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!

I love this city!!!

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.

Wtf is with everyone ripping it out of Tallaght today?!

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.

actuallylike · 09-10-2009 4:48pm

Right, away for the weekend so I'll leave you with one more beauty, apparently this fellow thinks Mercedes are very peaceful!

Crotchety · 09-10-2009 5:20pm

I must ring up about the dubel apartment. I've got the number there thanks. 087 7....etc. . . .

Why didn't you cover up the phone number?

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.

DubMedic · 09-10-2009 7:37pm

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.

Crotchety · 09-10-2009 8:57pm

Some druggie did a sh it in the fountain eh!

I saw a fishmonger on fishamble st today.

Sofaspud · 25-10-2009 2:54pm

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.

Stench Blossoms · 05-04-2010 3:30pm

Saw this in Dakota

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.

I think when you ring the number he just boasts about it.

Don't know what to make of this, I love it though!

Dj Stiggie · 07-04-2010 9:33pm

I used to have a great pic on my phone from Boots in Liffey Valley

They were moving stuff around at the time and the entire Cadbury display was under a giant "DIET" sign

supersheeps · 07-04-2010 9:44pm

The fishmongers on Richmond St. had a sign in their window for ages advertising positions for "fish people"...Always made me giggle...

admiralofthefleet · 07-04-2010 10:00pm
