David Beckham is a simple man. This week, he disclosed that all he wants in life is to have his wife, Victoria Beckham, snaffle a few chips off his dinner plate. Sadly, Becks says this is impossible as Victoria has eaten the same meal every night for the past 25 years.
She only eats grilled fish and steamed vegetables,” he said. Then he recalled the happiest night of his life; when a pregnant Posh temporarily deviated from her eating regime and picked at his dinner. “It was the most amazing thing,” he added. While I am pleased Becks is reframing food scavengers — like myself — as everyday heroes who enrich the lives of others, I feel for Victoria. Nothing but steamed fish for a quarter of a century? Posh, both you and Golden Balls deserve better.

A rogue robot vacuum cleaner ‘made a break for freedom’ from a Travelodge
Tired of the mundane predictability of life? The BBC reported that a rogue robot vacuum cleaner ‘made a break for freedom’ last week and escaped out the doors of a Travelodge in Cambridge. Staff had been distracted and the vacuum, which had been cleaning the lobby, decided enough was enough, and bolted. The story gained traction online with readers rooting for the little vacuum that could and imagining it living the high life with Hetty the Hoover by his side. Sadly, it turned out the robot vacuum hadn’t gone that far. It was discovered a few days later looking a little worse for wear, under a nearby bush. We’ve all been there.

Josh Wardle has sold his Wordle game to the New York Times
And so Wordle, the word-a-day guessing game, has been sold to The New York Times for a seven-figure sum. The news was met by fans with mixed emotion — some congratulated the founder, Josh Wardle, for his success and others complained that he had sold out. News outlets speculated what was next for the once humble word game. Website Mashable predicted an ‘inevitable’ movie franchise. It said this could come in many forms; an animation similar to The Emoji Movie, or a thriller starring Nicolas Cage. Perhaps a rom-com is best given Wardle invented the game for his girlfriend. If it does take that format, I have the perfect title; Those Three Little Wordles. See you in Hollywood pals!

Potato milk has been described as a ‘crime against potatoes’
Forbes have reported that almond, oat and cashew milk are all soon to be usurped by another alternative protein trend — potato milk. “Low in sugar and saturated fat, it’s set to dominate coffee shop menus in the coming months,’’ it said. The reviews of the milk have been mixed. While some have commended its creaminess, others have said a sup tastes like a “crime against potatoes”. Not the most appetising tagline.
Royal Mail looks to weed out staff who ate hash brownies
The UK’s Royal Mail has launched a formal investigation after employees unwittingly ate a load of hash brownies that had been lost in the post. The edibles were left unclaimed at a depot, and proved too tempting for peckish postal workers who decided to tuck in. The probe was launched after a video emerged allegedly showing some staff so high they were unable to work. It seems strange they didn’t figure out the brownies were laced with drugs. According to The Times in the UK, the box they arrived in was labelled “Edibles — by Pablo Chocobar”.
