Ken??
Nope ! Not me Bubba.
Fer starters I have a very different type of punctuation and little knowledge of Doob city.

But the poster did not write this article on here as some of his punctuation graphics are not available on this forum, so it was copied and pasted from somewhere else to here, possibly overseas.

At a very Wild guess I would go fer ex-pat Dooblin Taxi driver (or his son) now living in Canada.

You must have held on to the story for a few years, O'D. Gardens are gone and there was never a rank there. 8)

Artistic licence bullits ....strumpet City was full of geographical errors ....a piece of art without flaw alienates the reader or viewer of a fine paintin or great book  ....
Sure I was watchin Ben hur one day an I seen a bloke wearin jeans in the background...it actually made the film  more believable for some  inexplicable reason ....
Art is full of deliberate mistakes ...yu havin a keen photografic eye can probably immediately spot the deliberate mistake in this monet for example  :)

Ireland, not Canada - proud, grateful, one-car-one-plate Dublin taxi driver

Not a literary scholar - Grade D Leaving Cert. English - tnx 4 compliment

Warts-and-all mistakes are part and parcel - work towards capturing the vernacular

First story published, to its rightful place - write what you know about, a good tale well told - simples

Sincere tnx to those who've directed their (right-thinking) minds in posting under story
good, bad or downright indifferent

***

Next classic stories in the pipeline, all of which happened in and about or around Ollie Eyebrow's taxi:

Ollie and the Vampire

Ollie goes to the Moon

Ollie finds on-street parking in Tullamore

plus lots more...
