A real all-star line up

I'VE JUST twigged why my mouth aches. It's not because I've had it in vocal festive overdrive or that I've munched through more than my body weight in mince pies ..... it's because of Beckham.

We tuned into Parky's last ever show over the weekend and I more or less smiled most of the way through it, apart from when Dame Judi started to croon a melody alongside a baby Grand.

First on was one of my favourite comedians. Billy Connolly does it for me. He is a God. I only have to look at him and it brings me out in a smile. Next on, and equally as comical as the Big Yin, was Michael Caine, followed by naturalist and broadcaster, Sir David Attenborough. I went to put the kettle on at this point, in readiness for the star of the show who was waiting in the wings to wow me. And wow me he did.

David Beckham. Oh David..... my hero. I watched him with a grin from ear to ear. Some ten minutes into the interview, I was aware I was being watched, only to be prodded by a novelty backscratcher that lives on the bedside table. "Take that stupid smile off your face" I was told .... I was brought back from dreamland and wiped the dribble that had started to form in the corners of my mouth.

I went on to imagine what Christmas at the Beckham household would be like .... David, Victoria, Brooklyn, Romeo and little Cruz, all sitting around their designer table, clad in designer gear and eating designer sprouts. I bet they managed to get hold of a Nintendo Wii in time for the big day.

Many frown upon the Beckhams and the lifestyle they enjoy. During his interview, David reiterated time and again how the money was not important to him. It was his love of football and family that was of paramount importance. Call me gullible, but I actually believe what he said .... I would believe ANYTHING that came from such a gorgeous, handsome mouth though.

Personally, I won't have a word said against the Beckhams, even if I do get lockjaw as a result of watching them. I am a die-hard fan, always have been, always will be! Sad eh???!
