I find myself in the interesting position of having something that David Beckham wants. Now that got your attention, didn't it? The something in question is a completed model of the Taj Mahal in Lego, since, as it happens, I have one, while Becks' version is only half completed. Mine was given to me by a friend, who built it from scratch as a gift; Becks bought the kit in Milan, as he explained to fans during an online Yahoo interview. He was asked what he would like to do if he wasn't a footballer and said "I know it's not a career but I love doing it and would like to be a professional Lego builder". Apparently he bought his Taj Mahal kit in Milan, got halfway through (and it is a big, complicated job) and then got injured, so he never finished it. It seems that since his interview, sales of that model have rocketed; I wonder if the people buying it will get any further than he did? Here is a picture of mine, below, in case any of you feel inspired to get building.
