Bungle
....years ago while doing my A Levels, we had some fat, sweaty trainee teacher person taking a class. At one point, he was droning on about something and reached behind him to pull down the blackboard thing (this was obviously in the days before those plastic whiteboard things). Now imagine trainee's wonder at why twenty 17 year olds had all started sniggering and worst still, why the real teacher was pissing himself laughing..... what trainee didn't realise was that as he'd rolled the board down he had revealed a little graffiti that someone had left behind:

"Zippy and Bungle
Went to the jungle
Having lots of fun
Zippy got silly
And took out his willy
And stuck it up Bungle's bum"

:-D

Reading through the entries, I've remembered some gems, courtesy of THA YOOF OF NARCH!
2002 Down the notorious King Street, on a boarded up shop entrance there were various slogans, so and so loves so and so blah blah blah... and...

"Ulrika deserved it - FREE JOHN LESLEY!"

2002 - Under the road bridge at the end of Sloughbottom park

"Costessey Mafia Headquarters this way"

And the best, the winner...

2003-06 The "Welcome To Norwich" sign at the traffic lights by Asda

The city's motto is "Norwich - A Fine City"

With tippex and black marker, some wit had amended it to

NORWICH - ALBINO CITY

I’ve seen several army recruitment signs changed from “Ask someone who’s been” to “Ask someone who’s son died” after a few local soldiers were killed in Iraq.

And for humour (possibly a B3tard): Tesco value artwork – scrawled on a wall…..

Pub Toilets seem to be a feature.
My favourite was scrawled into the paintwork just above the middle unrinal in a pub I used to frequent:

"I love a cheap dirty lust-fuck with emotionally disturbed women"

Suprisingly, it wasn't written by me.

Drugs are for losers
But it's not the winning, it's the taking part that counts.

Sometimes you just don't need to alter anything. I was in a charity shop somewhere down in the west country, and there was a sign on the wall bemoaning thieves and telling people about the changing rooms all in one go:

'Shoplifters will be prosecuted. Please collect your disc from the till point'

Doing a job in traffic signals occasionally has its ups. There are signs above the main route into Glasgow that can display inspirational messages to the jockanese populous. One of these:

DON'T DRINK AND DRIVE

Suffered from a hardware failure, and one of the units that makes up three letters of the sign went dark. As a whole, it's supposed to detect this and shut down completely, but on this occasion it didn't. The loss of three letters might not seem to bad, but the local authority was not pleased to see a picture of their lovely new sign showing

DO DRINK AND DRIVE

all over the evening news...

Something similar occurs regularly on the M27. They've just paid god-knows-what to upgrade the overhead signs and communications links along the length of the road. They like to put that money to good use, and display similar inspirational slogans on those signs too. But when they combine the slogans with speed warnings (The flishy flashy ones that say '30' when you're stuck in a queue four miles long) things can come unstuck. A few months ago, I saw

DON'T PHONE
WHILE DRIVING END

The guys in the control room are getting political.

It's amazing the things that'll make you chuckle when you're bored out of your mind...

Snitterfield
There's a little town not far from where I live called Snitterfield. One of the bored teenagers that lives there has added a little vertical line to the 'n' in black marker pen, making it look more like a 'h', which makes the town's sign say...
Always makes me snigger as I pass by.

I'm with Thomas the SpankEngine on page 10
who's already posted my favourite EVER graffiti at Milton Keynes station. But what I particularly liked about it was that it was written as a little square four-words, four- letters poem like this:

LEGO LAND
SHIT HOLE

It was there for years and never cleaned off, until Silverlink took over the station and put up all-new signs. I am tempted to hop out of economy as I'm heading north one day and write it back up...

The Wizard bridge

Graffiti on son #2's bunk bed
It said simply "FUCIN"

He was six at the time.

I despair at the state of the British education system.

I've since had to teach him to spell myself.

In a multi-storey car park in Stockport
Written on the wall of a stairwell:

PHIL COLLINS IS AN EVIL DICTATOR
SOMEONE SHOOT THE MONG

It was there for ages but has sadly been painted over now.

I also liked a couple not far from where I used to live in Salford:

ROY BIRD SEX CASE
(which sounded like some kind of JML product)

and, during the break-dancing craze of the 1980s somebody was clearly interrupted whilst trying to paint "BREAK" on a wall, so as a result there was BREAl instead.

are gay
in poole bus station about 8 years ago, somebody had written "goths are gay". somebody (i presume a goth) had taken umbrage at this, and had crossed it out, but you could still read it. it amuses me that the potential thought process could have been "i disagree with this, but people need to know the shit us goths go through".

also, currently on the back of one of the signs in the tescos car park in infirmary road, sheffield, someone has written 'tescos is gay'. i cannot fathom the logic.

On the message board of the union was a poster for the socialist group announcing, "Next week how socialists can win the next election." Someone had added, "Also, how to nail custard to the ceiling.

River Hit
The bridge over the River Hit in Shefford, Beds, has a sign naming the river. It was modified so many times that the council changed the size and shape of the sign , with River above Hit on a kind of T shape to stop the addition of the obligatory "S"

Bodger & Badger
A big Bodger & Badger poster outside the Playhouse Theatre in Weston-Super-Mare proudly stated "Everybody knows, Badger loves MASHED POTATO", with a few deft strokes of a black marker pen, some wag changed it to;

Everybody knows, Badger loves MASHED POTATO TAKES IT UP THE ARSE!!

Absolute genius...
I lived in Hyde Park - Leeds - through my degree, and the best graffitti that i have ever seen was on the wall next to Jacksons.

There was a cartoon of a woman in a crown with her thumbs up... with the words ''Big up the Queen Mam, being dead is mint'' written under it.


It still makes me laugh now.

:D

Edit: Found a picture of it!

Grafiti on chairs
On a chair I was once forced to sit on in class as all the others were taken, was a piece of grafiti written so that when I sat down it was visible between my legs. It read: "Hairy Cunt^"

There are also other variations of this around my school where particular genitilia are drawn in the same way.
