Is there a pub that will be showing LeTour? Especially the 7.00pm ITV4 highlights?

Yep, girlfriend is already trying to find way's to stop me watching it. MJ's funeral.... :shock:

    You need to get one of these, then watch it at your leisure, rewinding all the interesting bits over and over and over... and since it's yours no, she cannot record the funeral on it (yawn).

    I accept this may be an unrealistic plan given the logistics involved.

    Alternatively, I'm sure Phil, the landlord of my local would be happy to oblige.

    I accept that this, also, may be an unrealistic plan etc.

    But in London? I have no idea.

    Happily, my wife would much prefer to watch le tour, but you can't have her either.

    Regrettably I think that is rather unlikely don't you?

    I would say torrent, but you won't get it tonight, do ITV not do something akin to bbc iplayer, ie just download it?
    You can get the iplayer stuff within minutes of the actual broadcasted one being finished, and it shouldn't be more than around 600mb.

    EDIT: http://www.itv.com/ITVPlayer/
    Yesterdays highlights on there, so maybe tonights will appear later tonight....?

    Failing that, set the TV on ITV4, and mysteriously 'lose' the remotes, ALL of them.

    Or really failing all of that, I think it is repeated on ITV4 at another time, or maybe not until tomorrow?

    I don't know of anywhere in particular but if I was looking for a pub in London showing the TdF I'd start around South Ken where there's a big ex- pat French community, French schools etc

    They probably all moved here to get away from it.
