Virgin Consumer

Well you might have misread the post and you might be here expecting a young lady or man ready and willing to explain what they would do for you to get your rocks off! Sorry, wrong, but I will tell you ten things you didnt know about Virgin, the company.

1. Virgin America - Well if your English you might not have hear of this one but if you're American you probably have. Ultra cool and modern US domestic Airline based in San Francisco. A bit like Easyjet but less Orange! Virgin America
2. Virgin Charter - No you can't hire a girl for an hour but you can book a jet to get you from New York to Memphis, have a Martini and get an inflight Massage without some kid screaming two seats away. Unless you have your own that is. Virgin Charter
3. Virgin Health Bank - Store your babies Stem Cell's, not sure on this ones a bit weird and feels slightly wrong! Virgin Health Bank
4. Virgin Balloon Flights - Dont run out of puff or are you fed up of all my hot air? Virgin Balloons
5. Virgin Games - Yes that right play with yourself and stay a Virgin! You might also loose a lot of money as it involves a gamble or two. Virgin Games
6. Virgin Drinks - Yes thats right pure, unadolterated, Virgin Vodka! It's so pure they called it Virgin! Virgin Drinks
7. Vfestival - Probably a good place to lose your Virginity, hence the only Virgin branded company without Virgin in the title. The Vfestival
8. Virgin Megastore - Yep it still exists… if you are one of our friends over the pond American, it's Zavvi for us Brits! Virgin Megastore and Zavvi in the UK
9. Virgin Earth - Thats right the Bearded Wonder has built a new planet for us all to live on. Sorry, thats a lie, but he is offering a good wedge of cash if you can help stop global warming. Virgin Earth
10. Virgin Nigeria - Just in case the guy that wins Virgin Earth suggests stopping flying to save on CO2 emmission, the Bearded Wonder setup another Airline of course, this time in Nigeria. Virgin Nigeria

Virgin has been in the news for the last week or so regarding a proposed takeover of Northern Rock.

If successful they would incorporate the Newcastle-based building society/bank in their own existing Virgin Money brand.

The Virgin-led consortium "bid includes an immediate repayment of £11bn of the £25bn the bank owes the Bank of England, with the rest to be repaid within three years. (BBC NEWS)"

Monster money!!!  It looks like that the expanding Virgin brand is getting bigger.

If it's successful that is, it seems that a major shareholder of Northern Rock is opposing the Virgin Bid
