# Best Graffiti I Ever Saw
I was sitting in a pub in Oxford outside one of the posh colleges. I needed a crap and went to the loo. On closing the toilet door I noticed the graffiti was a little different to normal. Being Oxford someone had written a rather moving love poem down the door. Being Oxford there was something more: someone else had added a detailed poetry critique. Complete with references and footnotes. Oh those wacky students eh?

Originally it was just the "why do I do this..." but it has been added to over the past year or so to the point that it has lost some of its original impact.

It's still quite impressive though.

# Not as good as the above, possibly.
In Cambridge, Bateman Street has had a letter scribbled over for years, making it the hilarious "Batman Street".

But the best I ever saw was in the gents in the Natural Sciences building at Swansea University (out of the library, turn right opposite the biology office and past the first year biology notice board, toilets on your right - I think it was the far cubicle, but this is a while back).

Someone had written in big letters "KENT IS A SAD CUNT". There was a lot of space, so someone else - probably a geographer - had added the odd letter here and there to make it "KENT IS A SAnDy CoUNTy" (apologies for the dodgy capitals, there, it's the best representation of what I actually saw).

they had a lot of immigrant workers from countries where the lavatory arrangements are different - the ladies would stand on the toilet and squat when they went, and it was common to find dirty shoe-prints on the seats.

I'm taking a waz in the downstairs toilet of Prince of Wales Feathers, on Warren Street. The loo is pristine, not one bit of Graffiti, or so i thought until i knoticed somthing just to the left of the door frame. Upon closer inspection, as it was too small to read from the urinal, i found it to be a deep etching containing biro ink reading...

"Michael Jackson sucks cock"

roughly this big

|------------------------------------|

However, despite its minuteness, it had been etched in with such ferocity that it was obviously impossible to remove.

The most baffling part, for myself and those i sent to see it? What the fuck had Michael Jackson done to this poor guy.
