I had Noel Dempseys son last night going to trim.the fukking image of the auld fella.listening to the conversation between him and his moth,id say he's a bit of aboyo.his moth accusing him of slapping some other birds arse
-
Dempsey was on the Late Late years ago with his mammy and her belly of pups He came from a big family and said when he first ran for the council all his brothere and sisters and their families registered from his mothers house to vote as you can register from any address you like to vote as long as you only register once .Dempsey,Charlie,Flynn When stroking was seen as a vertue in Politicians they rubbed it in your face .Who remembers tha Low life self serving piece of Shit Tony Gregory put Charlie in power for a coat of paint and some new windows for the people who voted for him .Probably the Biggest waster ever to recieve a vote .Wanted the inner city regenerated so the fucked out the residents and built private appartments that locals cannot afford to buy or rent and created jobs that apart from car park attendent or cleaner locals cant get .Your modern politician is more discreet with his stroke .

Thanks...now I remember the Dick...What do we want...Dempsey out...When do we want it..now
-
Ah the memories
-
We're still working without benefits, Noelly passes GO every week and picks up €3k for his past service to the Republic.
-
To be fair to Noel, he told us the trade wouldn't't recover until the economy recovered. He wasn't wrong.
-
Lego head has worries of his own:

I would just like to dismantle the block head part...but by bit

Was there ever a minister fer Transport that 'we' liked ?

Alan Kelly, I guess.

My favourite AK quote:
"I'm going nowhere"
And he was right!
I wonder is his Bro Declan still involved with the Clintons?

Going nowhere... rofl rofl
-

I think you were kinda on your own with that one Stephen, if memory serves everyone else on the forum hated him.
In hindsight it was AK who got the ball rolling toward getting us somewhat close to legitimate and somewhere close to having a half decent respectable fleet of cars.
-
Well your right Kelly introduced the door stickers with the intention of hopefully getting rid of double jobbers.I think he was sympathetic towards full timers,and he thought this was the way to go.unfortunately it didnt work double jobbers didnt give a fukk about the stickers,and they still donthave.he was the man who also said he wanted us all aligned
-
I wouldn't agree that the door stickers and the increased personal PSV licence cost (13 Euro up to 250 Euro) did not weed out a lot of part-timers, quite a lot of double-jobbing drivers who had 9 to 5's mid week and worked the Joe at weekends packed it in when the door stickers were introduced, the increased PSV and insurance was the final nail in the coffin fer a lot of them.
My mate Korky was the only fella I knew that was totally in favour of the 10 year rule when it was first introduced, over the years I have come around to his way of thinking as I see today's fleet of Taxies in Cork in much better shape than they were 10 years ago.
-
I'm not sold on the ten-year rule as it just means lazy drivers like me are forced to work extra hours to pay for newer motors.But if you were already doing lots of hours you won't see any difference.
At 2k(conservative estimate)a year for a newer motor translates to an extra month every day driver is on the road after expenses to keep a newer jammer.It's all great now while it's busy but it might not always be like this.In fact it won't.
-
Ten years back when I started out the fleet was in a horrendous condition, I know because I drove a lot of them as Rentals, how they passed NCT was a mystery, SGS was in it's infancy and reseal was unheard of. Fleet insurance fer anyone at all was the norm.
Today's fleet is a lot better, top line cars under 10 years old and the exemption 15 year rule cars subject to 6 monthly NCT and suitability.

Agree Ken, I'm subject to the 6 month confession, pain in the arse but as usual its "shit or get off the pot", 07 Avensis still going/in good nic, will run it until it stops or 2022.
-
I'm just a year ahead of ya STC's with me 08 Avensis, but I too plan to trade up in 2022.2
My Joe is worth Scrap today and in 2022 it will still be worth Scrap so I see no need to be bringing a car loan upon myself.
My Joe too is in good nick, I keep it clean and always well serviced, NCT passed, Reseal and Suitability next week, Fingers Crossed.
-
I don't know what you mean by bangers.If a cat passed the NCT it was road worthy.Older cars have more dents and scratches.More stringent suitability could have kept the fleet looking fresh.Plenty if old limos and buses going around twenty years old.
One thing I've learned about taxi drivers is most know sweet fuk all about cars. Mechanically the 2019 Corolla isn't much different than the 2004 Prius but yis all think yer living in the fukking future with a 27k loan to pay off.Bizzare stuff.

rofl Taximen don't know an awful lot about lots of things..........in fairness.

I don't understand ! :(
-
I'm acting the cunt.......nothing to understand........lots of practice I've had at it. Pity the Prius is a bit tight for taller lads. I'd love to have one but my legs are too long.
-
I'll happily admit to care little and know little about many things but as far as me job goes I try to keep informed as much as possible.
-

Whom mentioned 'Bangers' ? That is a figment of your imagination MFH, it didn't happen !
Also what is the 'Cat' reference supposed to relate to ?
-
You said the fleet was in horrendous condition.I'm not in the habit of using flowery language when a banger would fit in nicely.I misspelt car but went to the shop and didn't bother correcting it.But you knew that already.I don't always correct me own posts.

Right ! So me saying the fleet was in a 'Horrendous condition' was me using 'Flowery language' ?
-
You could have said banger, shiteheap , dirtpile, donor car etc..horrendus condition go and fuk off...Mrs. Bucket would be proud of ya.
Anyway I believe you're wrong.Lads not cleaning their vehilces and NCT centers allowing dodgy cars pass out aren't the same as a fleet in shit condition.Just bad enforcement and drivers not giving a fuk.
-

But I didn't use those words, those words were only a figment of your imagination, no one else said them !

Us Dubs are mind readers!!
-
I don't care it's not important Belker,only you do.Life goes on whether you get offended or not.Just because yer mate Korky thinks one thing doesn't make it true.The fleet is newer on paper but our overheads are bigger.So it's not coming without a cost to us.In order for us to drive newer reg motors we need to do more hours.
-

Are youse a Doob Hal ?

Look after yourself and the youngwans up there,
Scarey news every day, my advice would be to;
Get 'Outta Dodge' while the Getting is Good !

100 bucks a week will get you a fairly new car.
Do an extra job a day and it will pay for its self.
Also you will have a smaller tax liability.

A few years ago during the war you could rent an older taxi for a ton a week.How times have changed.

Pre deregulation in Cork just to rent a taxi plate only was over 200 pounds a week.

It wasn't. Those rules were first "proposed" to TAC by Kathleen Doyle during Minister Dempsey's tenure.

Agh'! Mrs Doyle....retired too early ..Never short of new ideas....hope she is coming on her pension and benefits...Lest we forget....Eamonn

Cabron is not a native of Cabra, but a very offensive term for someone.
Also endearing, as in " Hey Cabron, que pasa? 8)
