My favourites are the ribbon ones that remind us to look at women's breasts.

I always wondered about the bull thing. Mind you, it never bothered me enough to post about.

Still, every day's a school day!

No, Donegal Catch.

You need one of them to park in their car park - if you don't have one, you get clamped.

The next question:
Why do so many people want to tell the world they've been to Spain?

It's a big thing with motorhomes, the idea is your vehicle has been there rather than yourself. My dad had one on the jeep for ages, it looked rather awesome white on black actually..
Y'see it on German motorhomes a lot, there's also an elk for somewhere norwegian, not sure which..

I don't do gimmicky stuff, so where do you suggest I tape my Routex invoices from nearly every country in western Europe on my car for the same affect :P

The mother has the bull on the back of her her. Almost perfectly hides a dent, great little thing.

I remember a lad who had an Izuzu Trooper with a big square Hawaii sticker on the boot door, big massive rusty hole behind it.

Are these really so the emergency services know to look for a baby in the event of an accident? Most of the ones you see have no kids in them, so they could be spending dangerous minutes looking for a child that isnt there. I never really understood the logic...

You'll find your answer here somewhere: http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2055321447&highlight=Baby

Lets not start that debate again, I remember that thread for the shear amount of **** some posters spouted.

Anyway I would image that those bull stickers and the likes are handy for covering marks and small dents etc. Can't say I've taken much notice of the bull ones though.
