    Today both on the way to college and on the way back I noticed that the standard posters we see on buses had be turned around and vote No nonsense had been written on the back. One said along the lines of "A Yes vote will be your last, a No vote will mean we fix the treaty". I was wondering if anyone else has seen this type of thing on buses around the country?

    And if they did fix it by removing the parts people object to we'd have idiots going "IT'S 90% THE SAME!!!!!!!"

    Well, one thing for certain is that the moronic cretins behind said posters weren't heading in the same direction to you (i.e to college :)).

    I've seen a few awful hand written posters around Dublin City Centre recently, I don't think anyone will take them seriously though.

    I saw them on 46A and 75 buses. And I hastily took them down :)

    Is defacing refendum posters illegal? I was tempted once or twice.

    No if they're hand written illegal ones, I would imagine. It's really just picking up litter in that case.

    I suppose Dublin Bus could give out to me for removing their posters from buses.

    Reminded me of this. Some horrendous crimes against the English language from true born 'Merkins.

    The only difference between Corr and Coir is one letter.

    Yeah, but it would only be 85.5% the same as the EU Constitution.
