Discussed this with a friend the other day and we both concluded that in Asia, more people know Beckham than Bush. How about elsewhere? (US and Britain excluded) ---

Eh, it’s the Bushmaster. I doubt there are very many people who know who David Beckham is but who are completely unaware who the President of the United States is. On the other hand I would bet many, many people don’t know who David Beckham is. Plenty of people don’t follow sports. ---

Thinking about this, I would suggest a large majority of males below the age of 20 or so worldwide (North America excepted) fall into this category. ---

I am available to “comfort” posh. (If the missus will let me). Am I alone in finding her quite acceptable? ---
