:DInspired by joe soaps thred about stealing election posters.....

When i was in my collage days (19) my fella was also in the same collage as me, I was going through my "beer mats on the wall" phase.

Was out in the club one night and stole a "no smoking sign" from the loo, then the next week there was a sign on the door saying "The condom machine is out of order" so i took that(looked so funny on my bathroom door":D

So fess up What posters or signs have you stolen from nightclubs?

What he said.

The Queen

A sign off the toilet door saying "It only takes one sperm, use contraception" Can't find it now though..

Also went through a phase of stealing no smoking signs, had about 20. I had a very exciting life as a teen...

they should of thought you how to spell college in "collage". Saying that, the "10e entry fee" one is always worth a knick at the end of a night.

I dont steal.

Theft is bad. Being a crusty student is no excuse for it. For shame.

one of my friends robbed a handdryer out of a pub bathroom to give me as a birthday present.....at least he put thought into it i suppose

I wouldn't mind getting Mordeth ossified, purely so that I could bring him somewhere secluded and shear everything above his shoulders.

Thank you, that mistake always irks at me.

I dont think I've ever taken much from a club, maybe a shot glass here or there.
What is there to take really?

I have a reserved sign somewhere.
I remember how funny it was going round with it on my head screaming about how reserved I was.

I miss being so young and easily impressed.

(Well spotted Clay)

That's still wrong!!!

"should have taught"...(as corrected above)



We should have a grammar forum....that would be fun, wouldn't it? Perhaps not.


Anyway, once robbed a lollipop lady's lollipop from her hiding place....now that was funny!

i stand corrected

In my drunken student days I went through a bit of a phase doing this. Plenty of road works signs, pub signs and so on. Strangest one was probably part of the roof leading up the steps into the old fibbers beer garden which is now gone. For some reason I really wanted it. Always fun walking out of the pub with huge pieces of contraband. Know a bloke who in 2005 after Liverpool won the champions league took his bar stool home with him. We sat in the same seats the whole tournament that year and he reckoned it was the honourable stools that gave Liverpool the power to get 3 back against Milan in the second half. A couple of games in the PL we sat in different seats and the Pool lost :eek: . My favourite was a really cool ashtray from dakota. Had it for years afterwards.

I've since grown out of it though. Stealing is wrong kids, no matter how funny it is.

Have a number of gig posters for gigs I've been at, including an A0 sized one I've no wall space big enough to hang it on...

ha reminds me of that night i stole(ie- it fell off the wall and on to me) a giant liverpool flag- i wrapped it around me and walked home- amid lots of beeps from car horns its still draped on my bedroom wall

ya i dont do it anymore but back when i was a little un it was dangerous :rolleyes:

flanum

erm "a friend of mine" robbed the door handle from Toast pub in rathmines, the one that looked like a bronze/silver handprint.

student days i robbed a "pipe laying in progress" sign and of course hung it on the jacks door.. hilarious indeed.

There is a minority chuch next to the Luas line in Ranelagh. They used to have a LED display sign on the front. It is reputed that a UCD student stole it on a drunken binge.

Yes, he got a sign from God. :pac:

whatsgoinon

at a gig in limerick one night, the band were selling signed posters, I just pulled one off the wall and asked them to sign it, saved myself a whole €3.:D

Defenestrate

There's a lot of thieving reds in after hours it seems, you wouldn't get that from the blue half of Merseyside. For shame...

i know ur only joking..

But i hate ppl that steal a mans pint in a night club :mad:
They deserve to be taken outside and publicly raped

The words deserve and rape should never appear in the same sentence without bollix, chop and off.:mad:

I've always found the funnest thing to do is drop a few dissolvable laxatives into your pint...

leave the pint down where it can't be disguised for anyone elses.. just make sure you don't drink it yourself.

On Paddy's Day, we found a random sign in some alley so we decided to take all the letters. If you were at the ceili and saw all the random letters, that was us. We gave most of them away. I still have the C though.

im_invisible

when i was over in scotland, in the clubs there was always nhs sponsered posters, got one saying something like 'passive smoking kills' and another one saying 'if you've taken one of these "E", take one of these "taxi"' i like that one, tho i havnt had the balls to put it on my bedroom wall yet

robbed a few 'no access' and 'scaffold incomplete' signs off sites, a few roadworks signs aswell

seriously uncool.

Only have the one that is advertising something called "Teenage Bad Girl!" n my room. And I'm still a teenager in college, so no paedophelia here! Added ina a nice Awwwwww Yeah! underneath it for good measure aswell actually.

Someone else who lives there took a sign that says "Scoffolding Erection in Progress". Anyone guess where this is going?*

Traffic cones, roadworks signs...always good to take. They the norm, but not in a while for me!

*No, you wont win anything for guessing correctly

Jay P

Not sure about signs, but me and my brother stole two of those really big mugs from Starbucks in Birmingham a few weeks ago. Good times, but I'm sure they have wanted posters all around the place now though:)

Loopy

Never stole any signs from a niteclub but yrs ago stole a big gold 'E' from the signwriting of the local Solicitors (on the way home from a niteclub). Any parties I had I would ask if any wanted an E and would produce it..

mate nicked a pub outdoor red bull table with umbella stand in it with 2 high chairs... how he fitted it into a polo ill never know...

truecrippler

One of those rubber things that they lie the pints on before they give them to you (In some pubs). It was a Bulmers one. I rolled it up and tucked it under my arm. It was soaking wet. Seemed like a good idea at the time. Have it here infront of me.

brid_m

I'm still in college, so this list will more than likely grow in a few months

Traffic cone, all types of those guiness rugby signs and banners, coolers light stuff, a bertie ahern election poster, vegas circus sign, "caution men at work" sign, an rte raincoat (don't have a clue how i got it!), various beermats, one of those rubber mat yokies they put pints on, different glasses, a strike sign from some builders that were on strike outside my college... and thats all i can think of off hand!!

I stole a painting from Eamonn Dorans once. It was at the bottom of the stairs. I felt a bit like snake from metal gear solid. I was watching them, figured out they're patrol routine. Waited for my moment...snatch took the painting(A lovely countryside number if a remember correctly). I then put my coat over it and ran like the wind.

life_is_music

my most impressive steal would have to be taking 2 bar stools from the same pub in one night but they wern't the big ones to be fair.

I also have signs saying:
"Don't even THINK about smoking in here"
and
"The Lemon Tree Pub"

I got a massive metal sign for a water park in Crete too.....

My favourite would have to be robbing shot glasses!!!!

Whoever took the life buoy is an asshole

BubbleWrap85

I stole a timetabley yoke for a homeless people's shelter....from a homeless type man........I didn't mean to! Felt very guilty ever since!!!

Ended up having a few 'No to Nice' posters in the living room after a night out.

Nothing myself, but a friend still has a bin he stole from xtra-vision about 10 years ago.
Walked into the place on the way back from the pub and just walked right out with it.
Funny at the time in a 'you should have been there sort of way'.

I know another guy who once had a load of bins and HB ice cream signs from his local newsagents. He had about ten in his back garden.
He really wasn't well.

I walked out one morning to fid a load of bunting from the Confey GAA hanging from the front of my house and draped on my fried's car.

I'd seen it when I was going into the house the night before, but my drunken mind told me that the neighbours must have been having a party.
