Chances are many people have seen our new TV advertising with Olympic athlete and world's fastest man Usain Bolt that debuted at the weekend to support the speed doubling programme we announced last week, which I've been working on for some time and am very excited by:
To support the advertising we also have cardboard cutouts of the man himself popping up around our offices, and from the one in our head office in Hook he seems to also like his TiVo: One of the funniest things I have seen for some time though is an e-mail that went out from our local charity champions in the same office: You might want to click on it for a larger version, but I've also zoomed in on the key part of the note that has caused much mirth: At a guess it's probably safe to assume that whoever wrote that note wasn't in the ballot for 100m finals day tickets at London 2012!
I was in Kingston (upon-Thames that is, not Jamaica) on Saturday and I wandered past the Chelsea FC shop, where this very much amused me:I know he's been a great signing ... for Liverpool ... but surely he's worth a bit more than a fiver?
Our social media customer care team have come a long way since December 2008 when I posted the first tweet from @virginmedia (or at least I did once we got the name off the user at the time!) ... in fact so far that they've just posted their 100,000th tweet:We're also on the cusp of 30k followers on Twitter (and we're also on Facebook) so why not give the team a follow and shout out if they can help at all?
Great work to Billy, Pete M, Sam, Michael, Pete S, Kyle, Ian, Dan, Sue and Shaun ... and for all the new joiners about to come on board and help us make it even better :)
I thought I'd have a go at it myself, given how much of a Spotify addict I am, with my own tribute to Fonejacker's funniest character:The fact that it starts off with the cheesiest video of all time just adds to it for me. I even got an artist in there called 'Scam Artist'. Beat that!
I loved this when I was sent it last week:Whilst I loved the drive thru, the bit at the petrol station is the funniest part of it. It does go on a bit though ...
