I watched the first three series of 24 but was getting quite bored. The only thing I enjoy at the moment is Life on Mars and the only channel I wish I had was FX so I could watch The Wire.

In fact does anybody know how I could get episodes of The Wire online?

 

[Braders]

But Dream Team and Mile High were actually quite decent

to be honest i don't give a f*** about the other channels - i can catch up with football news on the website and that but missing DT now is going to be hell - seen every one since the show started (including all 3 behind the scenes shows and DT80s) and even if i get sky three due to the repeat being at one on a Saturday i'll still miss it whenever we have an away game

only about 12/13 more episodes left aswell , so close to having an 100% record of watching the show

I think thta is possibly the best rant ever on here.

I would love to be a fly on the wall this morning in Starry's house.
