Ah, back in the day when the "Blue Squad" were the local fellas and if you seen the "White Squad", you knew something serious was going down.

Sure lets change FÁS back to ANCO

In Limerick people still call the centre the ANCO building

How am I supposed to drop a dime now to inform the local cool detective that Joey the hatchet is back on the streets.

And you can write numbers on the screen in marker. It's going to be great!

I used to rub my anus on the mouthpiece of these phones.
Where will I rub my anus now ??

[readygo]

I will miss them, they are still in
in the north

[Capt'n Midnight]

Bloody heavy things, back in the day you'd only see vandalised ones in Dublin.

Used to pick up the radio on them, southside it was Radio Dublin and a different station northside , suppose it was which ever transmitter you were near.

[uch]

Yep, no where to piss in private on the way home

[OneArt]

No, just got myself a flash new Telex machine.

[stovelid]

Yes I will.

[emigrate2012]

I live on the the Northside and there's plenty of them around still 2 in santry village,2 in larkhill,2 in beamount.Bloody handy if you need to make a call & yiv no credit & not enough money to top up. If there's one within sight of work/school etc take the no. down and ring it,you'd be suprised how many people will anwser.......then ye can mess with them.Great craic!Always handy for a slash aswell.

Will you miss them? Does it bring a tear to your eye?

I don't believe I ever used them much even before my mobile phone days!

Here is something to bring back the memories

My dog will miss them. He always preferred them to a bollard or wall.

Well, there's 30 seconds of skimming I'll never get back (or so I'm told)

[thomasm]

I assume someone using a phonebox is getting instructions on where to drop the ransom money
