    Burlgars tend not to advertise where they're hitting next ;)

    Exactly, she is talentless but fame and a bit a money puts you in a position where you get easy success.

    Yeah but then he added to it, probably became the bigger of the two. I don't think either would have achieved what they have on their own.

    I think she had access to the better publicists and promotional management through her media work but he had the better skills full stop. Let's face it, her solo music career says it all.

    Ever thought of writing a book?

    I am writing a book but it's a novel based on some of my experiences, it would be too complicated to mention real people who might not be too pleased.

    It was a mate who invited me to the Beckham's on Friday, he's the resident security there and they weren't expected until today, if they actually showed up as their plans often change. Me and Mrs Smug were once double interviewed for their place in Provence so knew him from there and kept in touch.

    Sadly I had to bin the match yesterday with flu and missed another mate, Dave Fairs, who was security for Kings of Leon, etc ...

    ... Great lad and big Sunderland fan.

    Off to the Beckham's again on Thursday.

    The mate who's there seems a bit lonely hence him inviting me again. I suspect he'll be 'home alone' there at Christmas which isn't nice but, sadly, part of the job. We've invited him here but he can't leave the property unattended. We can't go there because we need a good Christmas after having a stinker confined in France last year.

    Being on someone's staff has benefits but there are some bloody lonely times when they're elsewhere.

    Enjoy the time spent with your mate fella. Sounds like a dull gig he's got at the Beckham's so hope they are paying him well.

    Having a fantastic place to yourself, with a pool etc, sounds great but his wife is working on a yacht so not even in the country.

    He's from the Keswick area so no mates and he can't invite his family to stay there over Christmas.

    He's a tough nut so he'll be OK but there's only so much fun to be had on your own.

    Time enough for the two of you to have a good catch up mate. Enjoy.
