Cheeky Girl
‘WHOS that blonde kissing David Beckham in the Mirror? Why, its none other than Julie from Suffolk, planting a smacker on the footballers cheek as he leaves a London eatery.

The paper looks on as Julie, in town to celebrate her 38th birthday, threw her left arm around Day-vids neck and had him in a grip he could not get out of.
As an eyewitness says: Victoria did not say a word but her frown said it all. Says an onlooker: Victoria had a face like thunder. She was fuming.
While football watchers wonder what would have occurred had middle-aged Julie been armed with a bomb, or thrown herself at Wayne Rooney, the Mail notices something odd in the Beckham car.
As the couple left the restaurant, and while Julie was attracting the attention of the Mirror, Dave and Posh, the Mail peered into the Beckham motor.
And it noticed how the Beckhams have had their own coat of arms, the one commissioned for their wedding in 1999, stitched onto the leather headrests of their luxury limousine.
For its readers aggrandisement, the paper reproduces the family crest, which shows a white swan sitting atop a crown. Beneath hangs the motto Love, Friendship.
As with modern football, the Beckhams have steered away from the old Latin mottos in favour of a language that can be more easily understood beyond the Latin confines of the Catholic clergy and prep schools.
But not all is modern and voguish, and William Hunt, an expert in matters heraldic at the College of Arms, says the design is bad. The use of letters and numbers hasnt been done since the Middle Ages.
And those letters? Why, a V followed by a D, naturally fitting for any royal seat…’
