Virgin TV has installed a device which warns viewers about unseemly words appearing in its programmes. A laudable aim, you might say. But the latest flags have appeared on Arsenal, canals and Dickens. Never Mind the Buzzcocks, too.
The potential for this is infinite – enough to make you titter, eh? Sorry, that’s censored.

I noticed that the film starring Will Smith called Hancock had been suitably modified on the Virgin EPG! It made oi larf! Richard Branson must still be too much in touch with the Labour Party!
But why would you need this?
What is an off-button for? I have to admit that TV may well have gone down the tubes since I last warmed up the valves but whoopee, I’m reliably informed that Father Christmas is bringing me a super smashing digital thingie, but what is Virgin TV? I’m not sure it exists in this sleepy backwater.
It certainly doesn’t exist in Queensland, whatever it is. 😦
I think it is a British phenomenon. http://www.virginmedia.com/
Virgin deliver their services by fibre optic cable in most areas, although I think there a few areas that rely on the wet string method. Their broadband is generally what they say it is, rather than “up to 20Mb/s” which in my brother’s case, using Sky is actually about 6Mb/s. Not only that, they have the fastest broadband in the UK, up to 100Mb/s and, no, I do not nor never have worked for Virgin. I have always found them very reliable.
What happens when there’s a news item coming up about Virgin?

-this is virgin on the ridiculous.
(Once I worked in a hospital where they had a consultant called Mr Cockin. And once a week he’d have hand clinic- Mr Cockin’s hand clinic was famous)
FEEG, wet string would be an improvement in this area. We seem to be ignored by everyone. TV reception is diabolical, broadband is rubbish, and the roads are full of holes!
