Virgin has cure for bad dates:
With Valentine’s Day looming, a mobile phone company in Australia has come to the rescue with a service offering an escape from the date from hell. All a person has to do is discreetly dial three numbers and then hang up without saying a word. “Virgin Mobile will call them back a minute later with a perfect excuse to get them out of there. We’ll even talk them through what to say,” the company, a joint venture of the Virgin Group and Optus, said in a statement.
Reminiscent of the early ‘90s, when you could page yourself in the middle of a boring or awkward meeting with similar messages.
