Holiday photograph 1

I have returned from holidaytime. As no-one really reads blogs in August I think I can afford to show you one or two of my holiday photographs without too much of an outcry.

holiday snaps 1

This is photograph number one. If anyone can explain the meaning of the signage their prize will be the possibility of admiring glances from other frequenters of the comments page.

I have a slight virus so will not be doing any in-depth blogging or drawing work for a day or two. I will attempt to reply to some e-mails, but it might not be in an in-depth way.

    no kicking, no punching, no standing on on leg with your hands in your pockets?

    It’s clearly a sign from a bouncy castle. No shoes, no fighting, no leaning on the wall to try and make it capsize.

    Cheers,
    Ross

    Left to right: No ‘Ministry of Silly Walks’; no ‘Paper, Rock, Scissors’; no impersonating flamingoes.

    They look like No kicking, No punching, No kneeing in the groin to me. Where did you go for your holiday?

  5. Peter Kirk says:

    Peter O, he must have been to Lakeland, Florida. Those signs can only mean “Todd Bentley not welcome here”! ;-)

    No sensible shoes, no concealed thumbs, no scratching your bum?

    Glad to see you back.

    No kicking, hitting, and certainly no imitations of Johnny Strabler hanging out in front of the soda shop.

    No Hokey Kokey…?

    I think it’s posted in a nightclub, as a warning against rogue dancing styles:

    1. No can-can
    2. No hand jive
    3. No Morris dancing

  14. andym says:

    my guess would be:
    - no kicking
    - no punching
    - no Irish Dancing
    English Folk festival perhaps?

  15. Jaded for Jesuse says:

    Surely it’s referring to “no kicking; no punching; no casual wearing of slacks”?

  16. Jaded for Jesus says:

    Oh, a random “e” attached itself to my nom de plume. Excuse me.

    I think this was left over from Lambeth.

    How beautiful are the feet of a Bishop but not one who has slipped over.

    Lift up holy hands with care

    Don’t stand around looking camp?

  18. Jeremy says:

    Everyone knows that, surely? It’s the standard sign placed at the ringside of women’s barefoot boxing (non bare knuckle variety) bouts.

  19. Bob Gould says:

    They remind me of the old joke of the young cyclist, “Look, no feet!, look no hands!, look no teeth!” Except here, in place of teeth, something not appropriate to this blog would need to be substituted.

    Looks like a Cistern Disease health warning to me ;)

    No marching, no giving “respect” and no dad dancing.

  22. Jason Turner says:

    I believe these signs mean from left to right

    Take ya shoes off cos I just cleaned the floor
    If you touch the walls or the furniture I will cut off your thumb and the final one
    “Of course I’m goign to be pretentious, I look campe (you spelled camp wrong)

    Or the last one could mean. I’m your mother don;t just stand there looking stupid, go clean your room.

  23. Daniel says:

    It’s no kicking, no punching and no doing that thing from Karate Kid, Dave-san.

  26. Karin says:

    Not sure I can add to all these inventive suggestions, Dave, so maybe you can let us know where you saw these signs, and if not obvious, what they meant – but that could be more mundane than some of the ideas here.

    25+ responses is pretty good going for a blog no-one is reading in August!

    Hope you get well soon, and especially in time for the weekend.
