has anyone else noticed this written in random places around town?
this and "state-meant" (written twice, near each other)

its been bothering me for the last few weeks and only today did i find out what it was. (one of the rarer pieces of graffiti includs a website link)
http://www.manxproject.com

hopefully some of you know what i'm referring to and this isn't a pointless thread....

I was gonna post something as a thread starting with " WTF is this all about " .. i've been seeing these written all over town and some around where i live also.

Don't know when they popped up, but i first seen them around the time they did that Robert Emmett thing in Thomas St last year [ probably bears no coincidence though ]

erm , just realised this was post no. 666 *shudders*

Hey thanks for clearing that up - I know exactly what you're talking about. Was bugging me too when I saw it last Sunday on the way back from shopping.

Yeah, I've seen them a few times too. It's almost subconscious as you're walking quickly through town and a couple of seconds later, you think 'what did that say?'

I'm glad I know that now. I always pass by the one on Leeson St on the bus, but it's too quick to actually read it. Finally managed to read it last night/this morning as we were walking home from town (no taxis). It's a kind of a sad thing.What group is responsible for putting them up?

yeah blondie, is that beside the sugar club? saw it last night, but didnt actually figure what it was about cos i was just passing it...

Is it not something gov related, it looks very official

Yeah thats the one. I always thought it was some memorial thing for Irish volunteers whos died in the war or something. Must be the big harp and all the gold plaques

flogen · 18-03-2004 04:36PM

yeah... thought it as something like that too....
