    Not personally but one of his poxy signs came of a lamp post on Ballsbridge bridge and lunch time and clipped me.

    It then flew across a couple of lanes of traffic. Lucky no accident occurred.

    In the age of social media and other outlets are these things needed? Such a poxy waste

    Did you send a text to newstalk (I think it was) if not someone else got a thwack in Dublin during a gust of wind this morning.

    Gona email andrews and see what he says

    He'll tell you that you'd have got a much worse whack if it was an FG or a Lab poster.

    I already had to see the smug mugs of himself and Murphy too many times walking around Rathmines this morning.

    Would love to find out how much money is being wasted on these posters by all parties.

    Normally I would not advise this, but seeing who it is I would say sue for emotional distress and bodily harm.
    I would say your first demand should be for 85 billion. ;)

    I am not allowed discuss …

    Didn't he have a 60s hit with 'Yesterday Man'? So this is what he's reduced to now. lol...

    Nearly walked smack into one of his posters last night.

    He has put them up in a ridiculously irresponsible way.

    I would have thought that would have felt more like a slap from a wet fish.

    At least it is in keeping with their tenure in government. ;)

    I'd give him your number, if I was you. You never know when you might want to call in a favour for Late Late Toy Show tickets.... :D

    Heard on the radio this morning a printer in North Dublin say the posters cost something like €4.50 +VAT each.

    Cheap, they're not!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,092 ✭✭✭paddydriver


    Any of them gonna think to take down the fookin cable ties this time around?

    If you look at the lamp posts of Ireland you will see quite a collection of cable ties building up on them now. They just come along and rip down the posters and leave cable ties on the pole - some at eye height!

    Why's a pop singer from the 60's putting up signs at thwacking level all over Dublin?

    And the east europeans putting them up are getting 1.50 per poster.

    Obviously!

    Just listening to the Right Hook on Newstalk, it sounds like every Chris Andrews poster is rampaging across Dublin South East.

    Except for this one

    and this one

    Richard, Leo and all the others thought the same, but he soon put them back in their place. ;)

    I reckon there will be a few environmentalists who will need a job after the election, they can be hired for the clean up. :D

    The solution to all our Election Poster problems can be found on this old boards thread.

    Saw Mehole Martin flying out in front of a car on westland row today..ah if only


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,324 ✭✭✭Alter-Ego


    They're all over the place. Seen 6 today and I was only out for an hour. Thomas Byrne was giving head to a hanging basket earlier.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,630 ✭✭✭steelcityblues


    Do these TDs listen to weather forecasts?

    Fairly obvious from yesterday that strong winds were approaching, in the Dublin area at least, and instead of waiting for it to subside - they act like impatient monkeys to be in a rush to get theirs up first -and on every lamp post.

    Already seen three posters fly onto major roads, but luckily in one case the cars had stopped at red light,and the other two came apart before a vehicle was in close proximity.

    Not to mention, they mess up the view of some nice spots.

    Scrimping on cable ties!

    Silly politicians!
