Election Posters: They're just so darn steal-able!

MrJoeSoap

Walking home after a few scoops, hang on a second, isn't that a secret stash of election posters??? Dear diary... Jackpot!

I now have (as does a mate) a poster of a Fianna Fail, formerly independent, member adorning the walls of my room. It is a male member, so its defo not something sexual... or is it?

Tonight was a success. Please explain the logic in 200 words or less.

Dave!

1. where did you get an election poster? I'm not aware of any elections approaching... Left overs from the general election? If so:
2. you saved Fianna Fáil a fine!

Look at your hand, palm towards the face. Now raise your hand into your face with a swift motion.

Cool, I had a 'Slow 10 mph Loose Chippings' sign a few years ago but haven't stepped up to election posters yet. What a rush! *breathes heavily*

Maybe the fine increases with the time passed and he's planning to put it back up next election to bankrupt them?
Cunning :pac:

Truth be told, and given the forum you moderate you may not appreciate this, I was dying for a leak after leaving the pub. I went down to a quiet spot in the village, made a load of noise to scare the cats/rats away, and saw a cat legging it away to the left... straight by an election poster (of a local politician who happens to be my hero, a guy who I've seen cycling a young girls bike in circles in the village at 1am on more than one occasion). I called my mate, who also has a special fondness for said politician, and we squashed the two posters into the back of the Dessies car and off we went.

Oh, very clever. I won't fall for that one... again.

Literally, and I swear on everything I hold dear...

I used to work about two kilometres from home. When I finished work, usually about 11.40pm, I would call down to a mates house for an hour or so for a chat and whatever.

Anyway. Twice (two Saturdays in a row), I was cycling through my village after coming from work via a mates house and I saw my local independent councellor cycling in circles, on a girls bike (pink, wicker basket, etc...) just off the main road in my local village. It freaked me out the first time, but strangely it felt kinda relaxing the second time.

I 100% swear that the above is true, not a religious man so wouldn't swear on the G-man.

Dont be at yourself

Of course there's nothing sexual about having a giant male member or two in your room.

MrJoeSoap, how on earth did you resist just pishing on the girlie-man and be done with it?

It was away in behind a load of bins, was quite the struggle to even pull it out. And yes, I do mean the poster...

I remember we had a few election posters during a local election .Anyway we cut the faces out and made masks, then when the opposition candidate came to the house canvasing 3 of us arrived out wearing the mask and screaming at him. HE was very shocked but then started laughing and walked off. Greatness!!

Been there, I've got the best election poster ever hanging on my wall! Its from the 2002 local elections and its this independent guy who never got elected. But in his poster he is wearing a trenchcoat, tophat, glasses and has a tash! He looks like a private detective or something... I've never seen a funnier election poster!

Why would you want a picture ofsomeone from Fianna Fail on your wall?

Pics or it didn't happen

Meh... I've got a traffic cone with which I thought I was playing guitar with whilst walking home with my iPod playing in my ears.

in my teenage years, we used to rip down every poster within a mile radius of where we lived, the best being the huge roundabout ones that you could run at full speed straight through . One of my stupider mates was firing the small ones around the place like frisbees, he stopped when one went about 50 feet vertically in the air and came down on the back of his neck whilst trying to duck. ouch

I've got one of those "Not cleaning up after your dog takes a **** will get you a 100e fine" posters on the wall of me room. Im quite the drunken klepto actually, I also left for work one saturday morning after a particularly drunken friday, opened the front door all blurry eyed and fell head first over a garden chair Id left directly outside the door the previous night, looked up and there was two hanging flower baskets on the lawn, buh.

One of my mates has a bowling ball he took from the Blanch Leisure Plex when it used to be 24hour.

Election posters are great for insulation! FACT! That and using as sledges when it gets snowy... but you've got to be a hoarder if your going to keep a general election poster that long!
