Well one million a week...he will be eating baked beans on toast from now on.

He might have to share meals with Posh.
I can just see them fighting over her baked bean (two when she binges).

I noticed that story it was broken by David Gower during the tea break at Lord's. He was an arrogant so-and-so when he was young, a precocious talent indeed but after his incident with Diego Simeone(?), who let's face it made a real meal of Beckham's tap on the back of his leg, Beckham grew up and became more than just a footballer, becoming an Ambassador for London 2012 and opening his own academy. Brand Beckham certainly made it's mark thanks to Victoria and having four kids helped his image too, as well as posing in his underpants. He could still be a player but perhaps the body is saying enough is enough and good luck to him in whatever he does. I am pretty sure sooner or later he will receive the ultimate accolade-a Knighthood.

Hopefully this hasn't been covered in any of the previous 1,566 pages.

I have never heard of the app "Bang With Friends" until this week when it made the news rounds for being a slight possibility of being found out. That may have been the best advertizing this little known app probably could have ever received. The value of the thing probably just shot through the roof.

For those not knowing what is "Bang with Friends" it's a facebook app where you select which of your friends you would like to have sex with. It's anonymous and unless your friend selects you as well. If you choose each other a message is sent and then well, you hook up, I guess. More info: http://www.huffingtonpost.ca/2013/05...n_3253198.html

Now it appears that loads of people are using this app to simply find out which, if any, friends are actually interested as curiosity. Which seems kind of counter productive if two friends are both merely equally curious to see and nothing else cross paths.

But still, you can't buy advertizing this good. Makes you wonder if they leaked this intentionally.

And, what would the dead giveaway be if you already knew someone ?

Two when she binges, but unlimited if she purges.

Ah, finally nice weather has arrived in Maine! 76 degrees F (24 C), clear and sunny. I am already feeling a bit of sunburn on my bald head, after only an hour outside.

Nothing less than the three bean salad, Nina, Pinto, and the Santa Maria.
