The people you see above you are David and Victoria Beckham. They sure have aged fast, haven't they?
Anyway these two west Belfast fools - who changed their names in 2003 by deed poll (I have no idea what that is) from Gerard and Elizabeth Donnelly to David and Victoria Beckham in honor of their heroes - have been forced to board up their home and install CCTV cameras in a desperate bid to keep vandals away.
All the ground windows at the front of their Tullymore Gardens home - which proudly displays a plaque with the house name Beckingham Palace - have been smashed and the couple are so worried about further attacks that they said they will not be removing the wooden boarding that is currently securing the house.
“We are like prisoners in our own home and the house is almost in darkness but we can’t take the chance of removing the boards and getting the windows smashed again."
Ever since the couple hit the headlines in 2003 when they changed their names to David and Victoria Beckham they have become mini-celebrities across the province.
The Manchester United fans don't believe they have been targeted because of their football preference or their well-documented love of the Beckhams. They say they're victims of a major anti-social behavior problem in the area. Yes, I believe that anti-social behavior is called "making fun of losers."
Anyway, I'm not sure I feel worse for, the couple, or the vandals who haven't managed to chase these weirdos out of town yet.
