JESUS CHRIST FENTON

In all seriousness their generation won’t have heard of the video & ours will have forgotten it

PennyB40 · 07/06/2019 18:39

I would think instantly of the Fenton’s Procedure I had for my chuff. Good as new now though Grin

MrsCatnip · 07/06/2019 18:36

Dog in Richmond Park, definitely my first thought, sorry.
Though it also means spring / fountain / well in Cornish.

LittleDoritt · 07/06/2019 17:22

OH JESUS CHRIST.

boobleboobies · 07/06/2019 17:14

JEEEEESSSUS CHRIST!!!! Love that dog! 😂

Yogagirl123 · 07/06/2019 17:10

I like it OP

pontiouspilates · 07/06/2019 17:06

Yup, it's the dog in Richmond Park for me too!

Onacleardayyoucansee · 07/06/2019 17:03

Fenton sounds like a prison.

Cosmos45 · 07/06/2019 16:43

Dog video was the first thing I thought of too.. Best laugh ever..

BishopBrennansArse · 07/06/2019 16:39

JESUS CHRIST, FENTON!!!!! 😂

DappledThings · 07/06/2019 16:38

Yep, it's the runaway Richmon dog for me too

Whatareyoutalkingabout · 07/06/2019 15:22

Hahahahaha I haven't thought of that video for so long and this post reminded me and made me laugh so much, so thank you! Off to YouTube it now! Grin

Reallybadidea · 07/06/2019 14:51

@RuffleCrow

You're thinking of Kenton. It seems that thoroughly middle-class Jill Archer was a fan of yoonique names back in the day Grin

MikeUniformMike · 07/06/2019 14:45

How about Burslem or Etruria?

FizzyGreenWater · 07/06/2019 13:42

I did also think of the brilliant dog video but thought it might just be me!

Grin

I think that this thread clearly shows that no, it is not just you.

Show your DH, yes, yes do Grin

FENNNNNTONNNNNNNN OHHHHH JESUS CHRISSSSST

fluffiphlox · 07/06/2019 13:09

Also there was a pub called The Fenton in Leeds. At least there’s was decades ago when I went to university there.

Quintella · 07/06/2019 13:06

Immediate thought for me too is 'FOR GOD'S SAKE. FEENNNNNTOOOOOONNNNNNN'.

GreigLaidlawsbarofsoap · 07/06/2019 12:59

Feeeeeeeennntooooonnnn! 🐶🐶🐶🦌🦌🦌GrinGrinGrin
I would def opt for naming your next dog rather than your next child OP Wink

PrincessScarlett · 07/06/2019 12:43

Fenton the dog!!

Ninkaninus · 07/06/2019 12:40

Yes I immediately thought of that video.

RuthW · 07/06/2019 12:38

Fenton's procedure is a female operation. That puts-me off. Sorry.

MMama18 · 07/06/2019 12:22

My only association is the repair surgery I had to have of my episiotomy, it’s called a Fenton’s procedure

MooBaaLaLaLa · 07/06/2019 12:16

I like it, there's a character called Fenton on the radio show, Two Doors Down (Not the same as the tv show with the same name) and I've always thought it was lovely.

ThePhoenixRises · 07/06/2019 12:11

I like the name and incase anyone is wondering Fenton update here
