Am I David Beckham?

[OllieMartin]

A few months ago, I was walking down my street and a small lad (about 8-9 years old) asked me if I was David Beckham.
I'm similar on paper (tall, short hair, stubble), but otherwise I look nothing like him...sadly.
So I responded "no" and carried on walking.
Now, every time I see him he asks if I'm Beckham, to the extent that he now runs over with a pen and asks me to sign his arm!
I got bored of trying to convince him that I'm not and today I even signed his arm, and his friend's who's also decided to start asking along with a few of the other kids on the street. (although I refused to sign his T-shirt for fear of angering an unseen parent).

I'd try and convince him that I'm not Beckham, but I'm not totally sure that he really thinks I am anyway, I think it's just a game.

It's partly confusing, partly funny, partly complimentary!

You should show him your balls skills- that might convince him?????( bet you're brill so it won' after all!!!)
Nice compliment though- as you say!

obviously not.. he can use words like 'complimentary' 'responded' and 'otherwise' in sentances.
As these words have more than one syllable, it proves he's not a footballer.

Meeeooow, you never know, Ollie could be the exception to the rule..

Meeeooow, you never know, Ollie could be the exception to the rule..

Rule No. 12: If there's a rule, Ollie's the exception to it (except rule No. 12)

Were you wearing that dress at the time mate? Thats probably where the confusion arose

[ginger ninger]

Explain rule No.12 then..... David.

My friend's little girl pointed at George Alagiah on the TV the other week and said "there's daddy". Now this could be a lot worse, after all he's a respected journalist, however as her dad is white we suggested that they took their girl to Specsavers!

You'll have the whole school on top you of before you know it lol!
