» 204 Failures in Communication

  1. Winfail says:

    OMG we’re not reduced to this kind of material now are we? This is old!

  2. ddd says:

    is that in the states?

    • Winfail says:

      It is in the states of secret fail and facepalmdom yes

    • Joe says:

      No, judging from the signs it’s the UK

      • r--t says:

        It is in the UK. It was featured on the latest series of the motoring show Top Gear in a segment about pointless or stupid road signs.

        The comment from one of the presenters was:

        ‘On the other hand, what if the bunker is actually in the other direction?’

      • Beany says:

        Yes it is i live there *cries*

      • cabbage says:

        Oh, the University of Kentucky?

      • hikari says:

        It’s up the road from where I live.

        It would be more accurate if the sign said “Decommissioned And Formerly Secret Nuclear Bunker”, being as it’s now in private ownership and run as a tourist attraction; has been for some time. A bit longer than the sign has been around, strangely enough.

        • penny says:

          The bunker is in Kelvedon Hatch in the U.K, but I think that sign is the one in Chipping Ongar where my boyfriend lives. We always laugh about it when we drive past it!

    • fuzz on the concept says:

      If we showed you where it was, we’d have to kill you. That’s no secret. Everybody knows it.

  3. Avis says:

    Strong enough for a man, but made to protect women.

  4. mrdobalina says:

    Please can noone post whether they are the first, second, third or other person to comment on this picture.
    That is really the most stupid thing imaginable.
    You are showing off you can count and… that’s about it.
    Failblog is supposed to be where we laugh at OTHER PEOPLE’s stupidity, not act stupid ourselves.
    Grow up, children.

  5. Omega says:

    Uh-oh… hidden things FAIL

  6. Insanus says:

    So… Is this a fail?

    • Winterval says:

      No, it’s an massive advertising WIN for the cold-war secret nuclear bunker museum, who put the sign up to get publicity.

  7. Bill says:

    Taken out of context it seems like it is fail. It’s really just an old military bunker used during WW2 during which time it was deemed “secret” I guess they kept the name despite it’s lack of relevance nowadays. I’ve been in there once it sucks just a lot of tunnels, pipes, and a gift shop with a insanely large tub of soup.

  8. Ayenaw says:

    In the UK they declassify these after like 50 years and open them up as tourist attractions. They are advertised as ’secret’ nuclear bunkers. They USED to be secret, but not any more. Not really a fail.

  9. brendan says:

    havent we already had this?

  10. lolman says:

    Yes, but people can’t come up with anything original. So they recycle like good citizens.

  11. cacapeepee says:

    FIRST!!!!!!!!!!!!

  12. kr says:

    recycling WIN

  13. MrDobilina says:

    Whoever RE POSTED this for the god knows how manyth time was made of FAIL

    and i live in Brentwood, so i know how common it is to see this sign.
    The secret nuclear bunker is a tourist sight, where people can visit a disused nuke bunker.

  14. Orion says:

    REPEAT FAIL!!!

  15. Rosie says:

    This one is definitely a repeat.

    And the sign is for a decommissioned public attraction, anyway.

  16. hiiiii says:

    Isn’t this sign already on the failblog somewhere?

  17. Vizzini (Art Vandalay) says:

    See, only people in the know realize the secret nuclear bunker is actually to the right, not the left. The sign is just there to mislead you…

    Shhh…don’t tell anyone else or we’ll have to turn the sign the other way again so it points towards the bunker assuming everyone would think it’s pointing away from the bunker.

    But wait…did we already have it pointing at the bunker or away from the bunker?

    Now, a clever man would put the sign towards the bunker, because he would know that only a great fool would head to where he was directed. I am not a great fool, so I can clearly not head to the left. But you must have known I was not a great fool, you would have counted on it, so I can clearly not head to the right…

  18. Fustanella says:

    It’s only a FAIL for people who don’t understand roadsigns. Brown = park, in the US and the UK. Have fun storming the bunker.

    • UnluckyFriedKitten says:

      …yeah good luck, they might have some defenses in the form of boiling hot vat of Soup to repel the giftshop invaders ;)

  19. Roo says:

    SHH. Don’t make it obvious!

  20. Seward says:

    Ah, English signs. My favourite is still one that my husband told me about. It was somewhere near Scarborough and Ravenscar, and it read:

    Cilffs, one mile
    Old Folks’ Home, mile and a half

  21. Nonymous says:

    Hrm…This somehow reminds me of the George Bush center for intelligence.

  22. The fact that the sign is brown indicates, in the UK at least (which is where this is), that the subject is a tourist attraction. National parks etc are all signwritten in brown. This bunker is clearly an old folly intended purely for tourism interest.

  23. C.G. says:

    Remember when Batman fired Alfred for giving away the Bat Cave’s location? He was later hired by a secret nuclear bunker.

    I wonder how is he doing.

  24. Hmmmm says:

    … Repost WIN

  25. Hmmmm says:

    …Repost WIN

  26. Chase says:

    DAMMIT! ALMOST 3RD!

  27. Mike says:

    I have saw this sign in real life, I should put a “Fail” sign next to it.

  28. Gorgonzola says:

    Not really a fail…

    Its actually a tourist attraction in Scotland.
    What is fail though is the cafe inside it; don’t expect getting what you ordered anytime soon, thats if they remembered you ordered something….

  29. FC says:

    recycling old crap win?
    or fail.

    faiwin
    winail

  30. heb says:

    I live in Kelvedon Hatch.
    FAIL

  31. jdmasters says:

    So – the dude making the sign had to have been cracking on this job order.

  32. zabriski says:

    Honesty Win.

  33. Guy Over Yonder says:

    Omigosh! I would have never guessed! :O

  34. Dexaan says:

    It must be a supervillan’s hideout… they’d be the only ones to actually ADVERTISE the bunker, so they could lure the hero in and then trap him.

  35. 55555 says:

    Old. Very old.

  36. Pokemon says:

    Old… i had seen it before =) but nice try

  37. Jay says:

    I only recently found this site and even I’ve seen this posted before…

  38. Wahoo! says:

    Last…

  39. noyb says:

    DUPLICATE FAIL.

  40. JudasR0x says:

    Bleaaaargh! Hell Yeah! Nice Pix!

  41. JaM3z says:

    For anyone that cares this is about 0.8 Miles from my house, and yes every day, every single day i drive past it i /facepalm.

  42. Peter says:

    This is a tourist attraction near chelmsford in essex, England!

  43. Mephiles says:

    This one’s from top gear.

  44. nicomo says:

    Is that tourist attraction still there?

  45. BOB says:

    Seen it, been there. The best part was leaving. You can’t fucking breathe in there and it smells.
    And fucking hard to find.

  46. Zideeane says:

    ROFL I’ve passed that sign way too many times. It’s in a town called Ongar near me. The guy who commented last was right… it fucking smells in there… quite fun though

  47. Tomfg says:

    lol the bunker’s probably in the OTHER direction. They are teh sneaky……

  48. John says:

    Oh fuck, THAT IS REALLY CLOSE TO ME!

  49. adrian says:

    the nucler bunker could be in the other direction

  50. Dave says:

    This is not fake – it really does say Secret Nuclear Bunker in real life. I’ve never even see the sign in real life as I live nowhere near those places, but I know it’s real because in Britain, tourist attractions, or places of historical interest, have a brown background on our road signs, and I’ve heard of this place before; a memory of the cold war.

  51. Dude says:

    Omg, thats near where I live!

  52. adam says:

    right clear it up. i live in brentwood (in england) and it was a secret nuclear bunker. but in the 1970s or so the government sold it. (it was meant for the important people if we had a nuclear war. its now a tourist attraction. its very impressive. the enterance to it is a little hut in the woods. cant be seen. * see fallout 3* looks exactly like it

    • Daz says:

      Its pretty cool down there. The entrance is a rather long tunnel with a pillbox at one end, so if anybody did get in that wasn’t meant to they could be shot :)

  53. Madison says:

    FIRST COMMENT FAIL
    PS: I spell fail phail. SPELLING PHAIL!

  54. The Failer says:

    Look Like it An’t No Secret any more

  55. LOLI says:

    Ha Ha i drive past that sign everyday…..glad to know I’m not the only person who thinks its a fail!
