To everyone who complained about book abuse in the 478 comments in the Don’t Like Reading, Read On post, here is a little ray of sunshine for you. As both books and classic red phone booths are becoming a thing of the past, a village in Somerset, England has merged the two rare commodities.

The bright red old phone booth was purchased for just 1 pound and remodeled as the smallest library in the world. Residents line up to swap their already read books for new ones left by other patrons. Over 100 books and a variety of movies and music CDs are available at this tiny library.

  1. That is the kewlest thing I’ve ever seen!!

  2. What an awesome idea!

  3. thats totally gay

  4. If you don’t have anything nice to say, do us all a solid favor and don’t type it either.

  5. I wish I had one of these where I live.

  6. Brian.Maybe if you read a little more yourself you`d be capable of making a slightly less cretinous remark

  7. hahahah love it

  8. Loves To Spooge on January 24th, 2010 at 8:53 pm

    Wish you had one of these where you live? You do! It’s called a charity shop, where people throw away all sorts of crap shit they don’t want.

  9. THIS IS very neat! I like the idea of mixing two dieing loves into one :] and loooook at all the people lined up! It’s obviously a local hit!

  10. thats really gay

  11. That is absolutely fantastic! I love the idea that it is always changing, and people can leave books that move them to inspire others.

  12. Are books becoming part of the past? I wouldn’t think so. Granted I live in an urbanish area, but I have several enormous chain bookstores near me, dozens of little shops, and a two floor library that must have millions of books. The five closest libraries to me are connected via a currier service, and I can order books from any library and have it shipped to my local.

  14. My wife and I have traveled via RV trailer for vacations for several years. Most campgrounds we stop at have some sort of book exchange. Since it is not practical to carry dozens of books, we take a few that we want to read but do not care deeply about. When we finish reading a book, we leave it at one of these swap places and take something different to read. It works out well.

  15. that’s pretty gay

  16. They are all FUHOs(fucking homosexuals)

  17. right, gay. look at all those same-sex books doing it with each other.

  18. lol brian trolled you all.

  19. You could put more books in there if the library were a blue police call box, instead, because those are much bigger on the inside.

  20. Yeah, but the red ones are cooler, and it’s clear functionality was not a main concern.

  21. Sadly this would never work in my country, I think in fifteen minutes everything would be stolen.. including the booth eventually.

  22. that’s really gay imagine those books all smelling of piss after all that’s all those horrible red phone boxes smelt like. When i was a kid i did manage to stretch a condom all the way round one once and tie a knot………….. how i laughed at the little old lady that tried to get in to make a call 10 minutes later :-)

  23. lisa is awesome. on January 25th, 2010 at 2:25 pm

    lisa - your comment made me actually LOL.

    and i <3 this idea, i hopeee we see more of these around, xxx

  24. This is so quaint! Makes me want to move to Britain!

  25. A shame that within a week it will be nothing but Grisham, King and the like books.

  26. Only the f**king English could line up and wait for such stupidity. Seriously, when I see that many Brits in a line I’m overcome by a powerful urge to mow the pasty c**ts down with an Uzi.

  27. thats not gay at all. it is escentric though!

  28. A blue police box would totally be better Dave. Everyone WHO’s anyone knows they’re bigger on the inside!

    ;p

  29. wow lot of comment trolling

    it’s a nice idea, very charming

  30. your comments on the homosexuality of this idea are very interesting in that they reveal the total lack of imagination that you posess. This is most likely due to the censored, regulated, de-criticalised education system that you have been exposed to - one that has a huge paradox at its very midst in that it is not an education system at all, more a vehicle for making you accept consumerist, identikit concepts and attack anything individual and interesting. well, it clearly has been a ’success’…

  31. Cool idea! even though some idiot keeps trolling this post. i wonder how many poor people in the world would give anything for a computer and internet access and some waste of life just abuses the privilege

  32. Agreed usurper

  33. that’s pretty gay

  34. Love it!
    Could see this idea working in an Ashram or a little village, perhaps a desert island sanctuary untouched by the the likes of Brian, Steve and their ilk.

    NB
    Guys it’s a democracy and I sincerely respect your right to vocalise your opinion.
    No matter how cretinous,inbred,mistaken,and dammit just plain ignorant your opinion maybe.

    NBB.
    Actually Steve your ilk make me want to go postal,however I prefer the H&K MP5 fitted with a sionics noise supressor- hey no sense in disturbing the neighbors,they be reading..LOL

  35. I love you Dave and Shana. :-)

  36. Can’t believe how mean,nasty & foul-mouthed some people are.
    Get a life !

  37. hahah that makes me laugh, good idea though it would be good to be able to go into a little place like that and buy a book or lend one.

  38. That’s totally gay

  39. nice idea, also phil and thezen i love both of your comments. very good points both of you.
    trollers you have the right to your opinion, and to express it. but we have the right to pity your ignorance- so keep on trolling, we could all use another moron poster to laugh at.

  40. Am I gay?

  41. Fags

  42. cats!!!!

  43. That is lovely! I would like to get a phonebooth bookcase for my house. =D

    Also–responding to the trollers is giving them the attention they want. Just ignore their idiocy, like a bully at school. They go away eventually when you do that.

  44. @ Steve, “mow the pasty c**ts down with an Uzi”
    Spoken like a true American. It’s no wonder why the majority of the world can’t stand us, as ignorant as 90% of us are. “Those damn Brits, wanting to use a library for reading.” I’m surprised you could string together enough letters to made a coherant thought, Steve!

  45. uh, okay. if this post is “gay”, first of all: why are you looking at it? second of all: if you can come up with a good enough reason for the first one, answer me this; why would you take the time to comment on it just to say it’s gay and make everybody else endure your stupidity? next time, just click the stumble button again or click on the random post button, that way no one else has to deal with your comments.

  46. That’s totally lesbian

  47. The only reason I read the coments is for the random trolls!

    Why should I care about what a bunch of morans that I will never meet (and hopefully never will) think about this post? Bring on the trolls!

    Its not so much the people doing the trolling which I find so funny, because lets face it “this is gay” lacks imagination. Its more the responses from the trolls! What do you think you guys are doing!? do you realy think you are going to make the troller wet his pants or cry himself to sleep just because you can write some sturn words?

    “OMG someone dosent agree with my thoughts that this post is gay, I feel so ashamed, I must end my life now!”

    Everyone, keep up the good work! FREEDOM OF SPEACH!

    P.S. This is gay, anyone reading this, Including my self is gay. Infact, everyone who has ever lived and their children and their childrens children are gay! Except the Pope, hes just a peado!

  48. “You could put more books in there if the library were a blue police call box, instead, because those are much bigger on the inside. - Dave”

    LOL that is one of the best posts on this and I have a feeling some people didnt get it. I pray you are referencing Dr. Who…

  49. I live in Brighton.
    I thought that red telephone boxes had antique value.
    Some time ago I was quoted 300 pounds for one.
    You did well to buy one for one pound.
    But then there are the transportation and installation costs.
    Telephone boxes weigh a ton and need a crane to set them up.
    Well done anyway.

  50. I think everyone did get it but just no one except you found it remotely funny. Certainly not funny enough to “Laugh out Loud”

    I bet you didnt “LOL” did you?

  51. I must declare, and to no detriment to you and to make you reply in an angry fashion of rage, this specific article is homosexually inclined.

  52. thats fake and gay. lulz i can trolls 2.

  53. thats like sooooo gay.

  54. That’s an awesome idea!

  55. Many fine things come in small packages, including libraries. Outstanding.

  56. The Girl in the Green Scarf on January 27th, 2010 at 2:38 am

    I can’t believe how many people missed the Doctor Who jokes.

    This is still boss, even if blue police call boxes ARE bigger on the inside. And might at some point have contained David Tennant, which is, as everyone knows, most women’s (and quite a few men’s, as well) dream.

  57. COOL,I LIKE.

  58. That’s offaly gay. I can’t stand all the pricks on the web who leave self righteous comments, using words like “cretinous” and “ilk” that I highly doubt they use in their everyday lives, just so they can sound more intelligent and “educated” than others. Sad, pathetic people.

  59. Great idea - about time we used phone boxes properly but it will not stop the e revolution as I found at http://myamazingpeople.com/2009/12/23/apple-mac-pcs-and-charles-babbage/

  60. Hahaha, I couldn’t help but comment on the folks calling this gay. That’s hysterical to me. “Mmm… Books be gay thing. Gay thing are baaaaad.” They didn’t just shrug their shoulders and move on, they felt so strongly that they HAD to voice their opinion that books in a phone booth are… incredibly… gay. I personally don’t get it, seems like a long line for a small selection of books, but hey… Whatever floats your boat. I don’t attack folks cause they read, that’s absurd.

  61. Oh, what a delightful idea! All the brightness and joy it must bring to those goodhearted peapo.. mmm..
    Come to think about it it’s kind of gay

  62. Loved those classic old red phone booths as much as I love books. What a great idea. Really inventive and fun! Bravo!

  63. This is absolutely amazing.

  64. Books and reading are gay gay gay!!!

  65. If you live in the good old USA, like I do, you would have learned to disregard these comments which are only meant to aggravate people. When a person drinks alcohol to excess, as they do here, they get to a point where a logical exchange of conversation dies, and is replaced by continually repeating the same phrase, replacing all communication. We, here, eventually learn to go about our business and ignore them. There is no cure, unless they stop drinking and after many years they may or may not return to normal. But anyway, get beyond it, as the person in question is most likely working out latent homosexual tendencies. Thanks.

    Hopefully, the phone booth may generate other possible ideas of sharing and ‘community’

  66. wtf, clearly photoshopped. i can tell because i am 15 and have had lots of shopping experience and phone boxes dont have books in them.

  67. This is another way to look at the concept of reuse, reduce, and recycle… lol great concept … i wondered how long it took until people just started to take the books away and not return them … lol :P

  68. Это очень интересные фото. Я занимаюсь рекламой. Изготовление вывесок и наружной рекламы в Москве.

  69. @TOMTOM

    What about phone books?!!

  70. The comments posted were far more entertaining than the actual article. It’s so enlightening to find people who feel that they have to protect the integrity of a process with such gusto.

  71. Why is it that so many people have to use words that describe homosexuality to put down this eccentric idea. It really shows how small and unintelligent people are when they misuse words. Honestly if you don’t like it call it strange, lame, or dumb but please stop abusing words and their meanings. It honestly just tells people how unintelligent you really are!

  72. Honesty is requiered to be able to enjoy of all the good ideas that we can have let’s be honest! It’s a beautiful idea, well maybe for people who loves knowledge.

  73. All those guys reading and queueing and stuff are gay bitchmonkeys.

    (I hope my cool trolling gets me a girlfriend)

  74. Tezen that was probably the best post I’ve ever seen and am duly impressed with your knowledge of H&K. It warms my heart to see people know things like that.

  75. It is more than slightly off putting to me that there are people who believe the idea that having a unique place to go and be part of the exchange of ideas and words is “gay.” what is even more upsetting to me is the fact that the people who are find this idea unappealing lack two main things 1. the appreciation for people who do love to read and grow in knowledge and 2. the vocabulary to not use derogatory language. I concur, maybe if you read a little bit more you may find that you don’t come off looking less intelligent than the idea you tried to insult.

  76. Where can you buy a phone booth for a quid - if anyone knows pls let me know

  77. Don’t feed the trolls

  78. They are lined up for the photoshoot regarding this news story. They obviously don’t line up like this on a regular basis! They’re not bloody idiots.

  79. Very clever. It’s a shame that anything like taht near me wouldn’t last.

    We recently had the “littlest art gallery” in a disused phone box in cradley west midlands.

    A local artist who lived opposite was fed up of seeing the eyesore and decided to showcase her work inside.

    Sadly it has been removed.

    Это может быть хорошей идеей в некоторых из окрестных деревень в отдаленных уголках России и Индии и Тибете. Вполне вероятно, что нечто подобное было бы оценил.

    This may be a good idea in some of the surrounding villages in remote parts of Russia or India or Tibet. It is likely that something similar would be appreciated.

  81. Charles - Чарльз on January 29th, 2010 at 1:51 pm

    Oh yeah, I’m a Yank, not all of us are idiots. From my viewpoint the vocal majority are brainwashed buffoons. And because of the large number of ignorant brainwashed bigots, and religious nuts I often feel a strong urge to immigrate.

    Ах да, я янки, не все из нас идиотов. С моей точки зрения вокальной большинство мозги скоморохов. И из-за большого числа невежественные мозги фанатики и религиозные орехи я часто чувствую сильное желание иммигрировать.

  82. [...] only does Great Britain have very small houses, now they claim to have the smallest library in the world, [...]

  83. What the crap! Where the hell is Superman going to change now? There’s a fucking crap load of dirty, smelly books in here now. CRAP.

  84. Please monitor the comments.It is sickening to read the comments of sick(mentally) people.

  85. “In times of change, learners inherit the earth, while the learned find themselves beautifully equipped to deal with a world that no longer exists.” -Eric Hoffer

    You can take that one any way you like children.

  86. Hahahahaha! The article was quaint, if not overly awe-inspiring. It’s a great idea, though not feasible in most neighbourhoods I imagine. Certainly not mine - the books and booth would be stolen within a month, and I’m being optimistic with the time frame :)

    The comments posted are…. interesting to say the least.
    Firstly, the gay thing. Well, for starters, the original meaning of the word Gay is happy, playful, wanton, flambouyant etc. It is a rather gay idea by that definition (minus the wanton i suppose). Homosexuals begun being referred to as Gay because of a tendency to behave in said manner. Sad how the english language has been abused and distorted so much, primarily by Americans.
    Next, it’s utterly hilarious how quickly folks have risen to the bait. Instead of discussing/commenting on the above article, in the way of most comment posts i read, it has become an arguement about whatever silly irrelevant comment has been made, followed by further baiting by the troller, leading to eventual slagging by both sides ie. bad Americans, stupid Brits etc etc. So entertaining i almost had to remind myself what the original article was about that I’d just read.
    I also think it’s pretty obvious that folks are lining up for the sake of the photoshoot, however I also can imagine that in the right setting, this would be a very popular idea.
    Finally, very funny comment about Superman, even though the wording lacks eloquence. I have to admit, when I saw the picture, my first thought was the same - where is Superman going to change now?!

    Happy trolling to the folks who will continue to do the best they are capable of (Gay has one whole syllable and three differnet letters to remember in the right order after all, so they’re doing well); best of luck to those trying to make them realise their idiocy (it won’t work - you can’t educate sheep - but I wish you luck anyway) and congratulations to those intelligent enough to form an opinion about the actual article and make a relevant comment :P

  87. Very thought provoking and interesting.

  90. honestly in five minutes everything would be stolen here in Turkey.

  91. As the newspaper reporter who put the story of the phone box library to the world in his paper, after a very lovely correspondent wrote a story about it for me in October, can I just say how delighted I was to find it again while stumbling.
    And lads, If you think reading books and sharing the joy of them is gay, you got a heck of a lot to learn about homosexuality. Books by Armistead Maupin, now THEY’RE gay…

  92. Oh yeah, and of course they lined up for the photograph - People in Westbury aren’t that desperate for culture. There are 300 or so souls in the village, and the library is visted 10-20 times a day.

  93. nothing good to read on January 30th, 2010 at 7:30 pm

    So….what happens when people bring books that no one wants to read? Eventually you will just have 100 books that are boring and no one wants. A book swap is a good idea for intelligent people who can make it work. However, there are a lot of greedy people who will bring all their boring unwanted books and take all the good interesting ones for themselves. This idea is definitely flawed seeing as how its so small scaled. If maybe you were to take an old train station and turn it in to a book swap it would be way more successful, or at least thats my opinion. I also live in America and unfortunately quaint ideas like these would fail easily because of the incompetence of my peers.

  94. What a cool idea! I assume these are being used in counry areas, not in larger towns. I think it’s a great way to bring books to those who may not be able to easily get to a library.

  95. really cool idea. I agree the commenter above me you can exchange books easily. Thanks for the amazing post and informative website.

  96. Funny how you assume all the trollers are uneducated buffoons because of what they type. Isn’t it just as likely that some of these are highly intelligent people who are so intellectually unchallenged at work and at home they felt the need for a bit of excitement by putting the cat amongst the pigeons? What better way to do that than to act the idiot!? One thing that people are united in is a hate of idiots! :)

    Us trollers are providing a service and uniting the people of the world! We should be nominated for the Nobel peace prize!

    Where’s the fun in writing seriously about such a boring story!?

    ……On second thoughts….. we are all intellectually challenged homophobic morons who’s fathers are our mothers brothers. Completely ignore what I just said, I think I must have had a funny five minutes! It’s such a strain pretending to be intellectual

    BOOKS…..GAYYYY!!!!

    Ahhh me fell batter noo

  97. Professor Eloquence on February 1st, 2010 at 11:57 am

    GAY

  98. I find this entire concept homoerotic.

  99. Hmmm, very gay.

  100. Don’t try to teach pigs to sing,they get upset and you get covered in crap!

  101. A great concept in these days of dying reading habits.
    The recycled books will live for ever

  102. [...] via Quiet at the Library | Offbeat Earth. [...]

  103. Very cool article and a good use for an old phone box. I wish there was some moderation of comments on this site, to eliminate the rubbish left by morons.

  104. Sweet! btw, what’s with this “it’s gay” thing? That’s just ignorant.

  105. Just imagine how many books would fit in the TARDIS!

  106. So gay, really!

  107. @nothing good to read:
    People are different. What you like might not be what I like and visa versa.
    Good community spirit that 99.9999999% of the world is missing.
    Respect!

  108. [...] If you like books and/or red phone booth look at THIS!!! [...]

  109. Awesome! Never seen anything like it:-)

  110. I dont get it….I love the idea, and wish one of these was near me, but CAN SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME WHATS HOMOSEXUAL ABOUT THIS?

  111. This is great. It would be ideal at airports for when people board and step off to go to another plane or wait for a connection. They could drop the book they finished and pick up another for the next leg. A great idea anywhere.

  112. BTW, as a teen neice of mine said when I asked her what ‘gay’ meant when she used it to define something in a clothing shop she said it had othing to do with being gay or putting gays down. She said it meant “silly, dumb, not with it or uncool”. We had similar idiotic words when I was a teen. Groovy meant cool, or neat or very terrific. and gross was awful, hip was the best and hep was fifties slang for the same thing. Words and their meanings change all the time. Remember Rad, or chilly or other words designed to confuse adults and label you as in or out of it. LOL

  113. What a marvelous idea! I’m always looking for a good read and would love to leave previously enjoyed books for others.

  114. This is so straight.

  115. Can anyone tell me when exactly the word gay went from meaning: having or showing a merry, lively mood

    to meaning: of, indicating, or supporting homosexual interests or issues: a gay organization.

    and also, who decides these things?

  116. It’s rellay an extreme positive way exchanging resource we have.

  117. I’m a sheep, and quite annoyed Bed said I cannot be educated. I’m highly intelligent and have several degrees. I am not, however, a homosexual sheep. I feel so discriminated against…

  118. er…”Bec”… Perhaps I can’t be educated, now that I think of it…

  119. gay

  120. I liked the romantic part of it But.. hold on.. dont you guys think its a complete waste of time for those who are waiting outside. 100 books!! Oh dear. For one of the richest countries in the world this is A SHAME. 1 pound is all they got for a library in a town where people are starving to have book in their hands.. it seems a bit too cheep and humorous to me rather than “kewel” or “awwzum”..

  121. Love this! Preserving the dying classics…beautiful.

  122. Great idea. I do agree with those that stated it would be stolen clean in half hours time in the U.S., however.

    As for my fellow countrymen who think calling it “gay” is humourous - get a life! My God, you truly make me loathe this place! Must be a large group of Southern inbred rednecks who just managed to figure out how to get online. You represent EVERYTHING that is truly crap about this nation today…..thank you SO much for showing your cretinous disposition to the rest of the world! I would apologize for you but, quite frankly, there’s not a single one of you that are worth the effort!

  123. Only Nazis would create a book exchange like that.

  124. If I were visiting England, I would go out of my way to stop at this lovely little library, and would save up my “read and release” travel books for the occasion.

    And as long as it’s MY travel fantasy, I’d then take my new books to the nearest tea shop, and cozy in for an hour’s nibbling and reading.

    Thanks for sharing this!

    Charlotte

  125. would the blue box be less gay?

  126. It’s totally gay.

  127. Actually, the U.S. does have several things like this in different small towns, for everything from exchanging books to actually buying meat on the honor system. Theft has never been a major problem, and as far as I know all of them are still in operation today. 20/20, or one of those news programs, did a story on a bunch of them about a year or so ago. When the implication of trust is made, people are very hesitant to break that trust, especially when a sense of community ownership is present. In other words, they’d generally break into someone’s locked home before they’d ever go and steal from something like this. So, stop bashing on something you don’t know about. Clearly, it would NOT be stolen in the U.S., and you can’t say it would be anywhere else either, unless and until you actually try setting one up to see.

  128. We don’t have this kind of library in Brazil, but we have a incentive to change books in the streets. We can to leave a book in any place - a bar, a bench or a phone box - and anyone can take it to home. This person must to return and can to leave another book in the same or another place.

  129. Seriously,One of d koolest thing i hv evr read..as m a bookworm..wud luv to c such kind of activity in mumbai or atleast in ma area..cheers

  130. Keep up d gud work..

  131. That would last about ten minutes in the states, a sad testament - our crime epidemic.

  132. hahaha do people not seem to realise the more you give out to people for making silly comments the more they will keep goin??

    also hate to point it out but using fancy words to put down others doesnt make you better then them everyone has a right to say wat they will!!

    on another note its a clever idea like but its jus a mini library??
    only without out gettin notices for late books!!

  133. Crime epidemic??

    Is crime catching or somthing?

    epidemic: a widespread outbreak of an infectious disease; many people are infected at the same time.

  135. @ Dave

    Hehehe, once might even say “SILENCE IN THE LIBRARY”

  136. As an American, I find this idea very quaint but as an avid reader who enjoys books, whether their content in educational or “gay” as some of the comments proclaim them to be, I think that this idea is wonderful and while yes in most cities it America they would either be stolen just to do so or they would be burned because of the common man’s ignorance in what these items contain. To those of you who hate reading but are educated enough to understand the comment I am about to make please consider this….

    Futurism was a movement that occurred just before WW1 and they sought the advancement of technology and look where that got us.

  137. This is definitely the future of library although it is difficult to be implemented in every town.

  138. Amazing idea, and I’m glad it’s working for them, in most places this sort of thing would be destroyed.

  139. jammer dat we niet van zulke telefooncellen in Nederland hebben om boeken neer te zetten.. Geweldig idee!!

  140. That would be the coolest thing to see as you drove down the street. I would love to have that in my town. It would even be a cool bookcase for the house.

  141. Zishan khan siit computer education centre bhinga shravasti

  142. so i lost count of how many people stated that this way “gay”. How original of you all. you use a word that in its original meaning means glad and happy. i have to say, i do think this is pretty ‘”gay” in the sence that, if i had a phone box libary in my town, i would be pretty happy about it, and glad, that somebody had bother to spend there time, money and energy on the helpig and educating the community. but then again if education was high your list of prioritys then perhaps “thats gay” wouldnt have been the first thing your small mind could come up to comment on such an original and nifty idea as this one.

  143. C’est une idée grandiose, gaie (!) et à imiter le plus souvent possible

  144. THIS IS SO F-ing GAY!!!

  145. i lovvvve it :) wheres it at?

  146. i lovvve it :) wheres it attt?

  147. I disagree to the fact that its the smallest library of the world. Coz if you come down to India, there are smaller libraries than that!

  148. billy bobby gay bill on March 3rd, 2010 at 2:36 am

    ugh! fucking gay

  149. They have that in the states. Its called Redbox.

  150. Superb idea! Wish we could have 1 @ work too.

  151. Thats is so cool, i love it.
    I want one, lol
    snaps for the smallest and coolest libabry in the world :) x

  152. Well I have to say that I am very impressed and inspired by the levels of literacy displayed by some contributors to this thread.
    Keep it up, oh dear, maybe that wasn’t quite the thing to say.

  153. Neat! The smallest Police Station in the States is in Carabelle, FL. It’s a US style phone booth. Wonder what else a phone booth is being used for on Earth?

  154. I like the phonebox library.

    It’s a nice thought that in some parts of the world a small idea can become reality and help put a place on the map. Bravo!

    ps- Trolls, there is more to life than internet porn and WoW. If you read a book occasionally your might learn about something worthwhile, develop your conversation skills and general knowledge and eventually you might even get to have sex with a real live girl. Wow! Your tylenol-addled mother will be so proud.

  155. Everyone will certainly be appreciated.Expect that……

  156. If it had a loo it would be perfect

  157. that is spectacular

  158. Audrie B- I like your idea to bring it to airports.

  159. I would gladlstart someting like this in my area, but I fear it would just be robbed or vandilized

  160. i dont know what the guy was smoking, thats cool…ill have whats he/she’s smoking.

  161. I wish I had one near me. Kinda hard seeing as how I don’t even live in England. Maybe we could have a roaming deux cheveaux.

  162. this is an awesome idea…

    oh and….i hope you all realize that by calling this gay, you are in fact calling it happy, lighthearted, carefree, joyful, etc….

  164. ?? is that upside down ???

  165. O.o

  166. That is the dumbest thing I have ever seen. people in the UK are retarded

  167. the thing that I’m amazed at, is that they bought the whole phone booth for only a pound!
