"Loos on Becks and Sex"
Headline (Sky News, UK)
LOOS ON BECKS AND SEX
I knew that "Becks" referred to Beckham, a soccer (?) celebrity, and I was aware that something extramarital had gone on.
I had also heard that a "loo" is a room where one may use the toilet. Thus the headline made me wonder if people were writing things on the walls of public loos. You know "For a good time, call Sexy Becksy at (phone number)."
How disappointing to learn that "Loos" is the last name of the "other woman." A report of the writing on loo walls might have been entertaining.

It's "Beckham". (Confusion with Dennis Rodman Clinton, maybe?)
And no, Becks is no gentleman. A gentleman would obviously have spread a blanket on the bonnet of the Ferrari before
