    Wrongly punctuated Dublin phone numbers is another one.

    I'm talking about badly advertised numbers on the side of vans and lorries, for example . . .

    'Mickey Finne publishing'
    Tel: 01 6 745 272

    Another Dublin number might read,
    Tel: 012 784 8 73

    And one more made up example,
    Tel: 01 28 06 535

    Why people don't stick to the 01 Dublin 'phone book' format is beyond me.
    Dublin (01), Area code (3 digits), followed by the allocated (4) digits for a given line.

    One for the Dubliners: next time you're in Dundrum shopping centre, go to the Eason's on the top floor, and have a laugh at the Sokudo sign above the Sudoku magazines near the door. Just because it's a foreign word, doesn't mean you can just make it up as you go along. :pac:

    Ye Hypocrites, are these your pranks
    To murder men and gie God thanks?
    Desist for shame, proceed no further
    God won't accept your thanks for murder.

    Attachment not found.

    Along the same lines, there was a billboard in Landsdowne Road dart station many moons ago advertising a printing and typesetting company, with the headline "Now Your on the Right Track" :o

    I always thought the hairdresser was delibrate - they do a great job anyway :P
