A couple who've changed their name to David and Victoria Beckham claim their lives have been made a misery as a result.

 

David and Victoria BeckhamThe pair say they've become prisoners in their own home - but its not the paparazzi that are keeping them holed up in their very own Beckingham Palace.

 

Their tormentors are teenage thugs, who have been attacking the property in west Belfast, Northern Ireland.

 

David said of the yob abuse: "It's been going on for the past couple of years. They were coming around and throwing eggs and stones at windows."

 

But last month, the anti-social behaviour became more sinister when thugs attacked their sitting-room in window in the early hours of the morning.

 

"A big ball of ice came through the window," said David. "They must have made it. It was like a football".

 

 

 

Victoria had been making a cup of tea in the kitchen at the time and David says the outcome could have been worse if she'd been in the front room at the time.

 

He added: "She could have been hurt. It could have hit her in the head and knocked her out."

 

The Beckhams reported the incident to the police and the housing executive.

 

The couple's front windows have now been boarded up and David has installed CCTV cameras to keep their tormentors at bay.

 

The pair have become well known across Northern Ireland since they changed their names by deed-poll in 2003.

 

 

Pair changed name to match heroesBut they don't believe they're being targeted because of their celebrity status or their allegiance to Manchester United.

 

Sadly for them, it has upset plans they had to visit the Beckhams' old stomping ground.

 

"We were supposed to go to Old Trafford, but we can't get away because the boarding is still up and we're still waiting for new glass," said David.

 

David and Victoria are so afraid they'll be attacked again, they say that once their windows are fixed, the wooden boarding will be going back up at their home, which bears a "Beckingham Palace" name-plate.

 

"I hate not being able to see outside but I don't think we have any other choice," said Victoria. "I would just be waiting for the windows to be smashed again."

 

"I don't care. If it has to be done, it has to be done," said David. "As long as I get a bit of peace and quiet."

What a pair of clowns

 

I hope that they have been prevented from reproducing, the pair of tuppence lickers

More M?nichs from N.Ireland!

Could we not get Carrick to hunt them all down, round them up and then do unspeakable things to them?

I'm happy to take charge of hurting the famous ones.

FFS what a pair of deluded idiots. Words fail me....for once.

i hope they both have very little time left alive..

However thanks to Walkden Whites i have a 12ft Bolton flag attached to the top of my garage.

Jesus Christ almighty. They should be tarred and feathered. I'm not sure if there's anyone with the appropriate expertees in Belfast to be able to carry that out, though.

 

Usually the response to lunacy like this is to say 'I'm f?ckin emigrating,' but look around you. Off the top of my head from recent weeks:

 

In Sudan a man has married a goat and a woman was imprisoned for calling a teddy bear Mohammed

 

In Australia the new PM has apologised for something which took place when his great grandparents were probably middle aged

 

In Russia the President threatened to point missiles at Ukraine whilst the Ukrainian president was stood right next to him at a news conference

 

In Iraq terrorists use Downs Syndrome sufferers as suicide bombers

 

In Afghanistan a 15 year old suicide bomber took his vest off and threw it at his target, expecting it to detonate

 

So everywhere you look there is raving madness, the UK has no monopoly on it. So emigrate, if you wish, it makes no odds to me. But bear in mind there is no escape but the tomb.

Quaintly put Maggie, mass suicide pact anyone??

Plenty of expertise here

Even folk from the Loyalist communities support 'em.

 

Seen Munich flags for sale outside Ibrox for their benefit FFS. I just don't get it.

 

People say it because of Georgy Best well fook me, we should all support Everton because of Tommy Lawton then.

 

Is that Pablo's excuse?
