Quite creative I think. I especially liked the crossing out and replacing of "Thank" at the bottom.

Although the vandal presumably missed the irony which is that it was they who fked off.

You're giving too much thought to graffiti.

I always do. I practice on the kitchen wall before I even go out tagging.

The correct answer to being asked "How are you?" is to reply "Well, since you ask...".

I like to answer. "A bit st, to be honest. But hey, I woke up this morning so that's a bonus."

Spell check. Despite being set to UK English and turned off, still changing specialise to specialize and even changing fking numbers, like 70 to 79, wtf!?

Talking of graffiti, was it so prolific before spray cans. I just took a walk from Margate to Ramsgate along the coast and saw lots of this crap

Spray paint cans have been with us since about 1950, and became used for graffiti in the 1960's/70's.
Anybody who is old enough to clearly and reliably remember graffiti before spray cans is probably not on this forum...

Pompeii 79 AD.

Romans they go the house.

It's been a beautiful day round my way. There were a few before I started counting but I saw 72 convertible cars driving round and just 5 of them had the roof down. Why bother spending extra on the convertible if you're not going to use it?

I agree, when I had a floppy top I took it down provided it wasn't absolutely chucking it down.

And another thing. Road signs obscured by shrubbery. It's everywhere. You can't read the sign until the last three yards - if you're lucky. Others have vanished into the undergrowth probably never to be seen again.

Here's one near me with the local rules/times for bus lane usage. Completely lost to vegetation...

Because the (invariably) elderly male occupants are worried about sunburned scalps.

Agreed but we know about things that existed before we were born. Historical records, photos, recorded documents etc.

I think he's talking about spam posters starting new threads advertising such goodies as opposed to actual adverts popping up on whatever page on the site you're reading.

Medical receptionists, particularly GP and dentists. You all know why.

Breasts are too large? Never need any anaesthetic when I visit the dentist, just focus on his assistant and my mind soon drifts away. One of my GP's receps girls is stacked as well. Must be the Cheshire air.
