Tour TV coverage (not a spoiler yet!)
It's approaching that time of the year when normal sane people avoid
watching TV/reading papers/ and start putting hands over ears and humming when colleagues say "I hear xxx is out of the Tour" so they can watch the Tour highlights in the evening. I see itv have got "coming soon, TdF" on their website but does anyone know what the plans are this year? BTW I live in a freeview-free area, so just bought a **** off big aerial and it works; but don't buy the box until you have tried one because you can't get your money back (at least not from Argos) |

So say it is broken rather than you can't get a signal. -- yours S Nihil curo de ista tua stulta superstitione |

So say it is broken rather than you can't get a signal. I think the exclusion is maybe to stop people taking the things back at the end of the Big Brother series. When we moved house I found the battery charger for a radio control car which we had taken back to Argos about 18 months ago (oops). I have even heard of someone who did the 16 day return with a scientific calculator they needed for one maths exam. |

Blimey, you mean there are people at your place of work who notice that the Tour is on? (Boggles, on both pistons) A year or three ago I got a bollocking from An Evil Squirrel for having the temerity to have a web session open on letour.fr - one of the years when it wasn't available on terrestrial WWP. Apparently it's OK to do this at the Nut Mines for foopball, ruggerby and even tennis (provided it's Chickenbloke playing) but when it's /the/ most single important sporting event of the summer... Anyway he now works for the Overseas Development Agency and is probably the hon sec of a tenis club to boot and serve him rite no fate is too bad... -- Dave Larrington - http://www.legslarry.beerdrinkers.co.uk/ Give the anarchist a cigarette. |

If you have Freeveiw and were thinking of getting TopUpTV, they now have
British Eurosport in their channel line up. My July is just set to be a great one! The only downside? They broadcast from 14.00hrs each day so you might miss the roll out of the stage. |
