    Spend a lot of time walking around Dublin to college and friend's houses so started to keep my eyes peeled for nice little oddities. Started to see hundreds that I would normally have missed so started to take pictures, I'll put up a few here but please follow on with any gems you've seen!

    Jaysus I remember that, thought it was the two kids and the grim reaper holding the kid's hand who's on the right making three people? It was a classic though, freaked me out as I was only 6 or something.

    Don't know many around Dublin (I'll keep my eye out in future) but I've a great picture of a street sign in Edinburgh.
    I'll post it when I can get it onto my laptop.

    Sorry! The sign for Tallaght (as you headed West after Hueston) had "is gay" graffitied badly under the huge Tallaght letters, always made me smile.

    No picture. But whilst passing through the city centre today, I noticed that the water feature on College Green appeared to be using chocolate milk, instead of it's usual clear water.

    There's a sign on a wall near my college in Dun Laoighaire, that says "No Signs", used to have a pic of it.

    My brother was in a casino in town before, and in the bathroom, somebody drew an "anarchy" sign on the wall.

    Anarchy fan in a casino, strange concept.

    Certain of my "aquantances" used to touch up the men at work sign wherever they saw one.
    A big hooked nose would be drawn on the man along with a mohican and steam would be drawn onto the shovel making it look like he was shoveling shiit!
    I dont know how many signs were altered in this way but it was going on for years.

    Reminds me of a toilet door I once saw where someone had scratched in an advertisement for their tool hire business.
