Best Graffiti

Posted by: JamieWednesday on 10 October 2005

Was going to add this to T-shirt slogans 'cos I couldn't be bothered to start new thread but there must be some rude words in there (How very dare you...) 'cos my work web filter won't let me open it.

So...

The finest peice of graffiti I ever saw was many years ago in this very town sprayed onto a wall on a bridge underpass:

To be contemporary is to look ahead, not around.

I saw a photograph in the NZ Listener magazine of this graffiti painted onto a long corrugated iron fence:

Irony is the refuge of the wealthy.

One piece of graffiti I often see is stencilled in small letters on the footpath in town. It has an arrow about 5cm long and below it is written:

Gluten free

There are a lot of sparrows around that area.

Spotted in the lift in the Pschology Dept. at Uni:

Does the name Pavlov ring a bell?

My mum made me a Lesbian!

If I give her the wool will she make me one?

When I used to live in Greenwich, there used to be a single piece on the side of a red brick warehouse, near the Cutty Sark pub:

'Free the Kat', next to a sprayed image of a moggy. I thought it was well cool.

On the bridge at the bottom of Wellsway, Bristol, used to be writ large:

'Global politics? Not me, I'd rather nuke and go.'

On the A1 coming south into London used to be a sign that said:

"Golders Green 3"

Under which someone had painted:

"But to you, 2½"

I enjoyed this image in Stockholm, sprayed on the side of a bridge:

Just down the road from where I live, behind a carpark, which a friend pointed out today:

Sorry, but this wall has been vandalised.

As an admirer of the aptly-placed urban art, my favourite still (no JPEG clip yet) is ones 30 years ago in old bog in Bristol University Wills M. Building ...

'My mummy made me a homosexual' ...'If I gave her the wool, would she make me one too?'.

'Nostalgia ain't what it used to be'.

I know these are old, but I like a good verbal graffito.

It must be geographical. They did the rounds in the Bath bogs too. I refer (of coarse) to the graffitiists not the homosexuals. Winker

There used to be a "speak-your-weight" set of scales in Dartford train station (of all places) onto which someone had written:

"I whisper your weight."

Which I thought was very funny.

Also I once saw in an Islington pub a condom machine that had as part of its instructions: "turn knob sharply to left, then right" to which someone had replied "if you're going to do that you don't really need a condom"

One I remember was around Fulham on a railway bridge some 25+ years ago - the ubiquitous "Jesus Saves," under which some wag had added "with the Woolwich."

My office isn't messy it's fung shui

Sign posted in a bathroom: We aim to please! You aim too! Please!

Sign seen at a swimming pool:
Welcome to our ool.
Notice there's no P in it.
Please keep it that way.

Anal intercourse is for ASSHOLES.

(written high upon the wall above a urinal)
Don't look up here, the joke's in your hand.

Scratched into the paint of the condom-dispensing machine were these words:
"Don't buy this gum, it tastes like rubber."

On an elevator in New York: "Elevator out of order."
Scrawled underneath: "Try the ones across the street."

While I wait for the perfect woman to come along,
I'm having a lot of fun with the imperfect ones!

Impotence: Nature's way of saying "No hard feelings"

I get enough exercise just pushing my luck !

'Witch Parking, all others will be toad.'

Nothing is more wasted than a smile...
on the face on a Playmate centerfold.

To all Virgins - Thanks for Nothing !

Deja Moo : The feeling you've heard this bull before !

God must love stupid people...He made so many !

WANTED: Meaningful overnight relationship.

There's a bridge over the M1 that had "Hoot 4 Hunting" sprayed on it which someone has changed to "Shoot A Hunter" Ha ha!

Also on entering Luton from the M1 there's a new sign saying "Luton - More for you!" which some one very convincingly changed to "Luton - More fool you!" within days of the sign going up Smile

In Essex, the Stanford-le-Hope sign has been changed to Stanford-no-Hope.
It's been that way for years so they obviously don't care

Painted on the Forth Bridge:

Living up here may be cheap...
But it's not scot free.
