Polish graffitti - blimey!

I doubt it was the Polish that done it, just some PC type who felt the Polish would feel left out!

Now that made me laugh...


On a more serious note though, did anyone watch Prime Time last night, when Miriam was chatting to the two Polish guys. One of them coached an immigrant Polish soccer team in his spare time in Dublin, half of whom were made up of former professional soccer players in Poland.

I think its about time local soccer teams began to really look at players like this for a couple of reasons, not least to

a. improve the local soccer pool of talent

and

b. assist in integration of migrant workers/

Why did you feel it necessary to point out use of the apostrophe. Don't you known that the majority of our immigrants are well educated :wink:

Well you would certainly expect them to be able to write in Polish in anycase.

I think the OP was expressing surprise that a Graffiti artist was consious of puntuation.

Well most of the real graffiti artists are very intelligent people ( I am not talking the 'deco loves sharon' variety) who are expressing themselves in a way that is relevant to themselves!

Of course, theres a time and a place (I think that the use of good quality graffiti on building hoardings is one?) for it.

No, my (esoteric) point was to illustrate that it probably was't a fake by a local (who wouldn't go so far as to put in an apostrophe).

I agree, there is a time and a place and older stone walls are not one of them. Oh, and what is this 'GRIFT' logo you speak? I see that 'No Logo' one a lot and a particularly hilarious one on the bridge under the M50 coming up to Parkwest which goes something like:

DUBLIN: NUCLEAR (?) CITY, 1990......(it then talks about the lords of heavy metal creating a band called 'nuclear assault'....)

I still grin at it years after first seeing it!
