Good Samaritan Dublin taxi driver comes to elderly lady's rescue as social media search begins (https://www.dublinlive.ie/news/dublin-news/good-samaritan-dublin-taxi-driver-21292039)
A social media search for a kindhearted Dublin taxi driver got underway yesterday after he helped out an elderly lady in an extraordinary way.
A Dalkey woman posted in a local Facebook group, describing the kindness her mother received when she was in a tricky situation on Tuesday. Her mother was left stranded late at night after being let down by a local taxi company for a lift to hospital in Dalkey. The compassionate taxi driver stopped, brought the lady to the hospital, and refused to take any money.
The post said: "By the power of social media we are trying to find a taxi driver who kindly stopped on the main street in Dalkey at 11:30pm last night for my 80 year old mum who was going to St Michael's Hospital. "She was let down by a local company and this taxi driver not only looked after her but refused to take any money from her and we as a family would just like to thank him personally for the kindness he showed in very upsetting circumstances. "We do know that he's not a local driver as he didn't know the area and had come from the Northside."
The post has received over a hundred shares and many have expressed their joy upon hearing the story. One person said: "There are some good people left in the world. Thank God, I hope she's alright bless her."

A bit odd that his brother is released from the chokey and he gets lifted a week or so later,mind you it's unlike him to be so careless,maybe he wanted to be caught as Patrick Hutch walked from his charges.

The same as Cork so !, you would have a better chance of getting a Blowie off Shania Twain than getting a FN cab in the Northside of Cork after midnight on a weekend night !

That's putting it mildly there marko. I'll have to go a little easy on them because there's a few amongst us, octy being one but northsiders are the trash of Dublin Ken. Who could blame them really considering the kips that's all around them. Not a mountain in sight only dodgy parks that paedo's and dealers occupy, Anne's down near octy being only 2nd to the phoenix Park which is just full of pure scum after dark. Interesting fact, Aras an Uachtarain, in the phoenix Park on Dublin's northside, has a Dublin 8 address. It's the only part of Dublin that sits on the northside of the liffey to have an even postcode. Every other part of North Dublin has an uneven number as a postcode. This concludes that not even the president of Ireland wants a northside address because yes, that's how shitty the northside is!
-
North West Dublin is the new Northside lads.Many of the kips of the north side have been made nice and partially gentrified.
Everything from Tallaght all the way to Tyrellstown is where the immigrants love to set up base.Good spots and bad spots everywhere.Dublin is too small to be picky.
-
I'd agree with everything you say there merch except that Tallaght is not northside. It's sits in the tranquility of the south west, nestled lovingly into the Dublin mountains.
-
I know Tallaght fairly well but the liffey isn't the dividing line anymore the way it once was.Tallaght would be kinda South West I suppose.So South West to North West might be a better way to describe the new Northside.All areas are infinity better than Cork.
Changes all time there are even a few black families in Cabra now.30 year's ago they'd have been made feel very uncomfortable.Not by me but that was the way it was.I think I saw a gay pride flag the other day down the road from me gaff.World is changing fast.

Which is the scumy side of Dooblin ? Northside or Southside ?
Southside Ken...Tallaght, clondalkin, ballybrack, ballyfermot, Crumlin, drimnaa, the list is endless of kips are all on the southside .......bring a stab vest if yur comin
-
I suppose you could say West Dublin is the new northside but I'd have to say that north west is infinitely more scummier than the south west. By millions.

Not to mention coolock, ballymun, finglas, ballybough. All shitholes on the northside Ken. Bring a bleedin bazooka

Wud you fuk off wit yourself talkin shite again .....why only the other day a promising footballer was hack to death in broad daylight ......it was on the bleedin news yesterday on the owlones TV across the hall that the postmen refuse to work in that dump anymore an the buses won't go in after dark an by day they need a police escourt ......wud ya get up the yard talking more bollix......have yu nuttin better to do than talk tru yur arse on here every day .....its fukin bad enough the bullies gettin rid of john...an now you coming in to fill the void puttin the
Nail in the coffin of this once fine an informative public forum ....why don't ya bring yur dog for a walk ( shite) or help the fire brigade extinguish a Cople of burning cars in yur garden or do some charity work for all the junkie abandoned kids up yur bleedin "hills are alive with the sound of gun fire " bleedin paradise hell hole dump kip .....
Fuk off annoyin me ::fight

Calm down, fooking hell. Admittedly there are one or two bogey areas around the scenic Southside but for the most part it's just pure bliss. If you ever left that northside gick hole you'd see that. Again, calm the fook down, I'm only stating facts. Like the fact Mickey D wants fook all to do with yis.
-
Off topic but the Johm m appreciation thread is not the place for this...I think John is one of the biggest bullies on here Octy.Just because you might have shared a few pints with him in the past you might be thinking differently.Not many on here had the backbone to push back against him which I found bizzare.
Same thing happened with Dalymount but I felt sorry for him as he was a bit crusty and I noticed he was getting forgetful.John regularly insults anyone who doesn't share his batshit crazy view on the world.Most of which were taken from shitty publications by the way.John never ever apologised once on here and very rarely admitted he was wrong,I'm not sure he ever did..Instead he just doubled down with the bullshit and tried to change the subject.I genuinely believe he gets a buzz from being abused.Bit sick if you ask me.Hope he gets better.He's probably at home in the shed bating his nuts with a lump hammer so he can feel good about the world.

I never met him merc ...don't even know wat he look like ......but i don't see how he bullying anyone ? ...I'm genuinely surprised yu think that ...........as regards his nonsense.....I don't generally read his very long posts on account of me adhd as I find reading exhausting .......iam positive most on here skip most of it .....but wat harm is he doin ?
Honestly I don't get ya ........but anyway I tink he went on a week's holiday an his misses told him to put the phone away .....

But it's not pronounced "jobs" town it's pronounced "joobs" town so that statement makes no sense, as usual.

Oh you again ::) ......How's it spelt ya cretin?
-
'but wat harm is he doin ?'
No harm but the fact that people need to scroll through so much shite to get any information means nobody else bothers joining up and posting.Hopefully John gets his own corner like Ken had.
You'd post something about a battery charger or Freenow or something actually taxi-related and he'd start giving out about the green party and the government in the next post hoping you'd give a bollix.And if you disagreed with him you're a fukking idiot.He wouldn't last 5 minutes down the local without getting a stool across the head.

I'm probably guilty of that meself ....but I get wat yur saying.....thers a time an a place for one's insanity .......
I've often wondered why thers no immigrants on here or new members.......but I get wat yur saying but the Internet does attract nutters ...at least it allows them to be themselves for the most part an gett away wit stuff that for the most part they would be reprimanded for in real life .....
I suppose new blood in here wud be very welcome an I from my interpretation from wat yu say ...the lunatics on here ( I have to include meself in all fairness) may be prohibiting the evolution of the formum an causing it to stagnate an become repetitive, predictable an boring an self indulgent ........
Have to say I agree a change wid be welcome but if I know human apes an especially taxi drivers ......weed prob just attract more lunatics to replace the old ones ...... as me ma used to say ......" be careful for wat ya wish for " .....but a change wud be a good aspiration ::rant

I'd say most of us will still be here even when we're not taxi drivers....moderating in our own special way!!

One of the two exceptions to this rule are the Phoenix Park and Áras an Uachtaráin, which are in Dublin 8. There’s a practical explanation for this anomaly. After the post office and sorting office in James’s Street were built in 1892, it began delivering the mail for the vice- regal lodge in the Phoenix park, since it was much more convenient than the old Phibsboro sorting office. So the park and the Áras got roped into Dublin 8, just as Chapelizod village, north of the Liffey, is in Dublin 20.

Chapelizod is generally forgotten by most .

Can't put my finger on why, but anytime I drive through Chapelizod village I always think that I wouldn't mind living there. It has an undefineable charm.

Yep, I get the same vibe in West Cork and Cornwall .

Yes, went on an inter club rowing trip many years back to Cornwall, Polperro, and Newquay are the standout memories.

I used to row for Commercial Rowing Club back in the 70s..Usually in Eights...Had to lock up the club bar every week...End of story.

Great sport CB, but one needs to be getting at least placed if competing, hard to keep finishing down the field. My rowing was fixed seat, sea going clinker built 4s skiffs.
