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.

Does the name Pavlov ring a bell?

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"

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."
