Just noticed this as I was driving over the bridge earlier, has it been this way for long? Let the war of paint for 2012 begin!

I literally couldn't think of one thing in this world I care less about but I really admire both parties dedication to it.

Well on the Kilkenny side it was always a group of lads mostly from Slieverue, they called themselves The K team. Presume it's the same crowd this time around...mad stories of paint shops in KK sponsoring them paint etc...there's a thread somewhere about it I think. Have to say I admire their dedication too! Sure it's only a bit of neighbourly banter!

Kotek Besar · 18-02-2012 06:16PM

It's back to blue and white now.

S28382 · 18-02-2012 06:40PM

isnt it great how something so silly can catch on yeah definitely gotta love their dedication, long may it continue its always worth a glance up each time you pass just to see what colours are on it...i bet there is some layers of paint on the rock now:D

longshanks · 18-02-2012 06:42PM

The daffodils are coming up, there's a grand long stretch of an evening, dolphins swimming off the Hook and the paint wars on the rock... Whats not to love about Spring in Waterford?

dark_shadow · 19-02-2012 01:34PM

I don't know how you get to the rock but from looking at it looks like you have to repel down with a rope or something??? Surely to jaysus it's one of the most stupidest things ever that somebody is taking their life in their just to paint a fcuking rock???

It's all fun and games till someone falls to their bloody death no??

Like you would say something if they where trying to get a valid point across eg. no to the household charge or something like that. But to go up there day after day just to paint the rock a fcuking colour is beyond me:rolleyes:

Fairly sure they come through a pathway at the back of the golf course.

What about rock coloured?

deise_boi · 19-02-2012 03:15PM

It's just a bit of banter really! I'd like our very own Hollywood sign towering over the city... except for when its painted that manky black and amber

But instead of a bunch of preteen kids we have supposedly mature adults.

You can walk up from the front too. Its not hard to get up there at all.

That's only 'cause they heard someone was going to paint the Union Jack on it..

tawdy · 07-03-2012 02:44PM

they should paint a union jack instead,
we be better off under british rule rather then those dopes who fcuked up the country.

ziedth · 07-03-2012 03:02PM

Be nice if they kept it with the tri-colour with the euros coming up and all.

Ya think !

Max Powers · 07-03-2012 03:08PM

Yeah there is a lil 1848 beside it too. Would be ideal if it was left like that.

You just know that once the Championship starts, it'll be a different colour every day!
