why haven't the NTA made it an offence to operate in Dublin using my taxi app but without the Dublin licence?
-
Private hire
-
What about accepting taxi fares with a clapped out shitebox masquerading as a limousine?
-
Probably because its assumed that a mytaxi job from (say)meath to Dublin is the extent of the operation carried out by th driver.its also assumed that when the driver makes. the drop in Dublin,he will head back to the county for which he is licenced to work.of course he could also be a multiple area licence holder
-
If someone in Galway phoned a Dublin taxi for a pickup, it's perfectly legal for the Dublin driver to drive over and do the fare. The Dublin driver can't rank up in Galway or take fares off the street.
Maybe the NTA sees MyTaxi as the fancy version of a phonecall since the booking is going through your phone? As long as the non-Dub driver doesn't rank up or stop for street hails, maybe he's not breaking any law?
-
if for whatever reason, taxis in rural counties decided Dublin was where the money is to be made, and they all started working in Dublin at the weekends in huge numbers, result being way less work for taxi drivers with Dublin licence. im sure something would be done about it. it seems like a loop hole as no one is going to ring a taxi in laois for a pick up in dublin but the laois taxi driver can work away in dublin any day of the week he likes. it seems wrong to me anyway.
-
Taxi 1990 that IS what is happening,and has been for years
-
im surprised the Dublin taxi drivers haven't hounded the NTA about this. they should be doing so.
-
They do, T1990... and nothing is done about it as no rules are being broken. As for Dublin drivers protesting... they advertise mytaxi FFS!
-
I made an enquiry to the NTA on this about 18 months ago and posted their reply either here or on Roy’s, in short it is legal for any taxi in Ireland to cover mytaxi work anywhere in Ireland.
-
Post it agin Korky.
-
A taxi can do phone work either from a base or app work any where in Ireland.
I suppose it’s classed as private hire.
-
Post it agin Korky.
Dear KORKY
Thank you for contacting the National Transport Authority.
The SPSV driver licence is issued in respect of an area (county) for which the driver has been proven to have an adequate geographical knowledge. This geographical restriction applies only to the driver when standing or plying for hire, i.e. to the driver of a taxi working a taxi rank or seeking being hailed on the street.
A licensed SPSV driver may only operate nationally under a pre-booked/private hire agreement. Proof of the booking should be kept in the vehicle in the case that the driver is stopped by a compliance officer.
We trust this addresses your query.
If you have any further queries, please contact the SPSV information line on 0761 064 000, alternatively, please visit www.nationaltransport.ie (http://www.nationaltransport.ie) for all information in relation to SPSV licensing and regulations.
I emailed them for further clarification on mytaxi work, which they confirmed were considered prebooked fares.
-
Another quiery I had was about being hailed in another county while heading back towards your licenced county, in the old days this was allowed, they confirmed this is not allowed now.
-
Years ago any job that that was dispatched over radio or phone was deemed private hire and then came along internet and apps.
So it’s irrelevant what area your licensed in.
-
How many of you have picked up outside your licenced area via mybollix? I know I have many a time
-
Here is another aspect to this.have you ever noticed that most of the multi area licenced holders are African.some time ago somebody delved into how they had multi area licences,and the answer was,that because they were being racially abused on ranks in Dublin,they were awarded licences to work other counties as well. WITHOUT DOING A TEST
-
the answer was,that because they were being racially abused on ranks in Dublin,they were awarded licences to work other counties as well. WITHOUT DOING A TEST
why is that? are people less likely to be racist if they don't live in Dublin?

Actually it was t’udder way round. The blicks were being abused in Louth, Meath, Kildare, Carlow etc etc and they got Dublin Licences
-
Actually Balbriggan was outside the old Dublin meter area and was under Louth/Drogheda licencing area. When Dublin area became Dublin County, Balbriggan drivers became Dublin licences. The Wicklow licence option was offered to Dublin licenced drivers at the same time. As Rat pointed out, the old meter area extended into Kildare and Meath but we weren`t offered quid pro quo there.
-
Vikkiz regardless of which way around it was,the fact remains that these people were awarded licences to operate in areas in which they had not done a test for.that is discrimination towards native irish drivers.in addition to that,when these people apply for a taxi licence,they are only vetted from the date of their arrival in this country,unlike irish drivers who are vetted from the date of their birth.another case of blatant discrimination against irish drivers

lol
-
We can’t be discriminated as you say.
It’s only the minority that can be discriminated.
Boss
-
So are you saying that you have no problem with these people not being subjected to the same licensing criteria as native Irish drivers ?
-
Era I’d say that’s a story that grew legs.
Like the ones where the NN left the buggy at the bus stop and sez sur she will get another one from the HSE, or they were giving out free cars.
-

Seriously Jack...the amount of buggys i've seen left at bus stops...the mind boggles!!
-
Well Jack while I agree with you about the buggy stories,this one happens to be true.these people DID claim they were subjected toto racial abuse,and therefore found it impossible to carry out their duties at various rural locations,so the NTA did indeed award them licences to operate in Dublin,and other areas

That's actually a true story, I was on the bus that day. I have mentioned it before over on Roys

Well actually it wasn’t even racial abuse they suffered. The locals, in the locals, didn’t want the non local drivers bringing them home from the local, so the non local drivers weren’t able to make money in their taxi(Not their taxi,someone else’s taxi that they rented, probably a local) The non local drivers complained that the locals were skipping by the non local drivers on the ranks and taking the local drivers and the non local drivers put this down to racism and therefore got licences for other areas
-
Other stories going around sur about NN giving HSE cheques to garages to buy taxis.
-
Jack we all know about these stories,we have all heard them.but I assure you the one about the licences are true,as far as I know,its e en dodocumented
-
NN drivers in Drogheda were indeed given Dublin licences as they claimed they were being abused and being walked past on ranks...i did see the walk past bit myself one night as i was talking to a local driver i know who was sitting about 6th on Peter St rank.....first five lads were of African heritage and pax walked up to said local driver and off he went.

They weren’t being abused though, just ignored.
BIG DIFFERENCE
-
Ignored just doesn't sound dramatic or traumatic enough!!
-
.i did see the walk past bit myself one night as i was talking to a local driver i know who was sitting about 6th on Peter St rank.....first five lads were of African heritage and pax walked up to said local driver and off he went.
if some a$$hole did that and picked me as an Irish driver even though im way back in the queue, i would tell them to get lost.

Kathleen told people it was their choice which taxi they choose....that's a fact!!

yes, i cant stand racists. no doubt you would be listening to them ranting about foreign people the whole way there.
-
maybe Kathleen is a racist as well? ::fds

yes, i cant stand racists. no doubt you would be listening to them ranting about foreign people the whole way there.
...and that's just the driver!!

-
Well I would gladly take the fare .in fscet on the odd occasion I ever got a taxi myself,I made sure it was an irish driver.I make no apologies for supporting my own
-
As one previous poster on Roy’s forum said
“First up the steps with the 6.5k”
Just as well ye didnt pay a 100k

Refugees/asylum seekers can't work. All those black taxi drivers you see are more than likely Irish citizens...just like you :o
Other stories going around sur about NN giving HSE cheques to garages to buy taxis.
If you ascribe intelligence to our civil servants, it's quite a clever move. All those foreigners are now self-employed and not entitled to the dole etc in the future. They're not a burden (too much) on the State. Apart from the cost of a few prams of course!
-
Well said Watty
-
I wonder were you equally as welcoming to them when they were pulling up to the top of the ranks taking the fares from the men trying to operate properly ,or when they started illegal ranks in full view of offical ranks ,and when challenged cried racist ? ,or when they came here and introduced a new kind of moral values into the industry by breaking every rule in the book ?
-

But ya see, the rules weren’t in a book. They were just agreed on between men. So they didnt break too many rules at all.

As Vikkiz says, there ain't no rules written down. So where did they learn them? Off their pale white local comrades perhaps? Sure butter wouldn't melt in your mouth O:-) O:-) O:-)
And, fwiw, I never used ranks - couldn't get on them. So I cruised around and went where the customers were likely to be and was thankful (i.e. nice to them) when I got a fare...
-
They broke the long established rules of moral values,and completely breached the spirit of a long established practice how Irish taxi drivers operated.in some cases they even became aggressive,when challenged on their behaviour,but as usual there is always some bleeding heart who cannot wait to defend them
-
I’m not defending them DM.
But do tell me in which Statute Instrument it says i cannot overtake a taxi whose roof sign is illuminated, while my own roof sign is illuminated???
NONE, these were all unwritten rules, agreements between drivers blah blah blah, but not rules.
I will agree about the pulling in at front of ranks one! But then again, some of the local drivers couldn’t get last off the drivers on the rank and if you’re not last, you must be first.

I very rarely ranked too years and years ago. Folk were lazy and wouldn’t walk to a rank as every 20 seconds there was a taxi passing by
-
Nobody said these were rules that were written in law,but they were moral understandings in which taxi drivers collectively adhered to.it all worked till these people came here,and changed all that,and then shouted racist when challenged
-
Morals? You're the committed Christian, aren't you? Even the Catholic religion lets people misbehave as long as they say sorry afterwards (in confession) lol

Huh
1. Often used when surprised by or in disbelief of something
-
Why would you be surprised ,I have made enough comments on here clearly stating my feelings about these people ? You say its an expression of disbelief ? So you find it surprising,and disbelieving that I should want to protect the Irish public from people who are not properly vetted ?
-
Not sure how long you’re in the taxi game but when you decided to put a taxi on the road you knew what you were getting into.
As for protecting the public I’m sure they can look after themselves.
-
Im in the 13 years. As for looking after themselves,tell that to the women who have court actions pending against foreign national taxi drivers.not withstanding that,there is security,and knowledge criteria laid down in law ,which in not being adhered to by the authorities,and this is because of their absolute fear of the immigrant council of Ireland
-
Ok so

Ah yes, I member it well, we`d drive ahind each other and keep the code. Then ET in his 200L and The Pirhanas ripped the hole outta the whole lot of us.
Only one Black lad in sight back then, and a 100% gent too, Black Jack. ( Soz 2, Blessed Martin was driving too, Ola was still a couple of years away )
1980`s.
The no overtaking on M1 into Kesh is still relatively adhered to. It used to start at Whitehall/ Collins Ave junction, now it`s sorta tunnel exit outwards on a sliding scale.
-
I was driving into town, down Frederick St one night, headin for the Gresh, 2 am. Summer night. Windows open. All of a sudden I was in a life or death battle with Pirhana 1 on Frederick St. He gunned past me on my right. I shouted out the window "TAXIIIIII" . He anchored his Jetta. Easy peasy.
-
I love hearing them stories...I just shout abuse a them lads.No need to be bating around.All it does is add more stress to your shift.
Years ago I was coming in past UCD already on the limit and out of nowhere a Nigerian lad in an E-class was attempting to overtake me with me light on absolutely flying...I could see him move to the extreme inside lane.So I managed to get into the middle lane and hold him behind another car all the way into Upper leeson street.Some screaming and extra horning he was doing.Someone told me he got a driving ban in the end.I'm ashamed of some of the stuff I did during the bad years.Only a little bit though.Just happened to be a Nigerian lad but I'd probably do worse if he was Irish.I'm gonna get spikes on me wheels for the next downturn.Maybe some tyres on me doors like the little tugboats have..
-
Well I have found in my time in the game,that you have as much chance of getting a fare by going slow,then you have when your booting it.
-
The guys who destroyed this game were all Irish, Dalyer, but you don't want to hear it or can't accept it. When you have tramps looking to skin people for 50 punts to get from Stephen's Green to Stillorgan and Kilmacud on a freezing cold night in pre-dereg Dublin it's bound to go tits up...........no radio companies or App providers involved. Ironically, if it wan't for short-thinking Neanderthals like them......you wouldn't be in the game either. Thank your lucky starts for the morons in P & T and Dublin Docks and the old ESB who held the ordinary public to ransom to line their own pockets........camaraderie my Dublin arse! I'm Alright Jack is the mantra.
-
To be fair LL, anecdotal evidence suggests that immigrants have a far higher propensity to rape/murder riders than those of us who are Irish by accident of birth. While media reports and court convictions might suggest the contrary it's extremely important to understand that rape is the least reported crime of all crimes and that murder victims never report being murdered.
-
All anecdotal in the end, but a quick visit to the Lower Deck of an evening might have led one to believe there wasn't a Taximan working.

Actually Balbriggan was outside the old Dublin meter area and was under Louth/Drogheda licencing area. When Dublin area became Dublin County, Balbriggan drivers became Dublin licences. The Wicklow licence option was offered to Dublin licenced drivers at the same time. As Rat pointed out, the old meter area extended into Kildare and Meath but we weren`t offered quid pro quo there.
That's actually a true story. Whatever the attitudes of locals outside of the city licences were not granted on the grounds of perceived racism. In fact, SB used to chase a couple of immigrant drivers with Laois licences who regularly worked Dublin illegally. They tried everything, including crying racism, to get Dublin licences. In the end they got them by passing the new Kathleen Doyle test after failing several times previously. Ironically, SB now advertises mytaxi who are responsible for enticing millions, no more than that, thousands of immigrant drivers up from the bog to work Dublin!
When the county system was introduced all Louth/Meath licence holders became entitled to Dublin licences because their original licensed area included parts of County Dublin. The principal was established by Balbriggan, Rush and Skerries drivers who held Louth/Meath licences simply because Barbriggan Garda station was within the Louth/Meath district at that time. Hence without such a provision men would suddenly be banned from working the areas they always worked and were always licensed to work. As BhT notes the same principal allowed many Dublin drivers (myself included) claim licences for Wicklow without sitting any test. In fact the lads who's licences came up for renewal earliest (e.g. your man who used to run The Spar Shop forum) were granted Wicklow and Wexford as that was all one area under the old system.

I've often thought that you're just taking the piss with the apparent opposition to multiculturisation. When push comes to shove you seem to fight the corner of the immigrant really e.g. your support for mytaxi who have extended radio work to immigrants and who encourage immigrants from all over the country to work Dublin, etc...

We've had unofficial ranks as long as I'm driving... long before entry liberalisation and even more longerer before we had significant numbers of immigrant drivers.

Rules for Radicals and School for Scoundrels.
-
yes, i cant stand racists. no doubt you would be listening to them ranting about foreign people the whole way there.
Play with them. The conversation will always involve dem blax not having a clue where they're going... just agree and chip in that it's a fuckin' disgrace that they ever got licences and it's all that Kathleen Doyle cunt's fault... and ask for directions at every junction!
-
Socialists and bleeding heart luvvies have changed the whole concept of racism........never heard the Paddy(pejorative term) or Royston(pejorative term) complaining about being discriminated against in London or Birmingham during the post WW2 rebuilding of England. What about the poor Tadhgs lining up to get a day's labour in the Glasgee Shipyards to feed their 19 way'uns?
-
True enough, we just got on with it and took the jobs they let us have. The West Indian's over on the mainland were pretty much the same, happy go lucky men working menial jobs. It's the following generations that start the problems as some get educated and others don't. I think we have learned a little from that, at least insofar as the black schools get all the funding these days. If anything, we are over-compensating and, in fact, discriminating against ourselves. I'm aware of white schools that have been using prefab type "temporary" accommodation for twenty years yet there seems to be no shortage of money to build the "educate apart" black schools.
-
Real Racism, in my opinion, is what Victoria did to the Irish and what Herr Schicklgruber did to the Roma, Handicapped and Jews. The harsh reality of inverted racism is what is being foisted upon us by our "own".....the destabilisation and deconstruction of our former Republic.
-
All them educate the foreigner schools were built for the darkies

Thanks to the eminent Irishman, Sir Koudenhove-Kalergi Sutherland.
-
100% correct lippy.I dont like speaking ill of the dead,but this man,along with a lot of other multi state,and EU pension holders like Bertie,John Bruton etc etc with their 4 ,or 5 pensions each are constantly telling us to welcome foreigners here,so they can come and take our fukking jobs,,and these political bastards face no threat to their livelihoods

We've had unofficial ranks as long as I'm driving... long before entry liberalisation and even more longerer before we had significant numbers of immigrant drivers.
When I got me A badge chromed bu Kit the Chromer ,Leeson Strasse was a well established unofficial along with Zhivago`s, Barbarella`s Maxim`s , McGonagles , Parnell Square etc etc. Depended on the Local Garda boss`s humour whether ya got shifted or not.

Doesnt justify operating illegally,especially when drivers trying to operate their taxis legally are loosing out as a result not to mention the fact thats its also unprofessional

......i did see the walk past bit myself one night as i was talking to a local driver i know who was sitting about 6th on Peter St rank.....first five lads were of African heritage and pax walked up to said local driver and off he went.
if some a$$hole did that and picked me as an Irish driver even though im way back in the queue, i would tell them to get lost.
I wouldn't, I would take the fare fer Two reasons, Firstly because NTA law states that as a consumer a passenger may take any Taxi of their choice and Secondly as explained to me One night by a Polish driver; If a black customer walked past 5 white drivers and sat in to a black Taxi drivers cab, do you think the black driver would direct the passenger to the front of the rank ?
https://www.transportforireland.ie/wp_super_faq/do-i-have-to-take-the-first-taxi-on-a-queue-at-the-rank/ (https://www.transportforireland.ie/wp_super_faq/do-i-have-to-take-the-first-taxi-on-a-queue-at-the-rank/)
"Do I have to take the first taxi on a queue at the rank ? 13.6.12.
No. At a taxi rank the passenger may choose to travel in a taxi other than the one at the head of the queue."
-

Never said it did DM, just pointing out that it was happening long before any influx into the game.
-
who knows if a black driver would do as i would, everyone if different, there are some very nice black taxi drivers in the game. skin color does not mean anything, there are some horrible white taxi drivers, some who shouldn't have a licence. if a customer skipped a black driver for me because i am white, i would have any amount of reasons to refuse him/her. just because the NTA say a customer can take any taxi in the rank, doesn't mean i cant be choosy about who gets in my taxi. i could say if questioned about it that i thought the customer was drunk, being aggressive etc
-
Any time I want a taxi and I go to rank,I ALWAYS walk past any driver who I believe is not Irish.for me it has nothing to do with wether the black guy in front is a nice fella or not,for me its about supporting my own
-
that is a funny attitude. a nice black taxi driver might find a wallet in his car and go to a lot of trouble to get it back to its owner, a white driver who is a cunt would keep it for himself. a black taxi driver might take a chance on your drunk daughter who says there is money in the house for him, a white taxi driver might tell her to get lost and leave her alone walking on a road in the middle of nowhere at night.
-

That's debatable. It's customary and was long before you joined the trade. If you thought you were going to come in and change how we've always worked you were sorely mistaken. There were unofficial ranks all over Dublin's suburbs too, outside bars, chippers, etc...
-

My opinion fer what it's worth was once stated over the radio airwaves of Neil Prenderville's morning radio show, I said Live on air; "The Black Taxi drivers in Cork have a real bad reputation, No one gave it to them, they earned it all by themselves", and nobody at all came back at me fer that comment.
-
Well rat I can only conclude from your comments,that you fully support illegal taxi operation,fully support unprofessionalism,fully support AND encourage illegal ranks,etc etc

I used to chat to yourself once upon a time illegally ranked outside an establishment in Clontarf

Really, must have been your identical twin brother then, even though you don’t have one.
-
Well tou can say what you like,but im happy in the knowledge that I have not ranked illegally in about 10 years.in disappointed that you are trying to make me out to be a liar,but if you have any proof to the contrary,I invite you to post it on I dont mind

So now you are saying you haven’t illegally ranked in about 10 years, meaning you did at one time illegally rank.
Did you drive an imported Skoda Superb? Blue in colour IIRC
-
Absolutely, DM. On my first night I used the Lesson unofficial and for a good few years I used the Coolock unofficial and occasionally the Swiss unofficial in Santry, back when Molloys had the Swiss, it was a decent boozer then not the shithole it is now. These days I don't rank much at all as I work almost exclusively for mytaxi but when I do it's on an unofficial stand, either the McDonalds (Swords) unofficial or the Cafe Bar unofficial.
-
Yes,and yes .and I stopped when I realized it was both illegal,and unprofessional.I have a pain in my bollox pulling in on the rank outside PWC on the north wall,every night,and the illegal scumbags come along and stop right at the boat and illegally taking the work meant for the offical rank
-
So I have on occasion spoke to you outside an establishment in Clontarf while illegally ranked!!
Are you like a Born Again Taxi Driver, is there somewhere we can go and get absolved from all our previous taxi sins and start over again??
Instead of pulling onto the PWC rank or illegally ranking why not keep circling the block, u turn at convention center, then u turn at central bank

It seems to me you can offer no proof whatsoever of tour earlier assertions,hence to reason for tour stupid fukking sarcastic reply

Customer service, DM. When I want a taxi from Kyles in Coolock Village to Tonlegee Road should I walk to Notrthside SC, further than my intended journey in the opposite direction or walk a couple of miles past my destination to Donaghmede SC? ... bearing in mind that I'm too mean to ring mytaxi or C2K...
-
There is an OFFICAL rank in coolock village,right outside the scouts hall rat,but im sure you know that anyway seen as how you claim to be from coolock
-
The official stand is only used as an overflow for the unofficial stand at night. On the odd occasion that there is cars on it they're parked facing the wrong way and they won't take a job from it... they just tell you to go to the unofficial stand across the road... which is the queue they are actually in. Where should I walk to if I'm in the A
1I in Artane after ignoring the cars unofficially ranked outside the side door or the Goblet?
-
And therein lies the problem.advocates for illegality
-
... informality not illegality. The customer wants a taxi because he doesn't want to walk, simples.

Listen DM, you use a handle on this to keep yourself anonymous, as I have done too.
Using the power of words I have worked out who you are. I could simply ask are you Mr joe blogs but I won’t as you like to think none of us know you
I’ve worked out who you are and in fact you use the Irish spelling of your surname which contains O’ and if you can’t handle that I know who you are then that’s your problem.
I have spoken to you outside the Yacht Bar on numerous occasions, yes it might be years ago but you were still there. You drove a blue Superb, and you were in discussions with the crowd you bought it from in the North to work with Taxi Drivers to import more cars for them, making the process easier.
You had a dispatchers sticker on your roofie, even though you weren’t with one and said you would take it off when the county letters came out(don’t know if you did or not)
You give out about illegal ranking but have done it yourself!!!!!!
You claim to make a very decent amount of a night when others say it shite!!!!!!
You go on about being a patriot and looking after our own first, but import a car from the UK!!!!!!
You go on about our heritage but support a foreign game!!!!!!!
As Rats and BHT have said, illegal ranks were rampant even before dereg
-
I think DM does be winding us up a small bit, Vik. Behind the patriotism and opposition to multiculturisation lies a man who supports mytaxi (a German firm) over Irish dispatch firms, noting that the German firm employs more immigrant drivers than all the Irish firms put together... and encourages immigrants from all over the country to work Dublin... and uses immigrants driving clapped out shiteboxes masquerading as limousines to cover taxi fares up above in Dublin... etc...
-
Vikkiz are you having a fukking laugh or summit ? Im not trying to disguise who I am ,I dont give a bollox what you think tou know about me. There is no need for your fukking cloak and dagger shite or trying to make out I want to remain anonymous . My name is PAUL O BEIRNE ,and I d dont give a fukk who knows .tell the daily fukking mirror for all I care,so go fukk yourself

I think so too RC, with his I am holier than you because I don’t rank illegally bullshit, and blames the non Irish born taxi drivers for starting them up, when in fact yo7 and Bubba have admitted the Irish Irish drivers pre dereg had illegal ranks here there and everywhere. Oh and he supports MyTaxi but won’t support an Irish Radio Company( infact despises and hates them all and wishes them all to collapse)
DM,
No need to shout it from the rooftops, we all know who you are but none of us said who you were. In fact a lot of us know and have even met each other at different times over the years. We have good craic when we meet up,
Maybe you will come along next January and have some beverages with us all
-
Leave it out lads............it's an asylum for frustrated aul morons. There's no need to go all Spook.ie on any of us.........
-
Yes,and yes .and I stopped when I realized it was both illegal,and unprofessional.I have a pain in my bollox pulling in on the rank outside PWC on the north wall,every night,and the illegal scumbags come along and stop right at the boat and illegally taking the work meant for the offical rank
Don't be playing the (https://i.postimg.cc/G9TSJ6W4/Snow-White.jpg) (https://postimg.cc/G9TSJ6W4) card on here DM, It don't work !
-

DM would be more than welcome, I shall be disappointed if'n he doesen't turn up at some stage !
-
Im Im intrigued,what card would that be you are talking about ,hardly the racist card ?

Ive never bean holy... I remember me first confession... I was seven.. And I knew there wasn't a God... I was the only atheist in me class ... Anyway I told the priest a load of shite to wind him up and he said " wait till I get my hands on you ya little cnut, , I'll murder ya"
I never went back....
It's safe to say that the black man broke all the rules of ranking wen 20 million of them
Came here and drove taxis and that they changed the rules for everybody....
It's also safe to say that most of the ranks in town anyway are gone... Dawson Street is gone and now the immigrant and the white trash scum buckets all Park on the official rank on the green to have their coffee and halal heart attack roll and talk about the Irish caliphate in Starbucks and the cops do absolutely fuk all about it..... The rules have changed and if yu don't adapt at least a little then yull be gettin it up the bum all over the place and probably turn to drink wit the stress...
There's an awful lot of cnuts driving taxis
( myself being the exception) that are greedy cnuts and in order to compete ya have stand up to the little cnuts....
Now mytaxi is changing the rules wit clapped out death traps heaps of shite driving around taking food from me gob,
And giving priority to goons wit a tung the length of a donkeys mickey and puttin stickers all over their cars and dangerous driving wit their trigger finger on the phone
Like a gunslinger who walked in to a gay bar by accident...
The gloves are off
I'm off to bed... The full moon has me head fuked ::sleep
-
You were walking divil even back then at the age of 7 ocky ?
-
Are you talking about your drinking buddy’s in Cork last week ?
-
They staged the whole thing, Jack............Belker's arm is fine I'd say.........nothing a good massage from Ting-Tong wouldn't resolve.
-
Probebly got it from Jacking himself off
-
Are you talking about your drinking buddy’s in Cork last week ?
Why didn't ya turn up jack? yu missed a great session... You could of made it up to ken and met the lads.... Lovely murphys... Was like milk and honey....
Kens a lovely bloke... A real genuine nice guy lovely fella altogether so he is
-
Sounds like a good time was had, Jack...you being a Corkonian............

No change of rules... Hail0 started using clapped out shiteboxes masquerading as limousines to cover taxi fares long before it was bailed out by mytaxi. Similarly, ambassadors, priority and the open to all policies predate the bail out.

The Arm is fine, nothing was staged, I posted the photos of the bruise because it was a pretty impressive bruise, I never complained or moaned about the bruise because it is what it is, just a bruise !

You would be more than welcome to join in Firewall, but I doubt Starbucks will be on the agenda.
