Blu you could join a couple of her dresses together
I'm not sure a couple would be enough for me.

I don't think the boys are going to habs anyway. My first thought was that they would play rugby then not football

pawsnclaws · 06/04/2011 16:56

I didn't read that thread as being unpleasant actually - I read it as people saying, in response to a headline that said the Beckham children are going to Habs, as hang on a minute don't they need to pass an exam first? Sure there were one or two comments on it that were a bit Hmm but overall I thought people were nice about them.

I would be very unlikely to send my sons to Habs having had the pleasure of attending a talk by the Head. You may think your children are bright but are they Habs bright ... the best of the best ... blah blah blah. Not an attitude I can see the Beckhams with as it happens.

And that reflects the general feeling I encounter about them, seem nice enough, kids are meant to be lovely - very rare I see anything negative about them unless it relates to ill-informed crap about VB's weight.

The comments on the DM forum though - wow. Where to start .....

Blu - I would not fit into one of her dresses either Grin

Blu · 06/04/2011 17:27

If she sends about 10 for everyone who has stuck up for them, could I have one and a half?

2, maybe? I am a size 12.

kittya · 06/04/2011 17:30

Trust the bloody DM, they are all over. Mind you, they should have been here afew weeks ago when celebs were getting named and shamed all over the shop.

This place is riddled with journos. I bet Ms Jones is on it all night.

There was nothing in that article, I wonder who brought her attention to it?

strandednomore · 06/04/2011 17:46

I love the fact that one of the boys (the eldest?) is so normal looking. One of the others always looks like his mum has chosen his clothes. I can imagine the normal one rebelled at some point and just said No Mum I'm chosing from now on and I just want to wear trackies. Ok?!

I have a secret hope that the girl will rebel too and want to wear Next and M&S.

Sorry. Totally off subject.

ValiumSoltera · 06/04/2011 21:30

I saw that dm article on their website. Ridiculous and lazy indeed Ponders.

I'm sure posh didn't resond to the 'don't mind those nasty vipers' because she's in her amongst us and knows the reality!

kittya · 06/04/2011 23:34

It's not even true. Who made it up in the first place? They never get their facts right

Saggyoldclothcatpuss · 06/04/2011 23:51

Of all the celebs out there, the Beckhams are amongst the few I like. They market themselves very well. They generally keep fairly quiet and well behaved, and they seem like a lovely family. Those people who implied that, given their parents, the boys arent likely to be bright enough to pass the entrance exams, ought to be ashamed of themselves. The DM should also be ashamed of itself for the apalling interpretation it gave of the MN thread and the disregard it showed for accuracy!

kittya · 07/04/2011 08:28

It wasn't actually in the paper though, was it? It's the Dm that feels that way and they just twisted the thread to make it look like it was people on here saying it. From the hundreds of threads I've read on here re the Beckhams, nobody has had a bad word to say about them. I despise that paper!

ValiumSoltera · 07/04/2011 09:01

Kittya+1 I think posh is clever. She's quick-witted in interviews. I find her funny whenever I see her on tv. And you need to be clever to be witty, because you've no time to prepare 'wit'.

BalloonSlayer · 10/04/2011 18:12

If Victoria is on here, who is she?

I think she is LeQueen.

AlanTitWank · 12/04/2011 11:21

I remember one comment that was out of order but it was deleted. VB is likely to be low-key and quite witty when she does post.

scottishmummy · 12/04/2011 13:12

victoria should join mn.she'd love it.be anonymous and get stuck in.
so long as she wasnt conspicuously herself or braggy she could have heaps of fun

if you are considering joining do so,you chance to rattle tattle some words on a screen about others,not just yourself

go on, you know you want to

AlanTitWank · 12/04/2011 13:34

She's been on here for a while. Didn't she used to be Piathreetimes?

eatyourveg · 12/04/2011 14:07

ValiumSoltera are you VB? (not that you'd unmask yourself but just crossed my mind that you might be posting on here)

caughtinanet · 12/04/2011 16:10

It must be awful to read total strangers commenting about your children and family but the Beckhams have choosen a public life and it does come with the territory unfortunately.

I've only skim read the other thread but didn't think it was too hurtful, if you do post here Victoria I'd hide that type of thread and enjoy the anonimity that I'm sure you never get in the rest of your life.

exhausted2011 · 12/04/2011 16:46

I was on a thread not so long ago, about famous mnetters, and someone knew VB personally. There was lots of guessing about her username but Piathreetimes rings a bell
will try and see if I can find the thread!

scottishmummy · 12/04/2011 20:44

i imagine vb is impervious to idle tittle tattle after all this time.case of pick your battles, seat the big stuff eg allegations of adultery.ignore sniping eg where weans attend school

caughtinanet · 12/04/2011 21:13

I haven't seen the Closer article but I'm guessing she was upset about people speculating on how intelligent or otherwise her children are rather than simply where they go to school. You'd have to be pretty hard hearted not to be upset.

scottishmummy · 12/04/2011 22:12

or stoically and sensibly think words on a screen. high profile= a level of intrusion.these hacks write schleb tittle tattle because it sells.somewhere someone buys this stuff.

tbh,have no contention with brand beckham,at least they dont traipse their detritus about like Jordan for example.
