I have been exploring the outside world. Today I discovered that in some quarters (outside the Beckham home) Brooklyn is considered a suitable name for a small child.
When the young Brooklyn I encountered today grows up, I daresay he will be insanely grateful that David and Victoria did not call their firstborn Twatface.
Are you insane?
I think he's been babysitting...

I wish. It actually happened. I had taken my children to the Gulliver's World theme park in Warrington (the theme being grand larceny, if the prices are any indication) and heard a mother call "Brookie, Brookie!" A small blond-haired boy appeared from the sandpit. "Come on, Brooklyn," the mother implored and off they went. Astonishing.
Did you call child services?
Incidentally, zooo, I'm listening to David Tennant on the Jonathan Ross podcast even as I type.
I heart you.
(Well, if you're enjoying it that is.)

No, I didn't, but it did cross my mind. That poor blond-haired child's face will live with me forever. I'll definitely recognise him when they show his picture on the telly after he's committed mass murder.
On the upside, that would probably spell an end to the use of Brooklyn as a given name. You don't hear of many Adolfs or Myras these days, do you?

I am enjoying it, but not to the extent that I'm unduly bothered by tumescence.
It's never a bother when it's caused by David.
They're talking about Sir Ian McKellen's willy now.
Oh yes. David's never seen it.
Apparently Jonathan gets his out quite often too.

It does help when you want a wee or you get wet trousers.
I do wish Jonathan Ross would stop pretending he's not a sci-fi geek.
Men are so vulgar...
(We do our wees by magic.)

You know, Chappers, you make a fair point there.
