Wish You Were Here = Greatest album ever!

But again I love every Floyd album except for the Ummagumma studio album and The Final Cut.

Apparently in the prison where Jerry Sandusky (former Penn State assistant coach + convicted child molester) was held in solitary confinement the other inmates just sang Pink Floyd's "Another brink in the Wall Part II" over and over again all night

"Hey, teacher, leave them kids alone!"

Yeah, have heard that inmates make a special effort to create a certain kind of hell for pedophiles.
Perhaps the only good work they do.

I just love it when you sleep a full 8hours, without even so much as stirring, and you still wake up feeling like you haven't slept at all. It's awesome :(

Nah, it's awesome when you feel like that then go back to sleep for another 15 minutes.
Wake up feeling like you've gotten all the sleep you needed. In 15 minutes.

Something to do with the stage of the sleep cycle you were in?

I have to leave for work at 7.15am and I put my alarm on for 6.30am. So it rolls around like I had only just gotten to sleep and I did, in fact, put my alarm on for another 15mins! But it just made it harder to get out of bed and now I was in even more of a rush. I got into bed at 9.55pm last night and don't remember my head even touching the pillow, I was exhausted. My husband said there was a motorcycle on our street at 3am making a whole lot of noise and I didn't even stir!

Although he deserves to lose his titles, why single him out? He wasn't the first to cheat, and EVERY single person that came 2nd to him in his 7 wins has been linked to cheating.

I don't like how he's being singled out by everybody when the only difference between him and the vast majority of his contemporaries (including almost 100% of elite contenders of that era) is that he was better. They did everything he did. He was on an even playing field with them, and he still did what none of them could do.

What? Convince everyone he was clean?
Falsely portray himself as a sporting icon worthy of admiration and make millions from it?
Be honest?

Pfft, couldn't even do that.

The cats out of the bag.
He's just another lying Merkin in tight pants.

This is what will put him in the history books as one of the worst drug cheats. Look at those ads he did, it's sickening. He and Ullrich were my cycling idols when I was young, and this year they were both proven as drug cheats.

It just sucks that we'll never know who was or wasn't on drugs. It's easy to say everyone was, and I'm not denying that it was rife, but there are so many racers I admired when I was young who to this day have never tested positive and don't admit to drug use. Really kills my enthusiasm for the sport when the stench is so strong.

The sport is morally bankrupt. No easy answer, and sad as it is to say, almost impossible to see a clean athlete being able to compete and beat the cheats.

So in your world the cheats aren't brought to justice and people's health will be effected by the drugs and its okay.

I could've lived with doping because everyone was.

But speaking out against it, bullying team mates to dope and running one of the biggest doping operations sport has seen? f**k him, absolute fraud.
