+Smart Mart +2 Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 (edited) Wow, excitement around these parts tonight. Two miles away in the next village, residents have been evacuated after a suspect package was found. Apparently it has been there since 2.00pm today yet the local weren't ushered from their houses until much later. The bomb disposal people are on their way from Salisbury to deal with it. The best bit? It's in a phone box with a geocache in it! though the police have said they don't think it is the cache that is the suspect package. Wires have been mentioned whereas this cache is a magnetic nano! My user name is Smart Mart +2, the +2 being my twin 10-year-old boys who live 100 yards up from the cache phone box. It's this one... will update with further news if required. http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?wp=GC276ME Edited September 24, 2011 by Smart Mart +2 Quote Link to comment
+Mad H@ter Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 That phone box could do with blowing up, it's filthy and smells like a public urinal Quote Link to comment
+Dr Evil. Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 Any more news on the phone box? Quote Link to comment
+Unobtainium Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 'E's passed on! This phone box is no more! He has ceased to be! 'E's expired and gone to meet 'is maker! 'E's a stiff! Bereft of life, 'e rests in peace! If you hadn't hid a nano 'e'd be pushing up the daisies! 'Is metabolic processes are now 'istory! 'E's off the twig! 'E's kicked the bucket, 'e's shuffled off 'is mortal coil, run down the curtain and joined the bleedin' choir invisibile!! THIS IS AN EX-PHONEBOX!! I couldn't resist a monty moment Quote Link to comment
+redsox_mark Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 Enjoyed the "Monty moment"... I've not heard nor can find any news on this. I can confirm that that phone box is particularly smelly. It seems most of the phone boxes are used more as urinals than phone boxes these days. My log from that cache was "It was hot and smelly in the box, but fortunately found fairly quickly.". Quote Link to comment
+sTeamTraen Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 Quick, pop out and waymark it before it gets blown up... Quote Link to comment
+keehotee Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?wp=GC276ME Hurray - a CUBA phone box. If we drop them a couple of quid do you think they'd be prepared to take the rest of them out, too? Quote Link to comment
+The Wombles Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 No-one there today when I passed this phonebox, and no smoldering remains either. Apparently this suspect package wasn't blown up Quote Link to comment
SchwenLarson Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 Wow, that's really weird. Glad it turned out the way it did. Quote Link to comment
+Smart Mart +2 Posted September 26, 2011 Author Share Posted September 26, 2011 The whole thing seems really weird. Have only heard half a story of course but it was some sort of remnant of a fight the night before in the pub opposite. It was contained in a rucksack apparently and they sent in the metal dog to blow it up as they still weren't 100% sure what it was. Placed outside the phone box by all accounts. No more information but not as dramatic as it seemed on Saturday night, I'm afraid. Sorry 'bout that, and after all the kerfuffle, we still seem to have a Cuba cache in a smelly phone box!

If we drop them a couple of quid do you think they'd be prepared to take the rest of them out, too? I'm sure I know people in Brizzle that could take these out without any explosives... Not that I would suggest that of course... ;o) Quote Link to comment
