these endless bloody "five million greatest this, greatest that of the year/ever" programmes. Nearly as bad as the endless cooking programmes we have to suffer, saved in part by one or two of the hosts.

I concur! I also hate this 'celeb' culture, and the way everyone's into f*****g botox, even Peep Show's recently bankrupted Matt King has had a dabble at it! Grow old gracefully you sad, rubber-faced vain pr*cks, you look like an over-inflated blow-up doll!* * Purely based on that episode of Only Fools....... honest.

The annoying f***wit on the garbage BT Infinity commercials. The pullover he wears on the recent one is a disgrace.

cor, rog. he has indeed annoyed you. and deservedly. weak, sit-com bulls***. how that or the previous set with that kris wotsit in ever attracted any custom is beyond me. if the advert is annoying, the product can f*** off.

Couldn't agree more, exile.
"I have a fault on my line, I can make outgoing calls, but incoming calls are not being registered, the phone doesn't ring"
"It appears OK but we'll run a test and phone you back"
"That's a joke, right?, no sir, we'll check it and phone you back"
"But???....never mind"

sky always get absolutely hammered over their customer service. i eventually decided i'd get sky a few years ago and contacted them. i was advised i'd have to have a BT landline.
i contacted BT. forty minutes to be dealt with. told them i wanted to keep my number. i got the equivalent of a mechanic sucking air through his teeth as the contact centre muppet advised me that as it wasn't a BT number they may not be able to do it. i let him know that it had originally been issued to me by BT - i'd just ported it to cable and wireless. on hold for longer. told me he couldn't resolve it then and i'd have to ring back.
several more calls varying in length from half an hour to an hour twenty. the final one having me switched between departments like the world's hottest potato. after 80 minutes the line went dead.
i never got sky...

I've personally never had any problems with Sky, or Vodafone, the latter having actually been quite brilliant with me since becoming a customer with them around 4-5 years ago.
Virgin Media and Orange are the two biggest bunch of rip-off merchants and all round f**k-ups I've ever had the displeasure of dealing with, the latter being the worst kind of lying shysters imaginable.

The thing that p*sses me off with Sky is that '12 months are up you've got to pay for the repair of your equipment' b*ll*cks. I've had a few issues that I've just rang them up and said "Ok, put me through to disconnections then........" and ended up getting what I wanted. The point is, I really don't give a sh*t if they switch me off, so I just keep saying it, but it's on principle, why should I pay to get it fixed?
Virgin's biggest problem is their broadband, it's a con. Unlimited my ars. I download stuff, a lot, and on Virgin I used to find myself getting choked for speed as soon as I passed a certain amount, and when I say choked, I mean choked. Something like a quarter of the speed I was paying for for five hours, the worst thing was, the prime time window for bandwidth throttling was the only times I was able to get on as I was in bloody work, as are the majority of their customers.

i reckon i've probably paid usain's ad fees with the amount i've paid 'em for really very little. i haven't even got a current-gen box - it's one of the old ones still branded 'ntl' with no hard drive or anything. i really need to give them a ring but it's one of the many things i never get round to.

Bloody hell, matey, you need to sort that out!
I'll tell you something else too. They were charging my Mum and Dad for multi-room HD subscription for about a year, yet the bedroom box in my sister's room was standard definition service all that time. It was only when my sister got a new TV and I was helping her set it up and noticed there was no HDMI cable, just a f*****g SCART. I got Dad to ring them and got on the phone and told them straight, ripping off tw**s. Anyway, they ended up getting a free broadband upgrade, a free tivo box and a cheaper monthly bill.
I wouldn't go back to them if they paid me!
