Doing my head in!

Every ten minutes there's a five minute advert break. The adverts are not even interesting. Funeral policies, Mis-sold PPI's

Damn I missed those! I ended up with two packs of Tenna Lady.

Better still don't talk about how the race is going in a thread moaning about Ads.

Now David, fans at home in the United Kingdom will be asking themselves whether or not they have a personal injury claim on the PPI they were mis-sold when taking a special commemorative £5 coin to celebrate the Queen's birthday because they're over 50 for only 13p a day and thanking our brave soldiers. So, what's happening?

I don't know, but the chateau we're looking at there once hosted Queen Margaret when she was fleeing into exile in the early 1620s and interestingly enough the very room she slept in was bricked over and only discovered last week.

Heh heh, the things you learn. We'll just take a short break now as something interesting happens.

I think they were 'front-loading' the ads so that the entire Aspin (and finish) would be uninterrupted. I don't mind lots of ads sold by ITV4 into cycling programmes - could mean more cycling coverage in future.

@spekkie why not watch on Spanish or French TV then ? If you get things setup you can stream the Radio5 audio over the top ?

My thread title doesn't say "spoilers" so I will respect those that are not watching right now.

Adverts have slowed down now that we're near the end.

Spent the last hour trying to buy a dimension data, don't even know what one is but I think they're similar to Bassetts Allsorts.
