    Billboard?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,670 ✭✭✭Doc


    I'd call it an "Advertising hoarding" or "Billboard"


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7 Yakumi


    Billboard i quitte general. Im looking for those billboars with one pole.
    Is this something you see in Ireland or not? In Holland for instance you see tons of these things next to the highway but in Belgium they never heard of them :)

    WTF is a Highway? We call them SuperBothareens.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,513 ✭✭✭Sleipnir


    I would imagine they don't have a name and are simply called
    "Bilboard's on large/high poles"

    Did anyone else notice the UFO in the sky?

    Yeah. it's there alright.

    By gum but tangents isn't a word for it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,396 ✭✭✭✭Karoma


    is this a really bad joke?
    ("what do you call a sign with one pole?")


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,808 ✭✭✭Badly Drunk Boy


    Did ye hear the latest joke?

    De stilste airco ter wereld? I don't think so...:D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,890 ✭✭✭embee


    Im gonna go out on a limb and suggest that maybe it is a photograph..........


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,598 ✭✭✭ferdi


    dont mind him, this guy is obviously stoned....and who can blame him with the selection he has access to....oh yes.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,828 ✭✭✭ven0m


    TOO MANY JOKES....CAN'T CONTAIN ..... MUST TRY.... OH TO HECK WITH IT...

    "I'm sorry Stevie, your mommie says u can't go out to play with Ray today......"

    I think it's called a sign & I think you either need to leave off the space cake - WALK AWAY FROM THE CAKE WITH YOUR HANDS IN THE AIR!!!! WALK AWAY.....or else you, Ray & Stevie all belong to the "I don't know if I got tens or fifty's club"......


    NEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEXXXXXXXXXXXXTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!

    No we don't have billboards here! :rolleyes:

    It's a fúcking billboard. End of story.

    If you think we're comedians you should see the Government.

    I agree with Paul88, the guy asked for the answer to a simple question not for ****ing comedy lessons.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 329 ✭✭Walter Ego


    Ok Ok

    I have driven the length and breadth of Ireland on business and I have never seen any sign approaching the scale of that one. It would be a billboard. The largest we would have would be advertising hoardings of the "Dave Allen" Type. Sometimes illuminated but most often not.

    BTW did you hear the one about.......


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7 Yakumi


    Well guys,

    Thanks a lot, that was all i wanted to know.

    Enne Paul88, Nederlander?

    I'd react the same way if i asked aload of foreigners a question and i got the same reponse. Some of these nerds will take any opportunity to try make a joke because they're usually about as humorous as stale bread.

    Cop the **** on, be helpfull or get bent.

    You're not gonna last long here.
    Within the first 3 replies, users pointed out it was a "BILLBOARD"

    After that the thread went into comedy mode.

    In response to Yakumi rolling his eyes at our humour and asking if we had "these things" in Ireland, I responded sarcastically with "No we don't". Fair enough, not so large, but a billboard is a billboard.

    I then attempted to close Yakumis further probing by confirming that yes it is in fact a fúcking billboard.
    Jesus Christ like!!! It's a bleedin billboard. So no need to call me a ****ing spastic. When three people tell you the answer to a question, do you KEEP ASKING?

    I didn't think so.
    All this over a fúckin billboard :rolleyes:

    I wanted to know what those large billboards are called, thats why i kept asking or probing as you call it. I'm doing some research for a company who maybe can produce the masts, so thats why im interessed in those large ones.

    Now i think that there are two possiblities. Or there are no producers of the billboards or the goverment has forbidden them, right?
    Anyone working for the goverment?

    everyone chance noone has thought of it yet. Planning permission is going to be your major obstacle for these I'd imagine.
