Strange graffiti

Hello internetizens,

Can anyone help shed any light on this for me ...

For the past couple of years I have been noticing scrawls on the walls around Tralee, examples of these are Beware of Tesco, Caution of Tesco and Tesco black and tans.

Now I had presumed this was just someone with a issue with Tesco, or maybe the fact that they were a foreign/multinational chain.

But over the weekend I spotted Garveys for beggars

Anyone have any ideas ?

Graffiti in this country is mostly ****e...And generally badly written too.

I'm more concerned with the male genitals drawn on the road signs heading out on the Listowel road. I'm sure it's something to do with the Da Vinci code.:eek:

Not a clue.

I see the band Lineage get their name written all over the town also though.

Looks like the infamous Towel Dick 13 gang are coming to town.

They've got balls, I'll give em that.

They must have had more time when they were approaching Kilflynn, because they went for the giant size.

RiderOnTheStorm · 18-09-2012 4:43pm

noone going to quip on the well written 69 on the top of the sign? surely that has someting to do with the Towel 13 too? lol

Sorry now lads, the penis device graffiti is very common and it genesis is well understood, can anyone shed any light on the anti supermarket writing ?

Someone unfortunately thinks that Tesco has occupied Ireland for 800 years and sent the Black and Tans here because people weren't buying enough groceries.

kingdumb · 21-10-2012 10:44pm

this on the wall by Seancara...

kingdumb · 21-10-2012 10:47pm

That's what I thought too but the 'Garveys for beggars' one destroys that hypothesis, Garvey being a local chain.

yours plexlexed etc.

When this roadsign is unearthed in 3,000 years time, hmm yes..this appears to be a phallic symbol, possibly fertility rites were once carried out in this place called 'Listowel'.

That makes sense, I saw some guy in a trenchcoat with revolvers and a big beret working the tills t'other day.

Spotted this on Milk Market lane

Corkbah · 10-02-2013 8:53pm

most likely reason is its a code for beggars .... telling where is good to operate and where there is a higher chance of getting caught/moved on !

ejmaztec · 10-02-2013 11:25pm

I'm tempted to correct the spelling, but knowing my luck I'd get caught and done for the whole feckin lot. I'd then get banned from Tesco and Garveys for life, which wouldn't bother me too much.

I'm just disappointed that we don't see the classics anymore

"i love sex in bed"

And the critically acclaimed

"sex in bed is good"

They must have lacked imagination.

The classics that I remember are the lavatory wall variety

"the future of Ireland is in your hands"

or the one usually written high up on the wall above the urinals:

"while you're trying to read this you're pissing on your shoes."

scrawled underneath would usually be" P O'B loves E O'B",or something to that effect, lots of love going on within th"O'B" group, if you knowhaI mean;)

Spotted these about town recently, the 'G's look similar to the supermarket ones...

JAMES VTI S · 20-10-2013 8:17pm
