I need that oxford dictionary again, and i need to find the words 'denial', 'deluded' and 'pedant' once more. Then a thesaurus and the phrase 'arguing for the sake of arguing' and 'admit that you all lost'

Have enough friends also. I was at a wedding all day yesterday, and only got in at 3am. which is why i wasn't on here

strange..he claims to be educated...yet his style of writing self evidently shows that is wrong, and using a dictionary for simple words..sigh..education standards have certainly dropped

this is what I was after, admission that you don't have a leg to stand on. I proved you wrong and now you are just cracking a few jokes to engineer your exit from debating the facts with me.

Facts: 1) Virgin Media twitter feed is full of said messages i mentioned, and you said is questionable source. Source = credible. There in black and white for anybody with a modem to see (so about 3 billion people).

2) Fact 2) Loads and Loads of sports fans, of which there are loads, are leaving virgin media. Source - all of the internet, all over twitter, and even on this forum (see thread). prior admission from Virgin rep "underestimated the demand for BT Sport."

3) Fact 3) plenty of friends, wedding all day yesterday

4) Fact 4) cracking jokes to engineer your exit from another situation you have lost.

anyway, enough of that. Any updates today? any latest rumours for Saturday. I need to sport out my sports package for the new season. Need to know what I'm doing about it and what channels i am buying from what. A problem that I share with millions of people who love sport, and are persecuted for caring about sport.

Sorry but i take issue with your "facts"
Fact 1) what one person says on twitter doesn't make it fact that is hearsay
Fact 2) subscriptions are up based on confirmed figures, whilst true to say many are leaving many more are joining
Fact 3) good for you but fail to see the relevance or the need to tell us on this thread
Fact 4) what exit?

It does feel you are purposely stirring but then claim to be the victim, I do sense much anger and trouble within you and if you do feel such issues there are plenty of government sites that can offer counciling and guidance for free and I will happily point you in the right direction

Sigh, education mode on again
Fact 1, not a fact. I said you were a questionable person. To be very clear, a person full of bile that suits the gutter more than the pavement. i apologise I was not clear enough for you. i base that on the comments you have made in other posts, oh, and that is what you call "a fact"

Fact 2, not a fact. Perhaps you need to understand what a source is, there is no verification. I asked whether you were privy to the helpdesk (obviously not) therefore it can not be fact.

Fact 3, not a fact. attending a wedding is no proof of friendship, and for you to say that means you haven't been to many weddings, (ask some who have married at them)

Fact 4. Woahh..almost right but no cigar. Humour was the intent, but not for your benefit. More for mine

Opps, and now..education mode off

Does anybody know how long it takes VM cancellations to answer the calls?

Of course i am not going to cancel just want a bill reduction

Oh and Discovery Travel and Living is not on XL as it closed a few months back when TLC launched, I find it off that History 2 is on L when History is only on XL.

Does anybody know what happened to the suggestion that Spotify was going to be bundled in with XL?

I got through within about 5 mins at 11.30 today.

Your logic is Bizarre, and anybody with 2 brain cells to rub together can see that.

Your logic regarding the thousands of upon thousands of reports, and tweet of people wanting to leave Virgin because they haven't got BT Sports is on the same lines of, "I have never been to the Moon, so I cannot say for sure if it exists"

You have just put it to me that because none of us work for Virgin call centre none of us are allowed to gauge that people want to leave. Despite all the scores and scores of evidence in black and white available to us, it isn't true? the call centre is snowed under with calls and there are tons of reports of people struggling to get through. But because none of us work there, it is a questionable source to suggest so?

Admit you are wrong basically. You are just messing about. Not got a leg to stand on and you know it.

Also how would I get an invited to a friends wedding and spend all day and night there if i had no friends.

What is your source on me gate crashing it? You accused me of making up people wanting to leave virgin, but you just made that up. I have proof that you are a questionable source. You don't know me for a start, and have never met me, which automatically makes you a questionable source and a liar. Where's you have no proof that I am. Loads of people are leaving and want to leave Virgin, I have the proof on twitter, forums, articles and comments sections all over the web. It is a fact. It is a proven fact, there is black and white and admission from Virgin staff. Whereas you have no proof of yours.

I'm glad humour was for you, because it wasn't funny.

Oh he's back. Thought yesterday's peace was too good to last

"thousands of upon thousands of reports"
I have to doubt that is true...apart from the point that i suspect you can't count beyond 20 (I am presuming you are using feet and hands), i am guessing you are not counting all the posts, but speculating again. Yet you call that "fact".
I said, how do you know they are leaving..you did not put it as speculation (look it up for meaning), you stated it as fact.
"tons of reports"..ahh, exaggeration again.
I would be happy to trade wit with you..but i suspect I will be short changed by half.

Could we engineer invites to more weddings, birthday parties, bar mitzvah's for him ??

johnasimmons · 03-08-2013, 17:04

Make of it what you will but I have been around a few other forums and the same message seems to be coming over from VirginMedia customer service:

"We have definitely got BT Sports. We had to hold out the longest to get the best deal and should be no price change for those on top tier packages. Official announcement confirming this expected by the end of next week"

No need. He has "lots of friends". Go on..ask him..he will verify his own statement, so it must be "fact"

Well the proof is in the pudding and so far my pudding has not arrived.
