Where's the Bobo ?

[Jack Meoff]

As I said before and numerous posters did also.
It’s all mind games.
Priority/Gold/Ambassador
At the end of the day it’s the nearest car gets the job.
It’s all down to service.

I suppose if yur driving a heap of shite and yiv lost all dignity yers ago yu cud get stickers all over yur car and great race the Germans tatoos all over yur arse.....
But one ting I'll never get over is the fact that our ken is a licky lacky arse lickers.....
"Cork the rebel county"... Another myth shattered.....
Ide say micheal Collins wud turn in his grave into the  fetal position sucking his thumb if he heard a Cork man was sucking a German anus....
Woe is me wats the world coming to

Easy on the "Heap of Shite" bit, she (08 D4D 2L Avensis) is listening outside and still doesen't know anything about my 'Trade-up' plan !
Gonna be a Sad day when I have to scrap/trade her in, we have been through our fair share of mischief, divilment, Bootlegging and all sorts throughout the last 10 years, Ice, Snow, Fog, Floods, nothing ever stopped her. She owes me nothing and if I can find a good Home fer her then I will let her go fer pittance rather than profit from a scrapage plan.

I was very saddened the day I got me new car and I forgot to say goodbye to me octavia.... I just parked it and walked away eager to drive the new one..... Bit like wen yu run off wit a younger woman and divorce the owlone who nursed ya wen yu we'r sick and took care of ya for years......
I tink it was on that day that I realised I was a bit of a bastards

John can you find out who they're charging 15% to in the UK?There's at least 5 apps on the go over there.The hacks usually pay more than us because they are unable to work the streets.

Black cabs.

Any possibility that there would be enough organised resistance if it went to 15% here? Even if 50% stopped working the app for a while it would hurt them.

Thanks Bob that's interesting.I think they have proper competition amongst the apps over there.I can't see it working out unless they're deliberately trying to alienate the black cab taxi drivers to go after Ubers minicab drivers.

I can easily go back to slumming it on the ranks but as I mentioned in other threads many drivers are unable to go without.They're risking a lot of they try it in Dublin.

[Jack Meoff]

Even if it went to 20% drivers will still use it.
They can’t work without it.

Hopefully the folks at Freenow remember what happened last time in Dublin when drivers got pissed off.As soon as a significant amount of drivers stop using the app the rest of the lads are driven nuts with multiple jobs from everywhere else and it fuks up their service.Resulting in even more switching it off.

[Jack Meoff]

Put it up to 25%

They don't care Merc... They have monopoly control of the market,  brain dead obsequious sycophantic Stockholm syndromed doughnut giving slave force taking n it up thr gicker, and one of the richest multinationals in the world backing them with bottomless vaults of cash.....
Their whole exercise for doing it is to  accumulate information,data, and to control the equally sheep like users of taxis for future......
Poking the little cnuts every now and then cud be research analysis or just boredom and contempt in the boardroom

Like I keep saying about ALL dispatchers,they are only as strong as the fleet who chose to allow themselves in this way.you pull the plug on ANY dispatcher,and where does that leave them ?

[mercenary for hire]

They were at this point before though..and still fukked up.Most lads were happy but all we wanted was the PUC.They resisted until lads got pissed off enough to stop picking up jobs off the app.Then it kinda snowballed until they had to concede.Wouldnt be that difficult to replicate the disruption.I've given up hope on some lads but there are enough moany cunts out here to make a difference.

It leaves them with One less driver and all the other drivers thinking "Good, One less".
And the fella that leaves now gets the oppurtunity to sit on a rank fer the rest of his life !

[mercenary for hire]

No that's not true Ken.In Dublin it only takes a small percentage acting the bollix to fuk them up.

Yis all know how annoying the app gets when it's busy.Ten percent of drivers not working it causes misery for the other 90%.After a couple of week there are even less working it out of frustration.

[The Liffey Lip]

Some people remind me of the Dinosaur who laughed as he was told there was an asteroid coming. They control you....never the other way around. They've undoubtedly done their research on the typical profile of Driver-adactyl and Taxi-saurus....they know the innate inability to visualise incoming missiles is rife amongst these dying breeds.......the info is out there for all to read........when the Lower Deck was full at 10pm back in the "Good Old Days" the idiots sneered at the papers and the heads who were warning them of imminent disaster........."Ask Me Bollix" and "Ya on Drugs, Pal" were the standard ripostes.

The game has changed but still remains the same.....Duracell-packed slaves who'll do the bidding of their Lords and Masters. Serious dosh has been spent on replacing the fleet with compliant, non-whinging drivers from afar....and it's a fait accompli. Homo Whingeus is being supplanted/replaced. Howling at the moon with guffs of defiance and bravado won't alter destiny.

Daly I'm sorry to say this to you but about 2/3 of the fleet of drivers only left the jungle or exchanged ther elephant for a taxi car in paradise a cople yers ago, married to a USSR refugee brazzer they only met once if atall making money that is the stuff of dreams In the the absolute disease infected open sewer, corruption ridden hellhole on earth they crawled out of and they don't give two flying fuks either....you can stick any stickers yu want on ther face or charge them 50 % they'll just drive 200 hours a week if they tink they'll get another euro out of it......

Yeah and lets not forget most of them would not have as much overheads as the ordinary Irish Guy because of all the hand-outs they get. Hungry Cnuts
