Sad young man

[Vikkiz]

Sclass could be all of our granddads 
There was young ones having kids when I was born, ya know the single parent type, getting a house off the social and all that goes with it. And that was in the 80s.
One of yiz coulda been having the Childers early and then your Childers had their Childers early. I knows a few people that were grand parents before they were 40

2 generations? When are you due? Most here are under 50, I'd say or slightly over it.

Some of yiz are old enough to be me Da and some of ye are old enough to be grand dad ffs. I’m still under 40

My oldest daughter is 41, my oldest grandchild is 20.

[weird al wankovitch]

Fuck sakes Bob.. Old enough to be me da!

[SClass]

Fuck sakes Bob.. Old enough to be me da!

A frightening thought

[Vikkiz]

Fuck sakes Bob.. Old enough to be me da!

And Weird Al is older than me

Well done DM. Great respect fer that story.

It actually gaulled me a few weeks ago when the Daily Mirror reported and highlighted all the taxi complaints,
I'm sure your tale won't ever appear in any newspaper and neither will any of mine.
We all as night time taxi drivers also offer a duty of service to the public and the vast majority of us do it on a
nightly basis watching drunk single females to make sure they open their front door before leaving, or anything
and everything else under the sun to accomodate our drunk passengers as best we can, with little or no thanks.
And to see the Daily Mirror trying to slate us was a Slap in de Puss to me !

Over the years as a night time driver I have assisted many in need, much too many too mention,
I ask fer no thanks, I ask fer no payment, but I don't want to be slagged off by the press fer doing it.

To mention just a few;

Assisted in dragging a suicidal young man out of the river Lee one morning.

Assisted in dragging a suicidal man back over the railing of the river Lee another morning.

Flagged down a Tractor one night and requested he take my drunk young female passenger
through the floodwaters to her home.

Kinda refused to let a mature drunk man knock on his ex-wifes home at 4am so as to see
his Seven year old daughter.

Ken sometimes just listening while somebody Ventalates is enough .Dont know how much hot air I listened to and when the passenger gets out they feel better just because we listened .

Nice one.

An old neighbour of mine in Chapelgate was resident Clinical Psychologist in Mountjoy.
When I told him what we listen to on a daily basis - usually for a €7.60 fare - he said " I charge €150 per hour or part thereof for the same".
No wonder he could afford to be an Alcoholic!!
