Rugby club stand
Some of you who have read previous posts will recognise that I have a minor obsession with ‘grass roots’ graffiti. In my mind the outer expressions of inner thoughts are fascinating. Given the opportunity to write (admittedly antisocially) something that other people will read, you could ask yourself what would you write? It’s a bit like being asked to sign a colleagues leaving card. It has to be witty, succinct and in some ways a reflection of your personality. Anyway I came across a couple of examples in a typical teenagers hangout at a neglected rugby club stand.
The first example makes you wonder what on earth the author was thinking about, is it a reference to their peers liberal redecoration of the stand? were they watching the players on the rugby field? or was it intended to contradict the perception of today’s ‘idol’ youth. Who knows.
The second example is a straight forward piece of advise which probably has been passed down through the generations, whilst unexpected and perhaps arguable at least we can agree that marg is more spreadable!
Just as a footnote the same location included what could only be described as an extended essay, in Spanish. I assume that this was written by exchange students, or someone on a rugby tour. Let me know if anyone fancies a punt at translating it and I’ll post the photo.
