Don’t take sleeping pills and get drop dead drunk in the same night.

No trash cans next to toilet bowls here, tho. :U

Also, sometimes there isn't any toilet paper... that's the only time, I think.

Beyond that, it can't be worse than "flushable" wipes, I'm presuming, since it's mostly paper and pretty much dissolves in water like toilet paper does.

It's probably covered in poo and will stink the place out.

Also, the trashcan is there solely to be pushed over if you suddenly convert to anarchism mid-dump.

Do they have spraycans next to the trashcan then, in case you wish to express said anarchism in vandalistic manner?

Latent social conservatism devalues true "street art" and has lamentably prevented this method of free expression from being widely adopted :p

Sorry, I have to explicitly mark that one as not serious. Someone thinking even for a moment I might be speaking positively about grafitti is a satire STEP TOO FAR and I'd have to commit sudoku.

Indeed a step too far for you to go.

I, on the other hand, commit sudoku daily. :P

The more serious part of that being that I don't entirely see graffiti as a social ill and have also been on a sudoku kick lately.

To me it's a low-level sign of the breakdown of effective community policing, poor surveillance and the degradation of social space, all of which tell me an area is not very cared for and is likely to have a criminal element. Time to go somewhere else!

I saw things were about to kick off so I got out of there.

Little reference there for some of our British readers.

I think a part of why my perspective of graffiti is formed the way it is is from what I've seen of the graffiti itself...?

Especially given that due to how little there is of it near me, I almost see it as kind of a rarity. (Which I imagine you'd just be delighted over, if the rent isn't an issue)

Could also be because there's not that much for the youth there to do? Also depends on how much the space is used to begin with; I'd be more concerned if the graffiti appeared in a public square than I would if it appeared in an alleyway or under a bridge.

Neighbouring clubs might be lower in the football pyramid but they lack the whiff of "big club" delusion and comedy-level mismanagement stretching back decades. Less Newcastle, more old rotten wooden fort, permanently on fire.

idk, back when I followed footie more avidly they were always one of the teams I instinctively disliked - not a "neutral's favourite".
