I'm not going to lie to you, the only reason I'm writing this post is because I was threatened, BULLIED you could say, in to doing it by Hattie. To be fair, it has been a while and for that I apologise. So, at the risk of making Hattie thinking she can influence my every waking moments, here it is. I haven't really thought it through because I was rushed, so this may turn out to be rubbish.
I've just been watching Sky Sports News. David Beckham was on it. He's in Glasgow at the moment for some reason. They had footage of him signing autographs, and I'm sure, nay, almost CERTAIN, I heard a fan say ''David, you're better than Maradona! And Bob Geldof..!''. The more I think about this the more likely it is I misheard, but I choose to believe it happened.
What a fantastic endorsement. Not only does this person rate Beckham, a footballer, higher than Maradona, one of the world's greatest ever footballers, but he also thinks that Beckham, a footballer, is better than former lead singer of the Boomtown Rats and political activist Bob Geldof. I cannot for the life of me see the reason why Geldof has got involved here whatsoever. But I love that he has. This could catch on for me;
''Wayne Rooney - better than Pele...and Nicholas Cage''
''Michael Jackson - better than Marvin Gaye...and Linda Barker''
''Bourbon biscuits - better than custard creams...and former Labour leader Neil Kinnock''
This is probably one of the greatest ranking systems ever devised.
There Hattie, ARE YOU HAPPY NOW?

God I am so influential.
In answer to your question, YES I am happy, because you bowed to my forceful persuasive tactics, and also it was a funny post. Especially the Linda Barker bit.
However I am NOT SO happy because there is a typo in the last sentence. And also because I SHOULDN'T HAVE HAD TO REMIND YOU IN THE FIRST PLACE, SWEENS.
Hurrah! I'm so glad Hattie nagged you, because I was toying with the idea of doing the same and she’s saved me a job. IT’S NOT LIKE I DON’T HAVE ENOUGH ON MY PLATE.
Anyway, Tim McSweeney – better than Steven Fry....and Patsy Kensit.
Ha! KENSIT. What IS she for?
I've fixed that typo now Hats. I spotted it this morning and it infuriated me...then there was your comment, picking up on my faults yet again...
She was right.
