Passscal said early on that they won't be supporting business that aren't viable forever.

So if yer called into welfare and you say there's not enough work they'll tell you to apply for a real job.Nothing new there.

Nobody asked you to drive around drunks and bogeys if you don't want to.Looks like somebody hacked your account Daly.Your posts are different.

I dont know what it is about taxi drivers forever running down their own job.this job may not be physically demanding,but it certainly can be mentally demanding.when you have some cubt sitting beside you and you dont know what weapon he is going to pull on you,and you feel tou have to take the two dodgy looking cunts on the corner because you cant afford not to because there is so little work out there,please stop running it down as a nothing job,because its a job that most people would not fancy

Hear hear. You'd think the detractors were only doing the job a wet week. I'm guessing a lot of them have been decades doing it. Maybe that's where the problem lies. By extension, they've also had decades to escape if they thought it was that bad.

Anyone who thinks earning buttons for lots of hours makes this a great job is deluding themselves.Taxi driving is easy that's why there's loads of us.

If I had two pensions like Dalyer I'd think it was great too.Get up the yard.

Once you get sucked in to this game it's hard to get out.....because working for the man at possibly 50+ years of age after a decade or two working at your own pace it's hard to not do that.

[mercenary for hire]

I'd consider a "real job"to be one with holidays and benefits and defined hours.

Some seem to get offended by that.It's still an occupation but definitely not like a real job.

It's a shame the unions we have are fukking useless.But then they're all ex drivers so we never really had a chance.

Ken and vd make more than buttons, the work is there if you  want it !

[mercenary for hire]

I know Lizzy...they gross a lot of money but they don't take home anywhere near that.

Vd hands out more than I earn and Ken just spent probably three or four months wages after deductions on a newer motor.All is not what it seems.But you know that already.

MFH we had numerous opportunities to make this a better job,but we blew the lot.we knew what we were signing up to when we camr into the game,but in no way is it an easy job.the mere fact that lads are away from their families for hours on end that alone males it a hard job without anything else.on top of that there is continuous obstacles being put in our way by both the NTA,and the government and what do we do ? Bury our heads in the sand.there is STILL an opportunity to make it a real good job ,but unfortunately nobody seems to give one of the erms two fukks

The fact he had 18k under the bed to buy the car is impressive, Ken seems to do 300 a day with freenow, that's decent money regardless

[dalymount]

Id say Kenny would dispute that figure

[mercenary for hire]

Ken's wages come at the price of fukking over other drivers via the ambassador and ranking system.He's close to pension age soon working nights so that has a health cost and deserves a premium wage.

His car was fine a few weeks ago and good for another few years.Big difference between gross and net.All everyone talks about is the gross on here.

Those crazy statements are becoming more frequesnt. 60 jobs per week (no analysis please), as per his last screen shot, is a long way off €300 per day/night over 5 days, and even further off over 7 days/nights, and that's counting gross not net

Their expenses are higher so is there take home.
