Should have been supplied by the NTA

[Belker]

Maybe best just to take whatever is going out there, as fares are in short supply.
It is Not Christmas week anymore !

And fares will be getting even shorter in supply when the Covid 350 payment ends
in mid July and all drivers return to work with the pubs still closed till Mon 10th August.

Mid July....  did you hear something about an extension?

I read the news reports on RTE, nothing confirmed yet but a limited extension of the Covid payment seems likely.

Dunno Ken I heard yis are all making €2500 a week.No need to be keeping all that lovely work to yerselves by pretending it's dead out.How could ya possibly be a Gold medal driver if it's not busy?Only an idiot would give up the €350 and go back to work if they weren't very busy...

Most lads would probably need to take in €500 to clear €350.

I'm not quite making 2500 a week MFH but I'm doing OK and it gets me out of the house because I was going nuts at home watching the 4 walls closing in !



I did get Gold status with FN last week because I worked my bollix off fer 4 weeks to get it, and now with FN Gold status/ambassador I get offered quite a lot of work and I don't need to work so hard anymore to make my weekly quota's.

When I stated it was 'Dead' out there, I only ever stated that the ranks and streets were dead (which they still are) but the FN app tips away.
Of the 60 FN jobs per week that I did over them 4 weeks you could probably add on about 4 or 5 street/rank jobs per week to that total.

Things have changed drastically in these Covid times fer the Taxi game and I have learned how to adapt.

Bollix on ya Roy, I'm out there doing the best that I can to make a coin,
while you sit at home as a burden on the state.

[Belker]

Yiz can call me 'Lick Arse' all ya want Roy or as Octy prefers 'Lickey Lacky', but there is only One show in Town at the moment and much as you might not like it, it's called Free Now !

Roy might make a few quid with his own App, but any non FN driver thinking of returning to work Street and Rank only, Forget it !
There is nothing out there, unlikely on a 40 hour week you would make the 350 !  It's App only work these days.

But don't believe me, go and try it out fer yourself  ?

Was I?  Jeez cant remember...I'm a fully fledged alcoholic now cant remember antin ....to me freenow is like an old priest with a bag of sweets wen yu wer a kid ...an you an yur mate wer invited into the vestry for a sweet but yu said no but yur mate went in ......an the next time ya seen him  he walked a bit funny an became a mute .......
Wen that freenow give all them ambassadors a rite rootin up the hole ....theyll be the biggest protestors an loudest complainers out ther ....
Freenow isnt the problem ...ther just a multinational takin over control of a marketplace before some other multinational does ...the problem is drivers who for short term gain fail to see they are undermining ther own and everyone elses future by voluntarily playing the company's tune without question or foresight or the least bit of brain matter ....all they see is the bag of sweets ...they dont see the big owl hairy flute heading ther way

[Octavia1]

Up the bum yis are goin get it ....freenow is goin bring in ther own fleet
...an they be the new ambassadors ( I fukin hate that word)
Theyll be fully  electric an theyll be driven by Pakistanis an negroidals for a fixed minimum wage and they will have the 10 second advantage on the app that gives ken a reason to masturbate after a shift and on the ordinary self employed taxi driver be gettin fuk all aswell drivers and the former ambassadors ( hate that fuking word) be gettin nuttin
An yis will march to the dail an the ambassadors will be at the front of the que an leo will say sorry its nuttin to do with me its European free enterprise lawful an yuo all fully participated .....

There’s a few advantages to the screens, less talking, when they fart you should be ok, security from attack, lessens the chance of picking up colds, flu and other transmitable viruses. I don’t see the downside?

What are they like to drive with the widows open?Do they make any buffeting noises behind your seat?
