I'm going to amsterdam in a few weeks, how urgent is it?

I'm not exactly sure what you are talking about but I think magmabooks.com sells them as gift items.

They are big concrete things, sometimes with tiles around the bottom, maybe 9 foot tall and 3 foot wide, people put bill posts on them.

I am in London tomorrow, so I'll try Magma...hehehe

kiosks?

focaccia?

There's a Canadian equivalent near my home: concrete with wooden slats onto which to staple notices. Every Saturday night, someone sets fire to it. By noon on Monday it is completely covered again, with notices stapled onto the burnt levels of previous incarnations.

in germany they called it "litfass-s�ulen"

Here in Denmark we call them "plakats�jler" which translates directly into "poster collumns".
Not too many around these days though.

>(but don't you love the "TAMTAM"?) <

LOL! Yup, it is the butt of all jokes :-)
