Finished around 02:30 myself. No messy fares at all but I didn't work the streets a whole lot. Needless there was any amount of work on mytaxi.
If it doesn't have a roof sign and door stickers it's not a taxi.

I gave up when the snow came down, not worth the hassle

Unfortunately some don't learn

There's one born every day... well, maybe two on the erm's birthday.

Are the roads clear again up above in Dublin?

Picked an Irish girl and a random yank at top of Harcourt St amongst 100s of ourstretched hands "thanks so much, you're the best OMG we love you". Him to Grants Row, her to Blackrock. "Just pay for your bit of the journey" says she to him. He offers me a note from the back seat €7.40 on the meter. "Give it to the lady" says I without looking at it. He gets out "A $100 dollars: says she to me. Total fare to to Blackrock  €19.20. She gave me €20 and accepted the 80 cents change.....Shoulda taken what he offered me. Wimmin wha?

Did a super shift, first time in years, 17 hours with two tea breaks, job to job no hassle, snow slowed it down towards the end but punters tipped well and were grateful as no taxis to be had.

Seen a few of the new Irish skidding or stuck, they mustn't know how to drive in the snow. Not that I have a lot of experience but knew to use gears to slow down, no sudden movements and high gear with low revs, plus I put second hand German all/four season tyres on the front before the beast hit last week, don't know if they made any difference but I tipped away past me usual 3 am finish until 6.30am, bit slower but never empty. If only every day!

Have to say impressed the way the Peugeot WAV rental handled and happy as a pig in shite until I made a classic error, didn't separate me takings and punter handed me €20 for a  €9.60 fare, said just give me the ten back, later I counted me takings again and noticed I only had 2 nifty's when I had 3 nifty's earlier on, gave the punter a €50 instead of a €10. Still pissed off at meself!
