Re: What are you watching at the moment

Watched the first part of the ESPN 30 for 30 on Lance Armstrong last night.

Amazing how the cycling authorities turned a blind eye to how rotten their sport was.

I'm not sure how to describe Lance, he certainly is a piece of work.

I started watching it but decided 30 minutes in to press record, can't stand the ads.

It seemed everyone was doping back then, but gee they gave the sport such a bad name. I can't stand Lance, drug cheat or not I don't think he is a nice person.

I only remembered it was on well after it started so streamed it and fast forwarded the ads.

It's fairly clear he was/is a horrible person, did whatever it took for success and didn't care who he bullied and hurt in order to get there.

His story was a compelling one back in his day but I recall purchasing one of his books just before the noise level really cranked up the cheating across the sport and him in particular. Months later I gave the book to one of the OP shops

It's hard to work out exactly why someone did what he did but you would have to conclude there was a high level of narcissism and evilness in his actions. His defiance and they way he bullied others to maintain the lie speak volumes for the type of person he is

I won't be watching him

There wouldn't be much to watch on TV if they only made shows about nice people.

I went to Footscray West Primary for a couple of years before we moved out of the area. My cousins all went to Kingsville Primary as they lived closer to that school. (Wales Street and Kingsville strreet)

Kingsville was a really good school. Except for a couple of incidents with crazy teachers (but they were everywhere) I loved my time there and went to a reunion/centenary celebration a couple of years ago. It was awesome catching up with people I last saw in 1975. Lots of fun stories got told.

Had forgotten about the Lance Armstrong doco. Is it on Netflix or only ESPN?

I've watched a variety of different shows lately. Amazon Prime actually has some solid content, thought "Little Fires Everywhere" was OK and I'm halfway through Season 2 of "The Purge".

Thanks BAD. I watched it with my mum a while ago. The old girl (Footscray, not mum) just keeps changing.

I'm the only one of four generations that didn't go to Hyde street school. My grandmother, my mum and my kids went there. I broke the mould and went to Kingsville. I did go to Footscray High though.

I went to Hyde street year 7 & 8 Td. Long time ago.

Ha ha. Not quite. Just to set the record straight 1963 and 64 sounds about right Bad.

Mum was born in 1940 so must have been there in @ 46-51 I guess? I've asked her but she only says "I don't know. I've got more important things to worry about"


I was doing the school pickup one afternoon and while I was waiting I found a picture of the class of 1900 and something, 1908 maybe? Anyway I took a shot of it with my phone and showed mum who managed to identify her mum (born in 1900) among all the faces from a hand me down hat or item of clothing she had been given almost 40 years later! They knew how to mend stuff back then.

It was a great school in it's day and closely related to the best footy club going around too. Probably still a great school.
