I was able to open it without any problems.

Difficult to know where to start to comment, innit? Except that on a purely superficial level, I find it staggering that someone of Armstrong's wealth could pay a friend/acquaintance a paltry $3,000 a month to do everything for him bar wipe his a**e (at least it doesn't say that was one of one of his duties). :shock:

Oh, you meant THAT link. :oops:

Personally I was really quite moved by Armstrong's touching gesture of leaving business class for a few moments to take the time to talk to Anderson and his wife in economy, having nixed their request for an upgrade. Was probably just to remind them to muck out the stables.

I see what's happened.
The whole download url isn't linked. The last bit of the address "(1hr12min).mp3" is unlinked.

Just copy and paste the whole address into the address bar of the browser:
i.e. everything in the quotes:
"http://www.competitorradio.com/shows/47Competitors-GregLeMond-08-22-06(1hr12min).mp3"

Thanks for the heads up on this interview, Marco.
It's absolutely fascinating to hear Lemond talk about his training and stuff and hear his opinions on current performance levels


Cheers!

That's a chilling read. The only thing you can blame Anderson for in hindsight is not signing a proper employment contract.

Might have to listen to a Bob Roll interview to cheer up!

Rule Number One of creating your own business: don't name it after your son. The poor kid is accused of being ruthless to this guy and if the complainant wins he deserves to be sent to his room without dinner.
