Growler it seems Virgin also show Liverpool FC TV

I have never watched it but I have seen MUTV on their various free sampling weekends and that was utter shite so I expect FCTV will be same.  The fare consists of old has been sitting around with some carefully placed B class totty du jour discussing matches they are not allowed to show.

Even the manager's press conference uncut was so dull I nearly nicked Mrs K's knitting for some excitement

 lol: lol: lol:

but far worserer than that


Not surprised you gave up Sky.  The sports stuff is excellent but not everyone's  tea:.   My virtual axe murderer (aka Mrs K) loves all the murder based fiction but most of that eventually gets to Freeview
Well, whatever, nevermind

So are you saying we will see you less and less because you find watching a repeat of some twat living on a desert island (by choice FFS) better than the wittery repartee (at your expense sometimes) here

We will be bereft just like wot we were last week  cry:


If they ever show the Fairey Rotadyne escipode that was good (but probably only if you're of a certain age)

It's ONLY a repeat IF you've seen it before, which I clearly haven't.

Well I found it interesting, and most enthralling information contained within for when I finally draw a line under the exsistance i currently endure, both here at G Towers and in the wider werld in general.
No cnut ever..well rarely, and only normally when pissed as a rat..... agrees with my (admitedly) somewhat eccentric views, opinions and rantings, so when I've finally had enough, the island will call me to enable me to rant to my 'earts content, in the full knowledge that no bastard on earth will disagree or barrack me. cloud9:

SWEET...as a coconut. :thumbsup:

I'm not opting for the sports either. Just the freeview stuff plus ESPN.

Over one hundred channels apparently.
Mainly of shite I suspect. ::)

there'll be heaps of shite but easily avoided

How can you get ESPN without sport and why would you want to?

Well, whatever, nevermind

Dunno.
I'll check the contract, but i think you can get ESPN without the sports package as a whole.

5 days to go, and I AM actually cackin' meself. scared2:

What can possibly go wrong i ask meself?  Shrugs:



With my track record with all things digi, plenty i reckon. scared2:

Now, some serious questions.
Will these Virgin goons install their intermong connection for me, and will they delete this aoHELL shite, or will they just lob a load of discs at me and say, "there you go chief" ? Shrugs:

Will I retain my email addy, or will I have to see if GROWLER @Virgin.com is available?
What will happen to all my emails?

So many questions with plenty of suprises await I fear. scared2:

Shouldn't actually affect me piccies and other stuff saved on the 'puter, as opposed to aoHELL stuff, should it?

Will I retain my email addy, or will I have to see if GROWLER @Virgin.com is available?
What will happen to all my emails? If your email is Growler@aol.com then it will have to change so save all your contacts in an address book and notify them of the change. If you have a net based email such as Growler@ yahoo.com then you'll be fine.

So many questions with plenty of suprises await I fear. scared2: Your biggest surprise is likely to be the speed and efficiency of Virgin connection


Shouldn't actually affect me piccies and other stuff saved on the 'puter, as opposed to aoHELL stuff, should it? Piccies saved on your 'puter should not be be a problem but why not open a Free Picasa Account with Google and save all your piccies there and save on memory in your PC?
I used to have a handle on life but it broke.

Thanks me owld dog. You make it sound so smooth and easy, but I'm going to see if I can have a 'puter nursey here to hold me hand and wipe me fevered brow on staurday I think. surrender:

This is s truly momentus moment for me. Been putting it off for years purely because of my fears of stuff vanishing never to be seen again. scared2:
