Don't know if anyone watched that Channel 4 doco on Lance Armstrong ....
I watched it. He was most unpleasant.
What I found fascinating was his language - constantly manipulative and overly intimate. I was very impressed - in a horrified way - that he had incorported "point scoring" into almost every sentence he uttered. And he uttered them with such huge cojones that people found it hard to resist playing his games.
Part of me is almost jealous that he is able to do that. I don't think he's repentant at all - again, based on his language patterns.

J Westland - very much up your street.
