I only ever took Xmas Day, and New years Day off off. This year for the first time, not working 23/24/25/26, and 1st. The family, 2 grandparents, 6 parents, and 7 grandkids rented a house in Clare for 7 nights 23rd-30th, really looking forward to it.

Enjoy Bob....sounds like a great Chrimbo...as long as it doesn't turn into a Daddy's Home 2 type of Christmas!! lol
Thanks Hal €1941 divided by 8  adults, and divided by 7 nights comes out at €35 per adult per night, and the kids go free, and plenty of help in the kitchen, I've been given the job of turning on, and unloading the dishwasher due to my non existing culinary skills, maybe some veg prep as well. My Xmas presents for grandkids are coverd by a dozen tickets to Mary Poppins in Jan. Adult presents are 1 secretly chosen Kris Kindle, supposedly max €5..ish.



5 euro for the adult present?  ??? what could ye buy for that?
"ish", and it requires imagination so it's a joke/funny gift usually.
Trump has called for help, so I'm on a plane heading for The Strait of Hormuz, talk soon.

Chrimbo fer those of us night drivers inclined to work it seems to fall very nice fer us this year.

Of the 12 nights between Fri 20th Dec till Tues 31st Dec every night will be very busy with 1 possible exception being the Tues 24th Dec as Chrimbo Eve usually dies a death about 9pm.

The downside of Chrimbo work being that the knackers give up on robbing fer a week or so to get plastered and most of the prisons let the scum almost finished their sentences out on temporary release fer christmas.
I always work Xmas Eve.

In Dublin, after the pubs shut I find that I can be kept busy with Latinos who celebrate Xmas on their Xmas on Xmas Eve.

None, if any, are drunk.

I tried it a few times back when I used to work tariff 1 (Shivers up me spine !!), but I always found that by 9pm things went very quiet as most of the city pubs closed very early at about 7pm.

As one young lad once said to me in the cab; "Nobody wants to be hung-over fer their Chrimbo dinner" !

Don't remember anyone spoiling it Ken... jus drink an autism can cause misunderstanding.. but water under the bridge I Hoope ...
Anyway ... I'm not sure I cud go to Cork...
After gettin rats dose I tink an me bank account is gettin critical.... I dont know wat the fuk is wrong this year but I've made sweet fuk all .... I've jus about packed in this taxi lark ... I can't do mornins or evenin rush hours cause I can't handle the traffic Fridays all daily the same  ... I can't do nites cause of drunk apes an I'm half blind in the dark ... I keep gettin banned off of freenow an I havnt been going inta town cause of roadworks for bicycles... plus me nervous anxiety disorder is gettin worser by the day .... I'm fucked ...  maybe we cud meet half way on the train an get a hotel  in tipperary or somewhere... the love of me life ( the one before the current one) lives ther maybe she'll put us up ... the prospect of a nostalgic shag mite motivate me out of me agoraphobia but

When you feel that you are in a cul-de sac,…it’s very hard to find your way out?

Wouldn't mind a night in Cork in the New Year!
If it doesn't have a roof sign and door stickers it's not a taxi.
