Livedwrong. I like that.
They're only £1.53 each if you get between 50-100. I so wish I had enough to get some, I reckon you could flog them on ebay for at least £4, possibly more.
All you'd need do is bell The Metro & you'd get instant publicity too.
I'd put money into that. I wouldn't even want profit. Just a few bands for myself at cost.
You should try a SCM whiparound.
£20 from me.
You lot will have a load of pro-Armstrong fundamentalists trying to kill you !
well if we're starting a SCM brand it needs to be on everythingWon't a logo just confuse things?
LIVEDWRONG kinda does the job. A few emails & calls to the media should do the rest!
Yep, all juiced up & angry too!

Nike Inc. NKE +0.23% said it is severing ties with former cycling champ Lance Armstrong, saying insurmountable evidence shows that Mr. Armstrong participated in doping and misled Nike for more than a decade.
The clothing and footwear company, which sponsored Mr. Armstrong and his former cycling team, said Wednesday that it was ending its contract with Mr. Armstrong "with great sadness." It added that it will continue to support Mr. Armstrong's "Livestrong" cancer charity, despite its break with the cyclist.
Mr. Armstrong announced Wednesday that he resigned as chairman of the Lance Armstrong Foundation, his cancer charity. "I am deeply grateful to the people of the foundation who have done such hard and excellent work over the last 15 years, building tangible and effective ways to improve the lives of cancer survivors," he said in a statement.
The Lance Armstrong Foundation has a contract with Nike to license the Livestrong brand for Nike's Livestrong collection of clothing, shoes and other merchandise. A spokeswoman for the foundation says it doesn't have plans to change its name.
RadioShack Corp. RSH -0.84% also said Wednesday it has ended its relationship with Mr. Armstrong. "I can say that RadioShack has no current obligations with Lance Armstrong," said a spokesman for RadioShack.
The moves follow last week's release of a report by U.S. anti-doping authorities alleging that Mr. Armstrong had doped and provided his former teammates with banned substances, including the blood-booster EPO, during his career as a professional cyclist.
RadioShack has been closely aligned with Mr. Armstrong since it signed a sponsorship agreement with the cyclist in July 2009. Last week, after the release of the report, RadioShack said it was monitoring the situation.
On Wednesday RadioShack said it "continues to be proud of what we've accomplished with our customers in generating more than $16 million to date for the fight against cancer."
I'll bet people still do support him, because they think his almost perfectly clean drugs test history means he couldn't have been using.
Is there anyone on the site that believes Lance is innocent?
We could ask them
Nike just cut ties with him this morning and he's stepped down as chairman of the Livestrong organisation. Not sure which came first.
Also, he's been deathly silent on twitter for about a week now - I don't use twitter, but those who follow him say that never happens with him. There are some whispering that he may be about to issue a full confession - Don't know how ITK these folks are though...
I couldn't give a shit about the drug use. They were ALL doing it. It's the unashamed lying and nastiness of it all that's turned me against this guy.
Which is very sad, because he's actually a living miracle who has done wonders in the field of cancer research and inspiring other victimes, etc... drugs or no.
Paul Kimmage, the Times journalist, being one apparentlyThey weren't ALL doing it though.
Some clean riders were forced out by those who weren't.
Lance Armstrong has been stripped of his seven Tour de France titles by the sport's governing body.
The International Cycling Union (UCI) has accepted the findings of the United States Anti-Doping agency's (Usada) investigation into Armstrong.
UCI president Pat McQuaid said: "Lance Armstrong has no place in cycling."
On what he called a "landmark day for cycling", McQuaid added that Armstrong had been stripped of all results since 1 August, 1998 and banned for life.
The Irishman, who became president of UCI in 2006, said he would not be resigning before adding: "I'm sorry that we couldn't catch every damn one of them red-handed and throw them out of the sport at the time."
Armstrong, 41, received a life ban from Usada for what the organisation called "the most sophisticated, professionalised and successful doping programme that sport has ever seen".
The American, who overcame cancer to return to professional cycling, won the Tour de France in seven successive years from 1999 to 2005.
He has always denied doping but chose not to fight the charges filed against him.
Usada released a 1,000-page report earlier this month which included sworn testimony from 26 people, including 15 riders with knowledge of the US Postal Service Team and the doping activities of its members.
Usada praised the "courage" shown by the riders in coming forward and breaking the sport's "code of silence".
Armstrong, who retired in 2005 but returned in 2009 before retiring for good two years later, has not commented on the details of Usada's report. His lawyer Tim Herman, however, has described it as a "one-sided hatchet job".
