I think its about time that all forms of paint and paint related products be banned,Textas and Sharpies as well..Its a public discrace..The last thing we need is Unruly Youths flying around on scooters doing 240Kph,running over spotted quolls!

Oh, please. People have been using graffiti to mark turf, sing their own praises and mock their rivals since the invention of writing.

I was talking more about the postcode tags and terms like ‘represent’.

Ah its just canberra finally catching up to sydney/melbourne/perth/brisbane where every train station has a local gang just waiting to amuse you in their pathetic attempts at tomfoolery and general hijinks. Most noticeable in my opinion in Melbourne, it was a source of mirth and amusement for me on many occasion alighting from a train in some area of suburbia to be greeted by the local 10-15 year olds intent on acting tough. Ahh it brings back memories. Sure Canberra has always had the “interchange gangs” but this postcode bonding development is new indeed, a definite “evolution” of the mentality from what I experienced growing up in Canberra until my late teens before I escaped. Remember, a loud bark is oft times more useful than a sharp bite. 😛

…who’s Eva?

I’m pretty sure it’s not the youth of today doing this. I haven’t posted an actual letter for many years. I think you have to be a certain age to even know what a post code is. Same as knowing why you “dial” a telephone number.

Honestly, I can’t see what all the fuss is about. Tuggers does rule the Creek.

Biatches.

where are the canberra guardian angels when you need them….

Kambah representing!!!! I even got a tatt on my arm saying “2900 4 Life”

Since sarcasm is difficult to read online, I’ll point out that Kambah’s postcode isn’t 2900 It’s 2902.

Why why don’t you go tag all their letterboxes with {your street number} rules then you can be cool too!!

Just quietly Weaselburger, I think Pommy Bastard was quoting a television show from the UK.

I have seen just as many “adults” buy in to the stupidity of suburb rivalry as kids. A breif look in the comments on this site will show this.

Very good point, and funny as hell really, but careful, you will get them all started again………..

Or your phone number, yeah, use that!

What about the graffiti I saw at Woden Interchange a few years ago – “South Central Woden Boyz”. Delusions of grandeur?

Some people here need to get a life

Saw someone last year get into his 4WD and drive off after just tagging a road in Curtin, looked about late twenties, but it was dark. At any rate – no L or P plates on the vehicle.

Generations of refusing to venture into the world outside their postcode has led to massive inbreeding having a proportionate effect on their ability to form rational thought processes, perhaps.

No, I’m sure there’s a gang of adults roaming around the suburbs bringing that old rivalry back to life.

Southern mouth breathers! Belco or Die!

Whatever happens if the parents of these kids ever move to a new suburb?

“2905 reprent for life … or until my parents decide to move”

2902!!!

The last week has seen “Dirty South 2905” tagged on bus shelters (nice freshly painted ones) in Kaleen as well. That’s a long ride on your BMX!

Nah if you have a BMX it’s a free bus ride… The government is sponsoring these vandals with free rides north to tag some bus stops…

For the record: Action buses are no longer free for people using bike racks … not that we should let that stand in the way of anyones confected outrage about evil yoofs.

A southside bogan thing. This stuff never happens on the northside. haha 2614 massive rulez da streets, booya!

Warriors, come out to playeeeay

Who says there’s nothing for kids to do in this town, eh?!?!

At least they’ve used their 3 shared brain cells to work out the post code range.
Though somehow 2906 doesn’t make the grade… the deep south?!

numberonebbqer9:06 am 11 Feb 10

Kinda funny but….. 2611 for life

2615 MOFO’s!

Anyway, Belconnen is better than Tuggers…

Terry “I haven’t got much time for the Irish or the Welsh, and the Scots are worse than the Koreans”.

Bob “And you never could stand southerners”.

Terry “To tell you the truth I don’t much like anyone outside this town. And there aren’t many families down our street that I can stand”.

the majority of signs in the weston area have been defaced over night with kambah, tuggeranong postcodes ”2902-2905 rules bitches”. etc…

Annoyed Posties just getting chased by too many dogs in all other post codes.

Yeah, I saw the one at Dixon/Hindmarsh and thought “Geez, that’s a dumb vandal – got the local postcode wrong”.

I wonder if this has anything to do with the muggings that have been going on in both townships of late? (yeah, wild conjecture),

Feral animals spraying objects to mark their territory, “castration works”!!

At the very, very least they should write something interesting and readable.

Somehow 2902s v 2611s just doesn’t have the same romanticism to it.

My favourite graffiti is “Dara pride World wide”
But apparently the ‘world’ extends as far as Antill St to the north and Limestone to the south

The bus stops on Dixon drive were done by Tuesday morning. How exciting *rolls eyes*

People who do this sort of thing are only useful if ground up and used as garden fertiliser.

Picts v Celts

Mods v Rockers
Skips v Wogs
Kiwis v Aussies

plus ça change
