Why are you here.

[Lizzzy]

It is but I live in the Metropolis.

[Shallowhal]

Jaysus Ken.....750 per week,they didn't pluck that figure out of their arse,they saw bank accounts and got the calculator out.

He kept his house ...probably a big one

Did he...thought he lived in a flat over a hairdressers or sumtin?

I hate fukin complementing yis, but I have to ask this question. There are a lot of drivers on here, and I honestly believe some of you , people like John m, ratchatcher, lippy, belker u wha and loads more of you they are just the ones that spring to mind. I consider most of you extremely knowledable, very articulate, certainly able to hold your own in any company, I have worked with HEOS , assistant P Is etc etc in the civil service,and most of these highly paid people couldn't hold a candle to you, so I have to ask the question and I quite serious, WHY THE FUKK ARE YOU DRIVING TAXIS. ? you seem to me to be well above this low skilled job

Fer me DM I had a troubled childhood both in London (Ginger Paddy) and Cork (Ginger Brit) , I hated school and left at 15 to join me da's bookie business, by aged 21 I was managing the busiest bookie shop (Dillons cross) in Munster, then I got appointed to assistant managing director a few years later and odd's compiler as my mathematical skills came in to play on the lotto odds as basically no one else could else proof or read my math. But I missed the banter of the on counter experience and the total in office odds compiling job was getting boring.

Then I separated with me ex misses and due to the exceptional high court award of 750 per week I had to pay her. I didn't manage it and got sent to prison fer a month, which I served. On release I applying fer my Taxi licence, sat the test and passed it and fer 9 months after worked by day in the bookies and worked by night in the Taxi, easily covering 90 to 100 hours work a week.

Then thankfully in the recession the bookie game went belly-up and I was just now just a Taxi driver and the courts on appeal dropped the 750 to a more lenient 200 per week which I still pay to this day.

The night time Taxi game suited me, I loved it (I even wrote and published a book about it) and still do love it. I know I could probably do better as a math teacher or odd's compiler sitting behind a desk on a 9 to 5 and being told what to do, but No Thanks !

What was the name of the book Ken?

Do none of you ever read Kens problem he was assistant managing director so was probably a share holder .That would be taken into account by her Vulture .Past and future projected earnings assessed she and the sprogs are entitled to be maintained in the fashion they have become accustomed to .

Big Dommo youngest fella decided he was abandoning ship she was from down the country he agreed to save his marriage that he would move down Sold his gaff in Dublin took about 140k profit then took out a new mortgage on a place down the country .The proceeds of the sale vanished he left she sued he said he lost it playing poker .Now originally when she was looking for a separation she stated his gambling was the cause of her distress .He went into residential treatment to make it look good .His Granny was living with another Son not Dommo so a deal was done he handed over the loot and granny left him the Gaff .The cash was split among the other family members .

Yer one wont get any of his legacy  as the Final  Decree was signed she is remarried so is he .The lad wasent a gambler at all he had another bird and kid .

Won't be much left if Dommos young lad went into the Rutland centre

.its only bricks an mortar an wen yur dead ...some other hermit crab moves in

John I'll answer any question you, or big Dommo like. Nothing sinister about my past, nothing to report that would raise an eyebrow, I wasn't good in school, and therefore would not of had the ability of most on here, but my initial question was based on curiosity, more then anything else . I just wondered why such learned people, yourself included chose taxi driving, when it's evident you have so more potential

[john m]

I was bored in school when i was in second class I got me new books and learned them all in a few days .Teacher gave out to me for reading the book before he told me to .Realized then you can learn more on your own than a teacher can teach you so never  bothered after that .Went to secondary I wanted to go to tech wanted to be an electrician but mother insisted I was going to Secondry .That didnt work out so left before they could educate the intelligence out of me .Dossed  casual work as a shopfitter no real work for anybody in the Seventies .Went back as a Mature Student but organised education was beyond me exams and modules that had to be turned in on time .Done Two distance learning Degrees finished one Economics never finished the Politics it was all boloxology lieing about the past or guessing about the future .The one thing I sort of regret I never learned to play a Musical instrument but I dont think I would of put in the effort .

[Shallowhal]

Discipline John......i've a few jobs left to do around the house,all the bigger projects done...i'm then gonna get my refurbished snare out and sit in the back garden with my metronome app on my phone and headphones on and i'm gonna start doin some snare exercises.

[john m]

Did I also say a Lazy cunt .Like a few others on here we were around before kids were diagnosed with some sort of dysfunctional character flaw .Thats the main attraction about this job you can walk away and walk back without your tail between your legs .

The big entertainment in my day, was keeping pigeons. One of the best laughs I ever got was one morning in the Eircom Depot we were all waiting for our job allocations for the day. There was a fella called Robbie Corrigan from Wexford, and Robbie always believed anyone who kept pigeons, or allsations was as common as muck and should be avoided at all costs . With that in walks the bould Jimmy Scully from ballyfermot. The most flat Dublin accent you are ever likely to hear. In a loud voice Jimmy says to the CTLcan I have 2 hours casual leave I have to go to dun Loire to release the pigons for a race and the fukin alsation is in the car and I need to get him home to
