Now, that's my kind of world cup!

Day 271 - Ugly on the outside

Ugly on the outside?
It's what's inside that counts!

Day 253 - Spell check required

Spell check required

I couldn't believe this sign in a hospital elevator. Someone had already attacked two of the rogue apostrophes with a Twink pen, but somehow copy's remained. Seriously, how long would it have taken to ask someone to check the spelling and punctuation on this sign before it was produced? *shakes head in disbelief*

Day 252 - Good advice

Good advice

"Don't use chopsticks while driving"

Day 245 - Throw parties, not stones

Throw parties, not stones

Sounds like a good idea to me!

Day 228 - Love u long time

Love u long time

I still laugh every time I see the inscription on the steps leading up to Monsoon Poon.

Day 227 - Church activities

'Church' activities

The future's looking bright!

I love this sign at Cafe Vanilla in Thorndon. Whoever said there's no hope for the future? ;-)

Day 44 - Flu isolation area

Flu isolation area
Island Bay Medical Centre
Wishful thinking, or will it actually make a difference?

Day 42 - Alarmed door

Alarmed door

Really? I thought it looked quite calm and collected, actually - but I appreciate the warning! :-P

Day 41 - Priceless

Priceless

Dressing lengths of Elastoplast: $8.98
Cost of using a spellchecker: priceless.

Day 31 - Clos-ed

Clos-ed

I did a double-take when I saw this sign outside the City Gallery in Wellington. I wondered what clos-ed was; a new exhibition? A visiting artist? Photography? And then I looked to the right-hand side of the building, saw this sign, and I understood. Doh!

Open

Clos-ed for renovations until September 09!

Day 29 - Gun shop

Gun shop open for business

This sign is a rarity in New Zealand; gun shops are largely non-existent here and I was shocked to see this sign this morning. Perhaps what shocked me most is that it was just around the corner from us and I'd never noticed it before. I didn't even know that there was a gun shop right on the main street in Petone. It has left me with an uneasy, slightly disturbed feeling today.

Day 25 - Cause for concern?

Cause for concern?

I don't know about you, but when I see these two signs placed adjacently in the car in front of me, I'm not sure whether to laugh or take a side street.
