How many peeps here have Sky Sports?

I have a Virgin box and thought I'll activate Sky Sports for July to watch the Lions tour of South Africa. "Press OK to subscribe..." Doddle methinks! ... Sky Sports HD can't be activated on the box, I have to ring sales... ok. Here we go...

Call offshore call centre. Guy tells me it's £23 a month. "That's the HD channels?". "yes" he says, then goes to speak to someone. "There's an offer on, it's only £7". Even better! He goes off again for a few minutes... "It's actually £31". Lordy give me strength. "So it's £31 for HD Sky Sports?". "Yes" he says. "Ok" says I.

I check later and all the SD channels are working but no HD. It's Virgin Media, so I think to myself "they've obviously ****ed it up!" Damn right. I get through to a UK call centre and the guy sorts it out for me and gives me a £7 credit for the HD upgrade. Also, it's a 30 day notice cancellation, and as I only want it for July he issues the cancellation at the same time!

Can somebody tell me why I can't "press ok" and enter my pin on the box and have this done easily and conveniently? Oh that's right, it's Virgin Media <doh>

And I know damn well there'll be a problem with the bill and/or the 30 day cancellation.

Sorry can’t help, I’m with Sky. Funny one was my bill was bloody expensive so my boys mate works for Sky, had a word with him and he says ring this number for a deal. Now I know what he’s like and I could be ringing a porn site, anyway I call straight through no faff, talking to a young lady and there is a distinct Welsh Swansea twang anyway I’m trough to a fellow Jack, and after a little haggling (I think she was flirting with me) managed to know best part of £35 off my bill.

That contract is now up, so best I call them up again. :)

I always go through to "disconnections" just before my contract is up and they always give me a good discount. Funny thing is, I used to go through to a call centre in Swansea, by ASDA in Llansamlet I believe, but it's closed now and relocated to Scotland.

The only reason I'm still with Virgin is that the internet is brilliant. I investigated the options to ditch them just before my last contract renewal and they all seem much of a muchness to be honest. So it wasn't worth the hassle to move.

Reminded me of the scene in Indiana Jones when he shot the whirling dervisher

Apparently, that wasn’t in the script - Harrison Ford had been suffering with ‘Delhi Belly’ - and he felt the urge to go again, so rather than stick with the script and fight the Dervish, he just shot him <laugh>

The Director and Film Crew thought it was brilliant and stuck with it!

A lot of awful rumours being posted on Twitter last night/this morning about Gylfi being arrested yesterday.
