My sister was going to take an old lady to the cinema to watch a thriller that they had both been looking forward to. A friend spoke to them just before they set off and blurted out the twist in the finale so they knew exactly what the whole thing was about before they went. They didn't bother going!

It wasn't Psycho, but to illustrate... "The creepy guy running the motel was murdering guests. He kills the woman in the shower! He kept the mummified dead body of his mum upstairs!"

You do the posters on here a bit of an injustice.I can’t think of a time when a result or the end of a who dun it has been given away Wordle is popular on here but no one gives the answers.

I absolutely CAN expect that and I had to delete my original reply because you would have thought that REALLY harsh... :whistle:

I would like everybody on the forum to keep all sport, film, TV and book spoilers to clearly labelled spoiler threads or spoiler blocks at all times and also put anything else that might upset someone in a spoiler block! Not to do so is selfish and unnecessary.

Is it really so hard to do this...?
It was wet in Copenhagen yesterday so a few riders fell off. Pog and Rog looked good!

For example, for some reason (that I cannot understand) you expressed disgust at a discussion about ear problems. I respected that and put my subsequent remarks in a spoiler block
Paul really doesn't like reading things like this - [SOMETHING YUCKY] - and I respect his right not to do so!

For you to think it ok to talk openly about things that someone has politely asked you to disguise suggests to me that I shoul be free to come on here and talk openly about bodily functions or anything else that I like in great detail at any time and blow everybody else.

This subject comes up all the time. It happened on the 'Tea' thread years ago. I politely asked people to put TdF race discussions in spoiler threads or spoiler blocks. They laughed and just carried on doing it. Well, when someone effectively says to me "I don't effing care how you feel", I am not left with much choice... I left that thread and never returned.

I would like to stay in this thread but if it is made unacceptable to me I will make one final post here and be on my way.

Yes, I do feel very strongly about this.

Sorry but I am with PaulSB on this one .
Its nothing to do with your feelings which none of us want to upset , it’s about choices YOU have made.
You have decided to live your life to a different clock to 99.99% of the population. You could watch all the stages live or not look at the forum until after you decide to watch the stage . I’ve worked shifts and done both these things in my life .
No , you want the rest of us to work round you , which in my view is a little selfish.

I do not want you to leave ( your imput to this thread is great) and I will not be posting anything deliberately to make to sulk off but if sometime in the future, if I want to talk about a film / book or sport , I will and I will not be using a spoiler block .
