Guest Steven Dedalus Posted November 17, 2007 Report Share Posted November 17, 2007 Those pictures are great.If I had a camera (and, indeed, if it was still there) I would post a picture of the inscription "Sex is Gay" that some wag has written in the lift of the Seamus Heaney library in Queen's University Belfast.Or the words "Bono Shat Here" from the Trinity College toilets in Dublin.Or the bit of graffiti in the toilets that used to be in Ma Camerons (before they tarted it up) which was a long and rambling note from a feller from Edinburgh who was advertising his services for the ladies attention, and underneath, someone had written "Why did you write this in the men's toilets, you bawbag."It made me laugh.Because I am purile.

Guest Bob Posted November 18, 2007 Report Share Posted November 18, 2007 "Why did you write this in the men's toilets, you bawbag."Maybe the kind of lady he was looking for would most definitely be hanging around in the men's toilets.

Jamie Posted November 20, 2007 Report Share Posted November 20, 2007 My favourite in Aberdeen and I hope it's still there, was along Carden Terrace, toward Queens Cross, which simply saidCock n ballsThen there was the one on the bridge over to Froghall -CELITC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stichman Posted November 29, 2007 Report Share Posted November 29, 2007 Last week I was in Barcelona, and in the toilets at the Sagrada Famillia someone had inscribed "Gangsta Lyf. Live Fast. Die Young.". Quite why this "gangsta" had paid 5 to see some of Gaudi's fine architecture, he didn't mention... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lepeep Posted November 29, 2007 Report Share Posted November 29, 2007 But Stripey is right in saying that it speaks volumes of the "underground 'culture'"...but, he'd also slag off any "good" graffiti ... because it's "probably" a copy of something he's seen before...or a similar style or...you get the picture.Moral of the story? (Keep everying you do to yourself, and no one can say anything (good or bad) about it - OR... only dish stuff out to people that you know, and will only tell you what you do is good).It's the way forwards to an open, honest and vibrant underground....cul....ture....oh..hold on.. no it isn't!

Bigsby Posted November 29, 2007 Report Share Posted November 29, 2007 I think Stripeys post was really funny.Me too, that's Laurencekirk isn't it? I noticed the chip shop one myself when I was there a while back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pierre Von Mondragon Posted November 29, 2007 Report Share Posted November 29, 2007 I always considered Laurencekirk to be the first/last toon in the NE, like the Last Homely House, but not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Cynic Posted November 29, 2007 Report Share Posted November 29, 2007 The sperm which made me came from Laurencekirk...it is a sacred place for me. The sperm donor occasionally regales me with tales of the guy who owned the chipper in the 1930s....Lou Cabrelli, I think it was.I have happy memories of going into 'the Economic Stores' to buy cheap packets of cowboys & indians.No graffiti is good enough for the lang toun of Conveth!

They didn't play an impromptu gig or anything else of note really, they just stopped for a piss or something, and that's enough for a cracking story.
