Lima Hotel Foxtrot Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 Seen on the back of a flight helmet on a BBC series years ago (called "Flight" or something). "Talk to other side." Also, there was one toilet cubicle door at uni which had an ongoing game of tetris on it. Everytime I went in someone had added a new piece. Odd.

Spice Cat Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 No matter how much you push the envelope, it'll still be stationery.I wondered why the baseball kept getting bigger. Then it hit me.A sign on the lawn at a drug rehab center said: 'Keep off the Grass.' Apparently "graffiti" is plural; "graffito" is singular. Ho hum...Edited By Spice Cat on 22/12/2010 22:07:49 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Privett Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 Posted by Lima Hotel Foxtrot on 15/10/2010 14:08:30:Clockwise on the M25, just past Uxbridge (I think) on an old rail bridge: "Peas forevermore." I couldn't agree more. I've often (well, occasionally!) wondered about that one, as I see it fairly often. The actual wording is "Give peas a chance" which usually prompts me to wonder whether it was written by a dyslexic peace campaigner, or by a vegetarian. Apparently the answer is probably neither! Spurred-on by reading this thread I've done a little digging, and the graffiti started off simply as "PEAS." Apparently "PEAS" is the name of a London graffiti "artist who probably painted it there himself." Opinions seem to vary about who/how/why the rest was added. Some graffiti I recall from probably the better part of 40 years ago was painted on a road bridge somewhere in Scotland. At the time the SNP were rather less of a serious political party than now, and painting "Independence" slogans on walls seemed to be one of their major activities. One particular bridge that I saw back then had "Independence" neatly painted along one side with the SNP logo before and after the word. Sadly, the writer seemed to have got a little confused when painting the other side and the SNP logo appeared either side of the word "INDEPENCE" Oops!

John Privett Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 Not quite graffiti, but another spelling "blooper"... One of my school-friends was a talented spray-painter and spray painted quite a lot of crash helmets for friends. He just used aerosol cans (no fancy spray guns) but produced some excellent results. Always on the lookout for new ideas/techniques he'd often have a close look at other peoples' work, and told me about a very nice paint job he'd seen on a Ford Escort. Using Ford's "loopy" script (like on the Ford logo), on one wing was painted the words "Team Escort." However, on the other side it read, "Team Escrot." The owner seemed not to have noticed the error... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
001 Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 Many, many years ago when SEAT cars were quite rare in the UK I saw one parked near a beach. It had a surfboard on the roofrack. I took a photo of it and it was published in a motoring magazine with the title. 'Board on the SEAT' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biggles' Elder Brother - Moderator Posted December 26, 2010 Author Share Posted December 26, 2010 Talking of misspelt graffeti When I was at school my maths teacher used to take great pleasure in a local piece of graffiti that read "Hells Angles rule OK"! There is another story - probably not true, but very funny none the less, about the tattoo artist who was pressured into doing a group tattooing of a gang of Hells Angels known as "Satan's Slaves". Apparently he had to skip the neigbourhood having tattooed "Santa's Slaves" across the backs of 40 big, mean, hairy bikers! BEB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
