There’s a triple barrelled just down the road.

Kevin Van-Veen-W@nker.


The wife was going away for a girly weekend.
I jokingly remarked  'I don't know whether to spend it watching porn or watching football'
'you may as well spend it watching porn' she replied
That's understanding darling what makes you say that? I asked

She said 'Well you already know how to play football'

When did this trend start? When I was a kid anyone with a D-B name was quite obviously a posh snob from the nose in the air classes. I realise that foreign players may have other reasons but why do we see so many British people and therefore players with D-B names now? Is it just a fad and fashion or is there a point to it?

Yeah it was something associated with the old amateur clubs.  All the Bufton-Tuftons playing for the Casuals etc. Wasn’t the original reason that those with double-barrelled names were bar stewards and couldn’t inherit the family estate?

Seems to be the last thirty years that it’s gone ‘down’ the social structure. Became a more middle-middle class thing in the 80s with feminism/female empowerment (which is a bit ironic a woman not adopting her husband’s name but keeping her father’s, so still patriarchal). Then it seemed to grow.


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.
