Nutty couple change their names and face the consequences

Meet the couple formerly known as Gerard and Elizabeth Donnely, who in 2003 had the bright idea of changing their names to David and Victoria Beckham. The duo from Belfast, who are dead ringers for their namesakes, found their little joke hilarious at first, but then things started to turn a bit ugly:

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.

“I bought and installed the CCTV cameras as well to try and keep them away. The cameras seem to be doing the job so far, so fingers crossed.

Victoria added: “I hate not being able to see outside but I don’t think we have any other choice. I would just be waiting for the windows to be smashed again.”

In all honesty, it’s probably for the best that these two nutbags can’t leave their house.
