i for one is in agreement with martinflynn, the rubbish they create for a start, plus it is helping to make the place more trashier looking, why not create spots where they can be erected for a fee, plus a nice nasty fine when they are erected in an unotherised site, the people of the city have to pay for the clean up, why should john citizen have to pay for these peoples advertising, the sooner we realise the old adage there is no such thing as a free lunch the better, we have enough trouble paying for clearing our own rubbish without paying for other peoples.

Hello. I am being kept in one of the circus cages against my will. Them nasty russian forenners say they are going to feed me to the lions as the highlight of the show. Can someone help me please and rescue me? It would break my poor mothers heart if her ne'er-do-well son ended up as a lions dinner. WON'T SOMEONE THINK OF THE CHILDREN??

Won't someone think of the dictionary? :rolleyes:

I understand the fine for illegal posters is €150 per poster.
They could be fined by the council and if/when they abcond they could be made pay the fine next time they are in town.

badboyblast

english please

martinflynn

they should be fined if anyone local done this there would be up roar over it

to the posters who seem to have qualifications in english lit, would you not be better off trying to reach the level the likes of mc court, o brien, et al or perhaps outdoing their achivements, rather than dwelling on the spelling of those of us who do not have the privelage of your education, or make spelling mistakes because of medical reasons, the subject of this thread, not the spelling mistakes of others should be the subject discussed, spelling mistakes grammer etc can be discussed in a seperate thread.

DO YOU KNOW - our taxes pay for all of the circus going around the country.
They are tax exempt because of artist tax and get part of a grant from the department of arts & tourists.

What's your point?

Call out to them and have a chat with them about it Martin, the manager is a really nice guy to deal with, and I'm sure he'll love your feedback.

here's the guy you're looking for

Look mate I'm not having a go but could you please break your posts up into smaller sentences? Couldn't keep track of that lark at all

Just because this is an internet forum some people think they can throw up absolute slop (not saying that post was slop flutered but it was offensively illegible)

I thought for a min when people started chatting about
Posters on Lamp posts and clowns that we were in the middle
of another election.

No they don't pay for all the circuses, they may be tax exempt or even get grantrs but they certainkly dont pay all the overheads.

Off thread I know but this thing where if someone spells something wrong on a internet forum he gets jumped on ( and it happens in all forums not only here ) is terrible.

If a person spells something wrong big deal you know what the word was meant to be this is not school it is meant to be a place of fun

and regards the circus I dont mind the posters been up what I do mind though is they are a rob went there the weekend myself, the GF and 2 kids cost us 50e to get in then had to pay 3e each for a candy floss another couple euros for face painting and pictures spent the bones of 100e there , thats a bit much they should give discounts for a family ticket

iden

nobody seems to no anything about circus on this thread,their not russian,they are irish,they just make up a new name every couple of years.ye have little to do giving out about the circus,its only once a feckin year and the kids love it,its part of growing up.if ye had to pay to go to mass nobody would go

Circus? If you want to see Wild Animals, thrills, death defiance and acrobatic stunts just go eat a Smokey Bacon Burgaaar outside Supermacs any Saturday Night.

- Limerick, where fast food may actually kill you.

iden

if the fast food doesnt kill ya,the people of limerick will
