Virgin Money.

I'd suggest he's too clever to buy a football club, let alone buying NUFC off Mike Ashley.

True, I reckon* he is smart** enough to get the stadium rights cheap and enjoy the free positive media if he were to return the name St James' Park though.

The only person I've heard that off is you. Twice now. :lol:

Aye Alex you're right there. The only people making money from football clubs are the Glazer's, and that's because they have the biggest one.

Empty yours as well, Chez. Before I bust your entire arse.

Ironically, I can't empty my box. Will have it cleared by this evening, am off to buy a new suit, so it will have to wait (a lucky blue one if anyone gets the reference).

Me Dad used to work with a bloke whose wife ran the old Virgin Record Shop in the Toon (the one that became Hitsville's CD shop on Saville Row). Branson used to stay at their house when he was in the area. Sound bloke by all accounts. Remember the miserable fat boiler who used to work in Hitsville btw? (She's not my Dad's ex-colleague's wife before you ask).

Indeed. Refused to buy the Brawn team back in 2009 because it wasn't 'financially viable' and they were running away with the F1 titles.

I hate everything about Virgin. Their most recent stunt with me was randomly trying to bump up the APR on my credit card. When I opted to refuse the rise, they froze my account so basically withdrew my credit at a pretty impractical time. I'd never missed a payment and have immaculate credit history too. Pack of massive twats. Don't even get me started on their broadband either!

did you read all of the terms and conditions on the credit card agreement?

 

whats wrong with their broadband? Im with them for TV, 'Net and phone and aside from the odd bit of bollocks you expect from big companies (sky/bt/whoever else are no better) ive been pretty happy with them, upgraded to 50mb fairly recently and they were perfectly good with it

I entered a 12 month contract with them (this is going back a couple of years mind) for 2mb broadband and basically, unless it was between midnight and 9am, I couldn't even stream a YouTube video without buffering. Online gaming was out of the question too. Yet when I rang they were fucking terrible, basically refusing to accept that they were fucking shit. I don't care if 'congestion' occurs during peak hours, that shouldn't mean I get dial-up speeds. Getting angry just reliving this :lol: I'm going to look for a new retro shirt anyway, I'm not walking around sporting their logo that's for sure.
