wiggy Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 Not finished Wiggy - still a ton of work to do on them. What era were you wanting (their split into categories) R. Any news on these yet. Getting to the stage where I need these type's of signs. Thanks, Wiggy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenderg Posted September 30, 2013 Author Share Posted September 30, 2013 Gents, Some signs to torment your plastic passengers with. This is IE only, still gathering NI ones. Many thanks to the thread contributors. These can be plastered all over buildings, or on posts in car parks. Best printed on semi-gloss photo paper. Tiny dab of pva on the back is the best way to stick them down. If anyone needs a pre-cut pack, instead of cutting it themselves, PM me. Cost €2.50. http://www.glenderg.com/drawings/Station_Signage.pdf Enjoy. Richie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedRich Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 Lovely Richie, I'll print them off at the weekend when I get some paper. Rich, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broithe Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 A new sign (of the times) at Ballybrophy. A new ticket machine, too. And an old sign... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhb171achill Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 "it's servants"???? Can nobody in IE work out the waste of ink in adding in incorrect apostrophes, as instructed by the teachers of nine year old children? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broithe Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 "it's servants"???? Can nobody in IE work out the waste of ink in adding in incorrect apostrophes, as instructed by the teachers of nine year old children? Be fair! They've used "whomsoever" twice - isn't that enough? And a "thereon". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiveController Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 "it's servants"???? Can nobody in IE work out the waste of ink in adding in incorrect apostrophes, as instructed by the teachers of nine year old children? Probably neither them or there servants seen it before it were erected, so its not really they're fault 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenderg Posted April 12, 2015 Author Share Posted April 12, 2015 What annoys me rightly is not so much the apostrophe, but the complete inability of CIE to spell their own company name properly..... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiveController Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 What annoys me rightly is not so much the apostrophe, but the complete inability of CIE to spell their own company name properly..... You mean the missing séimhiú as in Córas Iompair Éireann, I presume? If they can't get the "its" right "as Bearla", consonant mutations are not likely to be their forte either 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

minister_for_hardship Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 Correct punctuation went down the toilet years ago. We can't even get English 100% right, and then there's the half-assed attempts at Irish in public signage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jhb171achill Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 With Scotsmen wearing kilts, how do you tell a Scottish "Gents" sign from a "Ladies" one? Maybe you have to lift the sign up to see what's underneath? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

burnthebox Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 And I was thinking the one on the right is a MAN, & a Scotsman at that, brave one who lifts that thing up, whatever its called, on any Scotsman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broithe Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 an old sign... Well, after the controversy that this caused, I went armed with a black felt pen and some white sticky tape, but was confronted by this... ..a new sign - and reflective, for some odd reason..

Broithe Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 Some other signs have also gone reflective. ..I may have to have a 'face'lift.. This sign has been there for many years - and is getting a bit tired now.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jhb171achill Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 Is "Líne" the correct Irish word for "line"? Wouldn't be the first time that CIE (and its predecessor) made a mess of Irish spellings.... Send 'em back to primary school..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
