Be Prepared - the Beckham's are heading your way!!!
« on: January 12, 2007, 05:10:06 am »
When I say 'your' - i mean for the Americans of the pack...

Sexy Footballer Player and HUUUUUUUUUUGGGGGGEEEEE celeb David Beckham is joining the LA Galaxy Football (Soccer) Team in a deal worth $US275million over 5 years!



He is intending to make you Yanks enjoy watching adult soccer as much as you do baseball or american football.... (I understand its a very popular kids sport at the moment with you guys - and sunday league for adults?)

This means Posh Spice Victoria is also coming your way and no doubt she will be seen out in town with her new bestfriend Katie Holmes a lot!!

This is HUGE news in the UK at the moment.

I have heard of both of them.  Are they Scientologists?  Just asking because of Katie Holmes being married (?) to a famous Scientologist.

No - but they are friends with Katie and Tom - and Posh was at the wedding. (David had football on the day but was at the pre-wedding run up) so it might not be long until they are! *groan*!

Amazing!    That is about $1 Million US Dollars a week!   

If you break that down to a 5 day work week, and 8 hours a day, that is $25,000 US dollars an hour!

I know - its ridiculous isn't it.. $417 a minute, $7 a second

He's being managed by Simon Fuller (who incidentally as well as the brainchild between the Idol format - also managed the Spice Girls) who has brokered this huge deal for him.

Posh is also said to be brokering huge deals in the US currently.

Yes - he's pretty hot and there are some FABBY pictures of him around.. once I#m home and can search I'll post ones of him in his whitey - tighty swimming trunks!

Course, this is more appropriate considering his new contract.   Sitting pretty indeed!

And what does he do? Run up and down a field and kick a ball around.

Sorry to sound cynical, but I sometimes wonder about the priorities in this world.

No more out of whack than what CEOs make in a year.

I recall 10+years ago when the Travellers Insurance company announced it was closing the Observation deck on the Travellers Tower here in Hartford.   The CEO said it was because it cost $30,000 a year to operate it.   

It was quickly pointed out in an editorial that the CEO Sandy Wiel <spelling?> was making about $500 Million a year in salary and stock.     The Tower stayed open.

While I don't agree that Beckhams salary is justified, he will at least break a sweat while working unlike the CEOs who most likely never work an 8 hour day.  They probably don't work an 8 hour month!   

Another time I was working for National Car Rental as a service agent.  (car washer)   I had to deliver a car to the Travellers Tower parking garage.    I saw a long line of shiny new Lincoln Towncars waiting by the exit door.  a dozen or so cars, all with drivers waiting.    I asked what the cars were for.   I was told they were there to drive home all the Vice Presidents.   It was 2 pm.    Nice eh?    Fat salary, great hours and a chauffer driven car to your house.     And the insurance companies cry poor and give us crap about paying out on claims.
