Lance Armstrong

The last couple of days have seen more mud slinging in the sporting soap opera that is Lance Armstrong. I am desperately trying to sit on the fence and write an objective piece here, but it is becoming increasingly difficult not to pick a side as the arguments become more polarised.

 … and thank whatever god you pray to that you are not a celebrity and don't have to put up with people like Annie (second comment down) on the Celebrity Baby Blog talking rubbish about you, and your ex-girlfriend.

Before I barf I will just observe that that man Lance really does get everywhere.

The phenomenon that is Lance Armstrong generates such a vast amount of news and comment on the web, that there's now way anybody would ever be able to cover all of it a vast amount of it comes through the news feeds here at road.cc and never makes it on to the site… what a waste. So I've decided to launch Lance Watch to bring you regular tasters from the wilder shores of Lancedom… many of which have very little to do with the great man at all, well not directly.

If you've got a BlackBerry great news Lance Armstrong is going to help save you from yourself.

Don't panic he's not going to come round to your house and make you ditch your favourite piece of convergent mobile technologies all wrapped up in one BlackBerry shaped package and instead making you actually talk to people … would that necessarily make you a better person anyway.

As you can imagine Lance Armstrong generates a vast amount of news and comment some of it quite bizarre. In the States everything he does is news to someone – including the people who build kitchens.
