It's easier than you think, Tommo, easier than you think.
Some sharp-eyed fan will always come back at you if you let drop even a tiny hint while commenting on another thread.

The only way to ensure strict secrecy is to ask all visitors to the spoiler thread TO COMMENT ON ALL OTHER THREADS FIRST - sorry for shouting - then to Stay on the Spoiler Thread for all further comments.

Now, how could that be policed, one wonders?

Excellent idea. Sadly discretion seems an impossible request these days. Must be the fashion for kiss & tell exposé.

Just popped in to say, despite my own feelings, I am glad you found yourselves some cute moles and hope you have a great thread on Saturday.

Thanks. Post of the day for me!

LOL!!!

Olivej and Footygirl, thanks a million for the good news. I love Saturday evenings after SCD with our nibbles and booze. I'll have foie gras pate on biscsuits and white wine - probably Gros Plante de Nates or Vouvray - if anyone wants to join me.

BTW who will open the spoiler thread and when?

hey thanks! i will be out on saturday as i have a bday party so will miss stricty but by the time i come back home if i am not to drunk will log and check or leave it for sunday morning

anyway i prefer to see the spoiler because then i can concentrate in the dance off to double check if i agree with the judges or not

Thanks a million. That's very magnanimous of you. I know I am not alone in appreciating that comment.

Last year "self policing" of the spoiler threads seemed to work quite well. Of course there's going to be the danger of leaks but we did pretty well last time so hopefully it'll be good again.

Many thanks and hugs olivej and footygirl - and to your friendly sources. Love the Saturday night excitement and anticipation on this thread - it's become a tradition!

And if we have any more of last year's nonsense I'll be manning the barricades with the rest of you.

Such a relief to know not only that there will be spoilers, but that they will be revealed by forum members we know and trust, so thank you in advance, olive and footygirl. Mwah!

Sadly, there are always wind-up merchants who post false spoilers, causing confusion and mayhem, so irregular posters frequently don't know who to trust. I posted a spoiler last year when a friend was at one of the live shows and it's not pleasant to be doubted, but I totally understand why it is so.

Roll on Saturday!

Great news about spoiler! thanks everyone! I am with you toyboysmum if they don't want to know the spoiler stay out of the bloomin spoiler thread!! Roll on Sat night- will be teetotal thanks to antibiotics but will have nibbles ready !

Yay! Thanks footy and olive! Xx
