Writing Quickly
I'm going to see if I can write 400 words in 30 minutes about something in the paper.
All couples probably quarrel to a lesser or greater degree. Some of them have nannies. A select few have their fights splashed across the tabloids by the nannies for a few pieces of silver, or £300K, whichever is the greater.
This week it was Victoria and David Beckham's turn. I haven't actually read what the Abbie Gibson told The News of The World, and have no desire to. The Daily Telegraph seems reluctant to repeat the story, and instead reports on the reaction of the couple. This makes it interesting from an academic viewpoint. The planet Pluto was discovered by inferring it's existence from the way the other planets near it had incorrect orbits otherwise. I have to try and work out what the nanny said by listening to what David's defence is.
Speaking at a football press conference, David repeatedly states that he loves and respects his wife, and that they are happy. So I guess the exact opposite must be the allegation. He does admit to arguments.
So the facts before me are that a bad singer and a good footballer, who have been married for few years and have kids, might be having a few marriage problems. Wow, that really was worth the cash wasn't it.
Right, that took 20 minutes, and it's not really very good, and it's only 200 words. I'm petering out at the end there and vainly trying to find a point, or think of something amusing to say. Maybe it's a bigger problem as I honestly don't care what the Beckhams get up to in their private (or public for that matter) lives.
Will try again tomorrow if I get the time. Interesting experiment though.
