Aye, I worked for a UK broadband company one summer in a call center and anyone that rang up to cancel were sent to the cancellation department that threw loads of goodies at them to stay.

I'm moving back to the house I bought with my ex wife soon and I decided to change from Pre-Pay Power (who've been supplying electricity to the house since they first came onto the market about 10 years ago) to Electric Ireland who I had at a previous house and found to be great.
PP Power reang me 3 or 4 times to keep my custom and I refused each time but on the final day of the cooling off period they offered me €300 credit to stay. Should have said that in the first place, lol...
Couldn't refuse €300..... :laugh:

Result! I guess they held back on it incase you're the type of person that'll stay if they ask nicely.

When I got back to college in September I was telling a few people about the joy of working in a call center. Then on our first class night out, one of the girls bought me a hape of drink as she heard what I said, rang her phone company to "cancel" and they gave her three months free.

Delighted, so she was :laugh:


Ah Wrighty's alright. Talks some spoof but a good guy. Loved him as a player. That Crystal Palace team with John Solako and Mark Bright was amazing

I never minded him as a player or anything and it isn't even anything in particular he says or does, it's just him. I even liked him a bit when he first turned pundit but he just got more annoying over the years and witnessing him on I'm a Celebrity.. finished me off.

Getting a cut on the sole of your foot.

Yeah I guess it's fair to say I only have myself to blame..

Another song ruined (the King Crimson song obviously, not the rap shite) thanks to appearing in an ad.

Yoga..maybe this isn't a peeve. Used be lads with beards putting their feet around their heads. Now it's cracking birds with tight little gooches wearing absolutely nothing and pretending like they're not looking for wank-likes on Instagram. It's all very nice to look at, too bloody nice, but it's fairly absurd stuff too. 'Live your life' 'mediate' and all I can think about is camel toe heaven.

Sure what else would you meditate upon.

Therein lies the key. Snatch utopia

camel toe heaven.

Was that White Zombie?

So, my saga of looking for a new deal with Virgin Media has begun in earnest. 2 hours on hold yesterday and several rounds of instant messaging later, they want to offer me a "deal", which is turning out much more expensive than what I have at the moment, but without the movies. Any advice or pre-prepared scripts I can hit them with?
