    Virgin Media send me an email that my contract's up and the price has went up £25, but if I was a new customer I'd get it for £40 cheaper than the new price (15 cheaper than what I was previously). Phoned them yesterday to say new price was too much, guy offers me adding Sky Sports for new price +£2 which is maybe a good deal but in no way cheaper than the new price.

    Also I have TV, broadband and phoneline with them, as well as an addon for Sky Movies. According to their system if I took off the phoneline (which I have never used as I physically don't have a house phone) and the Sky Movies it would cost even more. Somehow this package and the phoneline is -£40. One of the rare instances of a company paying you to use their services.

    Guy confirms cheaper price for new customers but can't do anything to match it despite me being with them for over 12 years. Says another company "will give you a discount but then that will end and you will pay new price". Clearly the best bet is to keep switching every 2yrs.

    I had similar although I've only been a customer for 18mths. Broadband contract was £27 per month which did me fine and had no issues. Received an email saying it would go to £50 per month. Gave them a phone and was speaking to an offshore call centre, was offered £42 with basic TV package and a landline, told the guy I didn't want TV or a landline, he went away again and came back to tell me he'd use his "personal discount" to bring it down  to £40 per month for broadband. Politely told him to bolt and he said he'd get me through to the disconnection team. Five minutes later call was picked up by someone with a broad Fife accent, within two minutes got my current package for a couple of quid over what I'm paying just now.

    Absolute chancers, just have to persevere or look around for a better deal

    The stubborn old f*****s refuse to listen to why the council say the trees have to be moved and witter on about something totally unrelated.

     

    I think they've gave a perfectly reasonable answer to why they have to be removed but aye, f**k the council, I want in the papers looking all maudlin

    A dead body was found floating in the river. The police recovered it, and found a wallet with the body. They found out that the wallet belonged to Mr. Smith. But they still weren't sure if the dead body was of Mr. Smith or not.

    So they did some investigation and found out about the twin brothers Mark and Harry, who were very close friends of Mr. Smith. They are summoned. At first the police shows them the wallet, then a wrist watch and asks them if they belonged to Smith. They said yes.

    The police further asked them if there was any other detail by which they could 100% verify if the corpse was of Smith or not. The twins presented a weird request.

    They wanted to see the ass of the corpse. The police were surprised, but agreed. After having a close look at the ass, they screamed "This is definitely not Smith! Smith had two assholes not one!"

    The police inspector asked them, "How is that possible? Did you actually see his ass when he was alive?"

    The twins replied in union, "We never actually saw his ass, but everytime we both and Smith went out together, someone or the other would always say: Here comes Mr. Smith with two assholes."
