tamaranthNot sure if today was another migraine or just general ill-health. (I got to the Migraleve in time) Not sure it has stopped yet, either; have spent the evening on the futon, and have now woken up for the first time all day. (Yes, I was at work).
The BBC, I see, are eternal optimists: reporting on the defacement of a photo of David Beckham (some sort of sports personality, I believe), they write:
The words "Beckham and Meier, you loosers" were also scribbled on a wall opposite a picture of Pele.
[...]
The misspelling of 'losers' may have been a reference to Rebecca Loos, whose claims of an affair with Beckham made headlines earlier this year.
Actually, I'm afraid I have to apply Occam's Razor* and say that the misspelling is more likely due to ignorance. Where's the spell-check when you need one, huh?
*'cut the crap'

Hope you're feeling better today...
