shaun sucks

i can't remember taking this. did someone else send me this?
well it's fairly straight forward. shaun sucks. nae luck shaun. yer pals and yer burd dinny like ye any mare. they could have sent you a message on facebook, or tweeted you. but they drew what was in their hearts instead...

piss hands

good old british rail eh?
no it's not british rail any more is it?
is it gner? gmtv?
who's running our railways!!
well i just like that this person has taken what is common sense and made it more fun. i thought about checking the stats for how many people wash their hands after going to the bathroom, but i decided that i couldn't be arsed.

ian...

now this picture actually came from an 'ian' however i don't think it's the 'ian' they are referring to. i know he used to be a past resident of clerie but i am quite sure this is just coinscidence. anyways, i like the way this looks very cartoonish- give it two eyes and a comedy smile and you have cartoon comedy gold! fun for all the family!

out-of-towners try 'street' talk...

now as you may know, 'baw bag' is one of my favourite swearings so this came as a wee treat to find on the streets of glasgow, and nice to know that the service is being offered although i think what they are saying with 'ball bag r us' is that they are in fact baw bags themselves...so less of a service then and more of a self-slaggin'. in addition, by using 'ball' instead of 'baw' i am inclined to believe that this may be the prank of the out-of town student classes trying to get down with the locals...eh, naw.

ecstatic elastic

mary sent me this wee piccy and i know she never fiddled with it too much before snapping...
now even though it's not a 'marking' as such it makes the cut in to C&B simply because it is a C&B and this is my site and i can do whatever the fuck i want!!

pub landlords try a different kind of trade...

snapped during the big winter freeze of 2010 when supermarket shelves were empty and the country ground to a halt, it's nice to know that the bars of edinburgh were looking to diversify...

'mummy what's boner'?

now this is one is possibly the best uses of imagination and seizing the moment that i have seen in ages!!
i drove past this once, before losing sleep over it and having to go back and hunt it down again- no mean feat since i have no memory and a serious lack of direction. as i snapped this there were several 'yummy mummies' disapprovingly wheeling past (is it possible to passive aggressively push a buggy)? and trying to get their kids to look away as the little 'un yelps out 'mummy what's that lady taking a picture of?'

fanny mince...

i snapped this right outside the barrowlands as i waited for a belle and sebastian gig. i think they would have approved. lightinng is awful 'cause street lights have not come to that part of glasgow yet...
i think fanny mince is one of the most foul phrases i have heard in a long time and i am proud that it was glasgow that disgusted me. mice is one of our staple national dishes after all...

berlinner...

i was a little disappointed by the lack of C&B in berlin so this will have to do...

round the bend...

this one is from martin who snapped this bit of genius
just outside edinburgh...
anyone passing in a car would not fail to have a laugh at it
it's a lovely picture too!!

doing it for the kids...

this one is from a play park in livingston...
right next to the swings...
play park resembles a prisoner's exercise yard
more than a play park which is probably why
i've never actually seen any children play there...
anyways i love a bit of good ol' fashioned tippex graffitti!!

possibly the most successful dance company on the planet...

people took this dance company serisously...once...
that is until they popped this poster in to a bus shelter in leith
and once that happened it was only a matter of time before
something took a pen to it...
i still didn't go see the dance company...
just laughed at this poster instead...

lovely leith...

this little one is from mary, who stumbled upon it in lovely leith
an area of edinburgh rich in humour, pathos and nob graffitti...

can you tell what it is yet???

where to start with this one?
firstly, the cock ring- that's a first for this blog!
bawbag is one of my favourite swear words as many of you know
and now features on a range of skate clothing
perhaps this is some sort of viral marketing campaign?
doesn't it look like antipodean legend rolf harris???

world cup special

i got this one several weeks ago here in edinburgh
how lucky i got it at the right time what with the world cup just been...
looks like it's headering the ball
thankfully this is the closest i got to having anything to
do with the world cup
i could add so many jokes to this...
something about dribbling with the ball,
or how about he shoots he scores...
or good ball skills...
i'll stop there...

roasting...

this one if from anna who seems to find great ones down her end of town...
have been studying this one closely...
is it burned in to the tarmac?
after the recent heatwave i wouldn't be surprised if it was burned in!
is it just water?
has it been burned in with acid?
well i'm just not sure!!
but i think this was done by someone with a good eye for composition
like how it incorporates holes in the tarmac at the top there...

urburn

this one is from kristian...
and oh how i laughed!!!!
now i know whitburn and blackburn and stoneyburn but i've never been to urburn...
anyone know where urburn is?
spelling is genius! now my spelling isn't perfect but before i decided to throw something on a wall i'd probably check my spelling
that's not flames coming off the letters that's a waft...
hump-o-dung...

masons handshake?

this picture is from my old pal brian and i believe this is from leith somewhere...
words fail me with this one...
well maybe one...mingin'.
reminds me of the sign for the masons...

hung parliament...

now this is by a very bad person who spoiled their ballot paper which i do not advocate in any way however!! it's fucking funny...
considering the state of british politics for the next few years it seems appropriate that we have an election special...yeah, there is a joke in there...see if you can find it...answers on a postcard...

raiding the bathroom...

now this one is from anna- thanks anna!!
it was next to a car that had been toilet-papered just off leith walk...a total shambles apparently...made from shaving foam and next to a TP'd car...i smell a rat!! think there's a link there???
think the dog turd at the bottom right of the photograph sort of finishes off the image perfectly!
