Gordon Ramsay's at it again. After the turkeys and his two adorable piggies, Trinny and Susannah, he now plans to rear a flock of lambs only to then slaughter them on his Channel 4 TV show the F Word.
Unfortunately for Gordon, however, the garden at his Wandsworth pad in south London, where he brought up the birds and pigs, isn't quite big enough for the sweet little things and so he's asked his celebrity pals Victoria and David Beckham to accommodate them on their 25-acre Hertfordshire grounds instead.
Posh, a "devout" vegetarian, and Becks agreed with pleasure, failing to realise that the little lambs weren't in fact Gordon's pets but rather his future dinner. Lady Becks is now allegedly "horrified and distraught" to have learned the lambs are to be slaughtered and very angry with Gordon indeed. (Not that angry though it seems, as she managed to take her mind off things on a 12-hour trip to Paris during which she spent £70,000 on shopping.)
The People for the ethical treatment of animals (Peta) have now got involved too, urging Gordon to spare the adorable little creatures' lives. Peta Europe director Poorva Joshipura said: "People are rallying to spare the lambs Posh grew to love. With soy 'lamb' kebabs and marinated mock meats, everyone wins, including the animals."
No doubt Gordon's going to love that!

Horrible news concerning David Beckham. Hope he has a swift return to full fitness.

This post made me laugh, since I reside in Australia and till lately, did not own a auto possibly. My housemates have been all in the exact same boat, but we had been all too proud to buy a trolley simply because in our suburban area its regarded humorous. But in the inner-city Melbourne suburbs they're all the rage! Anyway, as somene who has been within your situation, I sympathise!
