Hmm

 

[PocketFrog]

Now even the SKY team are at it.

Look at him, stoned out of his gourd, he doesn't even know it's not a bike! smh.

Er... Armstrong's an arse.

I thought I'd try and sum up the previous 2500 posts in a single sentence.

Bugger overlap. 2501 posts.

 

[eck]

No, Hont. I can't agree. Your post is disrespectful to arses.

Hmm

Ashenden is a consistent voice of common sense.

As in..

"Lance Armstrong's peanut transplant was a failure. The peanut rejected him."?

I think 'nobber' gets the majority vote.

charlie brookers weekly wipe summed lance up pretty well, very funny

 

[Mr Haematocrit]

In the off chance you were lying awake at night wondering what America's greatest moral philosopher Charlie Sheen thinks about Lance Armstrong, your wait is over: He’s “kind of a douche,” the “Anger Management” star told Jay Leno on Thursday on “The Tonight Show.”

When asked about the ongoing revelations about Armstrong’s doping, Sheen -- hardly an exemplar of virtue himself -- revealed that he’s not exactly a fan of the disgraced cyclist. At a party some time ago, he eagerly introduced himself to Armstrong, only to be dismissed with a terse, “That’s nice.”

​

 

[Mr Haematocrit]

Lol ... how bad is your life when even Charlie Sheen thinks you have messed up.
I really think Jay Leno was good with his comments, they should have got him to do the confession interview

Wise move by Ashenden; never thought he sat all that comfortably amongst the CCN group.

He appeared to be aiming for reasoned, professional and factual impartiality, whilst driven towards a better future (to a certain level, I may be wrong - please correct me) ... and it seemed to me that he wasn't dovetailing all that well with the group's path.

The CCN crew appear to be hanging on to issues in a way that is too personal and reactionary; whilst this might have helped in a revolutionary breaking the seal sort of way, they aren't standing up to suggest really credible forms of solution. I wish them well and all that but balanced governance and better control through scientific means might be the new straight and narrow perhaps - not wobbling on that Greg LeMond should be president (IMO); what would he do if he got there?

 

[Aperitif]

Wh
What a total nobber.

I am stripping him of this title too...it is far to good an accolade. He is a farking daffodil - no more no less. A disgusting person.

and the PR fight back begins....

I'm starting to think the Oprah interview did him more damage and in ways unexpected by his PR team

 

[yello]

In a sense, he is the fall guy. In no sense is he not guilty.

Armstrong put himself in the firing line and that's nobody's fault but his own.

That seems to be the general consensus state-side. His 'confession' lacked any sense of genuine remorse and every sense of blaming circumstances and others.
