She made her money before she met Beckham, through her own talent.

They called her "Posh" spice because she was from a wealthy family. Used to get dropped off at school in a Rolls. She was already rich.

Thanks I didnt know that. How long have you been a fan? :wink:

The minimum pitch dimensions for an international match are 64 x 100 metres

So you'll have to learn the proper meaning of "football" and the metric system at the same time. Should be fun

Outside of those minimum dimensions, what is the other criteria for the shape of the field?

Secondly, do you call it the penalty area, or "the box"?

So I watched the Victoria Beckam show last night. (I was bored). She came to the US to find a place for her family to live in LA. There were a lot of weird things about the show. One, she was funny and witty even if perhaps a little stupid . Two, while they were looking for houses for her to buy, she made a long rant about the pool/patio being a death threat. There was no railing and there was a several foot drop and a steep decline below that. The house she ended up buying seemed to have a more precipitous drop and still no railings. Three, when she went to get her 'family' from the airport, the footage never showed their kids, just her and Beckam and the paparazzi.

David probably left them behind..he's not the sharpest knife in the drawer.

cj football pitches vary in size, a rectangle 90 to 120 metres by 90 to 45 metres.

The correct name for the rectangular area in front of goal is the penalty area.

But most people say "box" as in "no penalty, he was outside the box"

You got it - the word "rectangle" is the key. The pitch has to be longer than it is wide, even if only by a few inches, that is the FIFA rule. FIFA also hates it when people call it "the box".

Anyway, back to the topic. She's awfully skinny, but she does have a heck of a set of headlights.

I saw at least five more attractive women on the way to work this morning.

I think we've gotten used to calling her attractive, since she always had the rest of the Spice Girls around to make her look better.

Gargamel,

When I raise my hand, does it count if I only have my middle finger showing?

I'm giving Beckham a pass for now, in that the galaxy played better (so I read) when he was in there. (I didn't follow him before, so I've no clue re his history, except that I gather he is in the waning phase.) The celebrity stuff is a compost of old hats for me.

I bet you were crying when David got hurt yesterday Lezzles. His leg was broken, but being brave he carried on.

Only one leg? Of course he'd carry on - he's a Pom, isn't he?

It has been bugging me for days now, ever since I first read this thread, and I have only just remembered the name.

There was an absolutely brilliant UK comedy series (circa 1999) called Alistair McGowan's Big Impressions in which he and his co-host Ronnie Ancona, did wonderful impressions of the Beckhams at home. Talk about rolling about on the floor laughing! Anyone else remember it?

yes really very funny. David's all right but he's not exactly razor witted. But then he doesnt pretend to be, and he doesnt have to be! (Although there was a university prof who offered a course in footballing skills of Beckham which he equated to the mental ability of Einstein.... Laughing

)

Which reminds me of a joke. David and Victoria arrive back in London from NYC. Cab driver asks if they had a good time, where did they go

David said they had a great meal in a restaurant

Where was that?

David: "Railway station"

Cabbie Liverpool Street? David No

Euston?
No

Paddington?
No

Victoria?

David...thats it

"Victoria, what was the name of the restaurant in New York".
