Hope the following doesn't go against the rules of the group.
OK, I just watched the prologue on ITV2. But there are going to be times over the next three weeks when I'm going to be relying on vidio taped highlight programs etc. I'm sure many others will be in the same situation.
Could it be agreed that any postings that mention results could be given some sort of obvious header?
Perhaps something along the lines of Tdf: Stage 2 spoiler: Blah Blah Blah.
The inclusion of the stage number will help us to know if an old thread that is still running for several days is safe to read.

Hope you don't mind me asking.

I was going to ask this in my first mail, but though I'd put the TdF: in the header for this reason. I guessed as it's the weekend, we'd all know the first result, but during the week I can watch it live - a lot of people can't 🙂 It is a good idea, and I'm glad I thought of it 😉

Good idea (although I'll actually be there this coming week !!)
BTW - just watched the ITV2 coverage - we missed the "Tough Eh! " Locozade ad and the Halfords ad with the kid falling off the bike that they showed at EVERY break last year .... that and David Millar's misfortune rather spoiled my viewing!

Sounds great, but what about the irregular poster whose not read this, and in a wave of emotion rushes into print after watching the most incredible finish he's seen for years. I know- I've done that, and been shouted at!!. Mike

Regulars have fun .. newbies will get over excited ..
Hmm, well that seems to have missed the point of mentioning in the header what you're likely to spoil.
I think now I'll go and watch the coverage that I taped while away over the weekend before I read either of the threads that look like they'll obviously be discussing the race and results.
