Once again the spoiler issue is raised in the Doctor Who thread. I've chimed in - but this time it was someone else complaining.

TVF mods - can't you help out once in a while in this issue? Its not as if the rules aren't clear.

OH yeah I remember now. I have a very exclusive tip-off that HE'S GOING TO DIE but then COME BACK TO LIFE AS A DIFFERENT ACTOR.

Sorry to ruin it for you all.

Don't make light of my beef, boy, or I'll box your ears.

It's the only way I can deal with my grief

Hi Bail.

Please step in. There's a problem.

Just can't get my head around how there's a facility to prevent spoilers, but some members think they needn't bother, and then gleefully say so.

I would post much more in the Who thread if I wasn't so worried I'd have my enjoyment wrecked.

[Gavin Scott]

Oh yay @ you, you already did!

Thanks Bail.

Thail.

So that puts him in the Rowridge transmitter area, not in Bath as suspected.

A quite reasonable explanation for the C4+1 slide issue from Dosxuk:

When the racing is on, I've seen a couple of breaks taken up with a single advert with live odds for the upcoming race, which an hour later would probably be against the rules to show.

Very plausible, and also likely.

So what does Brekkie Boy do? Ignores that completely and comes up with his own steaming pile of baseless excrement, effectively accusing C4 of a cover-up in the process:

I would guess something screwed up with their first ad break as the only time I've known them to do something like that is when trying to censor something they'd rather not screen again by conveniently losing the picture.

David Lees leaps to BB's defence, although his observation that Brekkie's post did come a minute (or less) after dosxuk's post is true; it could be a mere case of both posts were being created, but dosxuk was quicker on the ball with what may have been the right answer than Brekkie's suggestion.

This time, I think the judgement against Brekkie is a bit harsh and uncalled for as he hasn't said or done anything to warrant being flamed so suddenly.

Banish me from this place for ever now if you wish...

Well I for one am glad that the idea that newsreaders would use paper has been proven to be simply a gimmick. What with autocues and computers nobody needs or really uses paper or pens for anything.

[iSon]

If I see the phrase "hippy shakes" once more I am going throw my computer directly at the head of the person that says it.

[Pete]

well at least this time we didn't have "time to purge those temp files" automatically following it like it usually does.

[all new Phil]

Is it just me who's never witnessed this "hippy shakes" malarkey?

Maybe my temp files need purging.
