working for my taxi in Dublin without the Dublin licence.

[dalymount]

Any time I want a taxi and I go to rank,I ALWAYS walk past any driver who I believe is not Irish.for me it has nothing to do with wether the black guy in front is a nice fella or not,for me its about supporting my own

[taxi1990]

that is a funny attitude. a nice black taxi driver might find a wallet in his car and go to a lot of trouble to get it back to its owner, a white driver who is a cunt would keep it for himself. a black taxi driver might take a chance on your drunk daughter who says there is money in the house for him, a white taxi driver might tell her to get lost and leave her alone walking on a road in the middle of nowhere at night.

Doesnt justify operating illegally,especially when drivers trying to operate their taxis legally are loosing out as a result not to mention the fact thats its also unprofessional

That's debatable. It's customary and was long before you joined the trade. If you thought you were going to come in and change how we've always worked you were sorely mistaken. There were unofficial ranks all over Dublin's suburbs too, outside bars, chippers, etc...

who knows if a black driver would do as i would, everyone if different, there are some very nice black taxi drivers in the game. skin color does not mean anything, there are some horrible white taxi drivers, some who shouldn't have a licence. if a customer skipped a black driver for me because i am white, i would have any amount of reasons to refuse him/her. just because the NTA say a customer can take any taxi in the rank, doesn't mean i cant be choosy about who gets in my taxi. i could say if questioned about it that i thought the customer was drunk, being aggressive etc

My opinion fer what it's worth was once stated over the radio airwaves of Neil Prenderville's morning radio show, I said Live on air; "The Black Taxi drivers in Cork have a real bad reputation, No one gave it to them, they earned it all by themselves", and nobody at all came back at me fer that comment.

Well rat I can only conclude from your comments,that you fully support illegal taxi operation,fully support unprofessionalism,fully support AND encourage illegal ranks,etc etc

I used to chat to yourself once upon a time illegally ranked outside an establishment in Clontarf

Vikkiz I. I guarantee you haven't seen me there,or illegally standing for hire anywhere else in over 10 years.whereas you,on the other hand are still probably at it

Really, must have been your identical twin brother then, even though you don’t have one.

[dalymount]

Well tou can say what you like,but im happy in the knowledge that I have not ranked illegally in about 10 years.in disappointed that you are trying to make me out to be a liar,but if you have any proof to the contrary,I invite you to post it on I dont mind

So now you are saying you haven’t illegally ranked in about 10 years, meaning you did at one time illegally rank.


Did you drive an imported Skoda Superb? Blue in colour IIRC

[Rat Catcher]

Absolutely, DM. On my first night I used the Lesson unofficial and for a good few years I used the Coolock unofficial and occasionally the Swiss unofficial in Santry, back when Molloys had the Swiss, it was a decent boozer then not the shithole it is now. These days I don't rank much at all as I work almost exclusively for mytaxi but when I do it's on an unofficial stand, either the McDonalds (Swords) unofficial or the Cafe Bar unofficial.

[dalymount]

Yes,and yes .and I stopped when I realized it was both illegal,and unprofessional.I have a pain in my bollox pulling in on the rank outside PWC on the north wall,every night,and the illegal scumbags come along and stop right at the boat and illegally taking the work meant for the offical rank

[Vikkiz]

So I have on occasion spoke to you outside an establishment in Clontarf while illegally ranked!!
Are you like a Born Again Taxi Driver, is there somewhere we can go and get absolved from all our previous taxi sins and start over again??

Instead of pulling onto the PWC rank or illegally ranking why not keep circling the block, u turn at convention center, then u turn at central bank
