Virgin Active

Communication - Virgin Active, you're doing it wrong!

Virgin Active

I really like the Virgin brand, I have a gold card membership for air-miles, a Virgin Amex is my main credit card, I have Virgin Media supply my home broadband and I am a member of the local Virgin Active health and fitness club (The Glamorgan in Swansea). Heck I'm even a big fan of Mike Oldfield (though technically he's no longer part of Virgin). All in then, I spend easily in excess of £10,000 each year with the Virgin group of companies and three or four times that if you add in the money that goes through my credit card.

DC 10 - "The Flying Coffin"

Terror in the Skies (or why I don't fly "muggle" class...)

Let me start by pointing out that I'm not a very good passenger. Be it car, train, boat or plane, unless I'm at the controls I don't enjoy it, not one bit.

I'm also a snob.

As such, for me flying with a budget airline can be a thoroughly unpleasant experience, however a trip to America back in 2000 was worse than anything even I could have imagined.
