David Beckham Running Out of Real Estate for Tattoos

David Beckham has fed his addiction to ink, the Sun reports:

"The new marking on his [inner] left arm is a biblical proverb written in Hebrew. It reads: 'My son, do not forget my teaching but keep my commands in your heart.' A source revealed: 'Victoria doesn’t think David should have any more tattoos and tried to stop him having another. She likes his tatts but wants a bit of his skin to be left, yet David went ahead with it anyway. She is worried he is hooked and she doesn’t know where it will all end. He is a very healthy bloke. He doesn’t smoke, barely drinks and looks after his body very carefully. But his addiction is tattoos. So while his insides are as clean as a whistle, his outsides are quite the opposite.'"

London Chaplain Peter Mullen Clarifies Sodomy Tattoo Remarks

London chaplain Peter Mullen has written a column in The Northern Echo clarifying remarks he made recently that gays should be tattooed with sodomy warnings. He calls it an apology.

In a column entitled "Why I was Wrong", Mullen says: "To wit: I was not criticising individual homosexuals. I have never criticised them. I number many homosexual men and women among my dearest friends. I voted for the Homosexual Reform Act of 1967; and I would vote for it again today. This Act specified the decriminalisation of homosexual acts 'between consenting adults in private.' 'Between' means two. 'Adults' meant 21. 'Private' means in the bedroom – and neither Hampstead Heath nor public lavatories. What I do oppose – on the authority of the Christian faith – is the corrupting influence of the promotional parades of homosexuality by such as Gay Pride demonstrations. And that is what I was satirising."

He adds: "One might say that what was once a mortal sin is now only a lifestyle choice. And the love that once dare not speak its name now shrieks at us in high camp down every high street. This situation is what some homosexualist campaigners constantly claim under their doctrine of 'rights'. It is the reason also that they are so annoyed with me – because I repudiate their 'rights' argument – which is in any case not Christian but secular."

The Tattooed Prince: William Wants to Get Inked

One of Prince William's military pals told UK tab The Sun that the future king was interested in a massive back tattoo:

"Lots of the guys onboard sport tattoos. It was obvious William was fascinated. He asked how painful it was and wanted to know what they thought of his idea for a tattoo across his shoulders. We didn’t think he was serious — but he said he was keen to get a large tattoo like the one David Beckham has. He said the only thing stopping him was his girlfriend. He was worried she would think it was a bit too chavvy."

Surely her majesty wouldn't approve.
