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

I cant wait for them to invent those CRT video pay-phones they have in blade runner.

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

Where will I rub my anus now ??

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.

When was the last time you used a public telephone? I think phone boxes are pretty much an endangered species on the verge of inevitable extinction.

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)

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