Just to be little pedantic - a largely plant based diet did result in the deaths of millions of people due to the pandemic of Phytophthora infestans in 1845 (see the Great Famine in Ireland for more info). Plants can have pandemics too 🪴😷

Lost tnt sports, but so did everyone - will probably pay the £18 when rugby starts again and share my log in with a couple of rugby mates to get full value 🤪.

Just ring them up and haggle - Virgin are losing customers big time and are desperate. Was on £60/month deal and when deal ended was going to £105 - I rang through to "retensions" and said I was willing to pay £50 for what I already had - took 30 minutes but we came to an agreement at £56/month.
