I dunno how your OCD deals with what would normally be decent fares when chasing a bonus, Wingnut. I took Drogheda by mistake (thought it was Boroimhe) from River Valley when I was chasing it one night of St. Bridget's weekend. Far side of Drogheda so a decent fare at 80 notes + gratuity but there's no way I woulda consciously accepted it. For me the bonus is all quantity over quality. c.€4 bonus for a €10-15 job is handy enough money but €4 on a €30 job doesn't even cover the freight.
I would be the same, I did one going out of town a few weeks ago which was almost guaranteed to be coming home empty and had to hand over a Tenner in commission. The short fares with PUC are the sensible app jobs to take.

UCC 'RAG week' down here (Sun to Thurs) with a FN Turbo boost of €2 extra per job (Midnight to 3am, Mon to Wed.)

Fortunately Drogheda is a Free Now stronghold, Ken.

I'd say you'd piss through 8 off the Kilmardinny alone, SB. Maybe I'll have to start working late and covering pub jobs to give you a dig out with it... to be fair, it's a decent darts pub anyway... or at least it was...
If it doesn't have a roof sign and door stickers it's not a taxi.

The staff have my number for when FN isn't responding. The best job so far was Betaghstown.
Saturday I was offered Kilmahuddrick and Killanarden, but I politely declined in favour of Kilbarron Road...to see the legend that says "The streets are yours" rofl

Giving your number to bar staff, that really is scraping the bottom of the barrel. Have you no self respect, SB?

It's a quiet Wednesday, pensioner pints in the Killer, 15.00-18.00. You'd clean up. 8)

It would want to be cash only + PUC to make it anyway economical.
No way would I cover that kind of work but if it works fer you then so be it.

They don't drink that much, it interferes with their medication. Plus it may be their only outlet. Trad music in the afternoon and cheap pints, and a game of darts, what's not to like?

The place is rammed all through Cheltenham and Paddy's week.

I think we all know that the older, working-class generation are far more generous with their tips than the punters in Ashtons, or O'Shea's in Clonskeagh.

Bit early for me, SB. Anywaysanall, I'm not a fan of pub jobs at the best of times and certainly wouldn't accommodate bar staff who admit to only wanting me when there's no Free Now workers available. They can fuck right off!

I don't mind bringing clients to the pub but I won't take anything with a reference number on it under any circumstances. I've (addmittedly, in error) taken one or two from that establishment who have hailoed for themselves on Bolt.
