Long-running bollocks postMy parents went to a New Years party in Alderly Edge, (posh place where footballers live), 5 years ago and have been back every year since. When they got home from the first one they told my brother, (the biggest Man U fan in the world), that they had met David Beckham and got his autograph but that it had got thrown away when the tables were cleared. They told hime the same story the following year, and then the year after that they phoned him from the party to say that David Beckham would be calling him to say hello around midnight. My brother then went round the whole party we were at, telling everyone that he was going to get this phone call, which of course never came. My parents said that he had tried to call but the network had been busy. I knew it was a wind up and went round telling everyone after him that he was a fantasist. This was 2 years ago and he only found out about it last week.
