But double barreled surnames are usually when people get married and don't want to take one surname. So they combine them to have both. I guess traditionally it would be the woman keeping her name as well as taking her husbands but these days it's either or. It's nothing to do with being a bastard.

Paddywhack Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 I couldn't care less about what name people decide to take when they marry, but the double barreled system isn't sustainable is it? What if Oxlade-Chamberlain and Loftus-Cheek decide to marry and combine their surnames? A few more generations down the line and this country is going to sink due to the weight of all the surnames! 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VILLAMARV Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 Quote Made In Chelsea star Ollie Locke is changing his name to Locke-Locke when he marries Gareth Locke Surely, the joy of marrying someone with the same name is no extra paperwork? Made In Chelsea star Ollie Locke is planning to double-barrel his surname when he's married... despite his fiance having the same name. Speaking about the engagement in the new issue of Hello! magazine, Ollie revealed he will become Locke-Locke after their marriage. He explained: "We are going to be Locke-Locke. I like the idea that his family and my family will be joined together." https://www.mirror.co.uk/3am/celebrity-news/made-chelsea-star-ollie-locke-13338934 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevo985 Posted October 4, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted October 4, 2018 How can movies that weren't filmed in HD/4K then be restored or upscaled or whatever word you want to use to HD or 4K? I've just noticed that Taxi Driver is on Netflix... in HDR/Ultra HD 4K How? That film is 40 years old. I don't understand how the quality can be increased so far as to make it 4K? Genuine question. I have no idea how that's done. I watched Se7en the other day and again was amazed at the quality, despite it being 20 odd years old. It was absolutely in high definition.

It's something I've not really thought about before, then the other day I was thinking "Hang on..." Pretty much, a single frame of a 4K film is about 9 megapixels. A single frame of 35mm film, whilst it's not an exact science and they can't really be compared like for like, is roughly equivalent to 20 megapixels, Even 16mm film is roughly 10 megapixels a frame There is still a long way to go to catch up with film, they aren't quite up to 16mm film yet EDIT: And then imagine big budget films were often shot on 70mm (approx 40 megapixels a frame) 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, then they can combine their names to Oxamberloek and move to the Netherlands. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the reason if you watch oasis music video "d'ya know what I mean?" - the definition is absolutely incredible and looks like it was filmed in 4k in 1997 lol. Watch it, it's like going back in time 20 years with today's best cameras. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
