I haven't had a shift like that in years.During the recession I got a job to Cavan and came back in to get town to Barberstown castle plus another ton off the street in between.

I have noticed since I'm working the app more I haven't been out of Dublin much in years.Which means the higher ranked drivers/limos and ambassador scum are getting the good ones.

Strange how it comes togeather if I had juice I wouldnt of went into the Garage .Lady needed smokes .She says to me will you take us to Maynooth and do you mind waiting till I have a smoke ?Maynooth Im thinking ill roll the smoke for you if you like .Always nice when you get something on the return from far far away .Years since I got an easy shift like this .Last one I got was job to Newcastle then got a job from the Lyons hotel to Straffian private party in the hotel I got 6 jobs out of it and the upside was some were going from the hotel to the house but others were returning from the house to the hotel .Homeowner asked would I stick with them until everybody was sorted .Gave me a deuce tip when I was finished .

I dunno who is getting the best jobs, if anyone ?
I'm Ambassador Gold at the moment and all the jobs I see on the pre-book screen in Cork are fer a Tenner to Fifteen Euro.

I did get One juicy one last night at 1.30am fer the First time ever, Donnybrook in Cork going to Dublin airport (on cash account), but then after I hit "Arrived" and saw her Blonde 18 year old photo appear on my screen !!

The algorithm gives better work the more ya work it.Back when I covered more jobs for hailo I was getting juicier jobs.

Cork to Dublin no worth it unless you're getting a job back...How much commission did you pay anyway?

Equate that with the following six bad nights and you have an average! 8)

I didn't get the job, little miss blonde Barbie turned out to be little miss Piggy, she inputed Dublin airport as her destination knowing that the job would be snapped up immediately, she was only going in to town and she haggled fer Ireland the whole way telling a load of lies, then tried paying the 20Euro fare with a Fiver and a load of coins swearing that there was 20 Euro there, when I counted and refused it there was 9.50 there, then she pulled out a Fifty to pay the full fare !

Last night was hopping... mytaxi kept offering me jobs from Dublin Airport... the queues were crazy on the official stands according to those I snatched.
If it doesn't have a roof sign and door stickers it's not a taxi.

Lunchtime yesterday...pissing rain and about 100 punters in a Q with their luggage waiting for a non existant taxi at T2...not one Taxi in the taxi lane in sight except on the drop off road inside it which was full of empty cars who had just dropped off and about to leave the port empty,madness.
