You pay for ITV through prices in the shops. It would cost at least a grand for a 30 second slot. The cost is passed onto the consumer.

You never see Poundland advertise on TV do you?

It's quite astonishing in this day and age the BBC can get away with such extortion.

I thought you'd be all for an organisation making a lot of money whatever the method.

Are 7 second videos from "best vines" meant to be funny?

Got facebook invitations to Freshers things, think I might be staying in this Freshers. It's overrated imo

Last year which was obviously my first year I had appendicitis, and generally missed out.

 

Don't want that to happen this year!

When you order a cafetiere of coffee and the waitress plunges it for you.

 

How does she know how strong you'd like your coffee???

Virgin media increasing their broadband prices by over 10%. It has gone up over 30% in the last 18 months. Nearly ten times the rate of inflation. Cvnts.

Ah well, I was planning on going with BT this time round anyway.

To be fair to VM, their service is great, and they did give out a "free" double your speed upgrade last year. But clearly they had always planned to make everyone pay for it by increasing the price several times. I'd rather not have had the upgrade and kept my slower speed at the lower price.

Seem to have missed this, did it come through the door this week?

I'm with VM. Nothing has arrived yet about a price increase. I was with TalkTalk and although cheaper (slightly), they are SH*T

Think this is related to the purchase of BT Sport?

Wait, what? Do I get sports if I stay on virgin or if I swap to BT? What's going on?

Where's Marsh when he's actually useful?

Hmmm... People putting dirty cutlery heads up in the corresponding dishwasher basket.

People who have the Virgin XL package get BT Sport 1 and 2 now for free, they purchased it from BT last Friday (which would have been for a huge amount I imagine given it's a tenner a month to subscribe)

[Finnegan]

But you still get it all free on BT too?

[Parafox]

If you have the full BT package i think so yes. But even then BTSport doesn't show all that many Premiership games. It's quite selective in what you can watch.

[Finnegan]

Still better than what I have now. (nothing.)

[21st Century Fox]

I can't say whether it's worth swapping as I was already on BT but it seems pretty worth it for the Ligue 1, Bundesliga and Serie A matches so far. If they had Eredivisie too I would call it a no brainer. 

[Guest MattP]

BT/ESPN have also got a lot of live Rugby Finners.

He tells me he has not received it and even hinted I was a bad seller. he let out he hasn't received other parcels he's bought as we'll which raises my suspicions, I have proof of postage receipt, is there anything I can do?
