You must have seen this word in big letters, usually on motorway bridges ? Does anyone know what it means and why it is there ?

Theres' a few explanations:

it's an alternative rock band - seems unlikely explanation

it's the krishna word for "be happy" - could be that

it's a gang name - based in London (could be that I guess)

No I don't think its who built the bridge, the "stickers" don't look profesional enough. Its as though they've bent over the bridge to stick them on...

Theres loads of these nutters in doncaster town centre. They always collar you and always try to make you say gouranga. I always reply with f**k off and they still smile lol.

They've got them on all the bridges round here.

Be happy my ****.
