    I actually have 5 virgin.net email addresses but only the main one (the one I use to access my Virgin account) is currently affected. Hopefully they will correct the problem before emailing the secondary addresses!!!

    So now we know that Virgin Media runs on a Windows XP computer!

    None in any of my Virgin.net accounts.

    None in any of my Virginmedia.com accounts.

    None in my Junk folder.

    Well I have received 140+ emails which may seem a lot but if they had emailed ALL their virgin.net clients then I would imagine it would be A LOT WORSE!


    So I am guessing that perhaps they were emailing them in 'batches'...hopefully as they have made a c*ck up with the first announcement they will sort it before sending the next!

    I wonder what colour the ones from my new would-be benefactor in Nigeria who wants me to help him liberate £300,000,000 in frozen funds will emerge as.

    And there was I, thinking that they'd all gone to Richard Branson, Usain Bolt, NSA or GCHQ. :)

    Beam me a few down, Scottie; I want to set up an energy comparison site. :beer:
