Pulled onto the Mood rank tonight. Lo and behold, who was infront of me?

Why, no less than that exalted paragon of business, Private Reggie - he of the crisis of identity that he needs 2 separate alter egos to satisfy his new found commerical status.

Shifting somewhat uncomfortably in his seat when he realised that his "nemesis" was ahint him, this erstwhile "Dragon" of Edinburgh's transport sector declined the opportunity to regale me with his renowned commercial "expertise".

After some few moments, Dougie moved off the rank. No doubt he'll claim he had a radio job. But I discerned no move to put the meter off. He simply wilted from thenon-existant pressure.

What exercised my pleasure pheromones was the simple knowledge that Dougie, with his new shi tty cabs badge proudly displayed on his rear window (The grasser's handle), was paying a hundred bucks a week more than me to sit on this rank.

Business guru Dougie is now gonna have to work a whole extra shift just to stand still. He has given real cabbies a shift of a start. While he is working his butt off to fund the megalomaniacs posing as committee men, the real cabbies will be putting bread on the table.

Oh, silly ol' me. Shi tty cabs radio system will continually deliver the haymaker jobs that will recompense our "businessman" Dougie, won't it?

I look forward to hearing from all of those drivers who have landed haymakers any time recent. Let's keep it optimistic and cite a timescale of the last century for this :lol:

Nice one Dougie. Just when I accord you some credit that you couldn't possibly be more stupid, off you go and prove me wrong.

Quality.

BTW I hear that ECPH are looking to hire black cabs to join their circuit :lol:

Also, they're offering "up to 30% discount" on their circuit fees if you carry their advert on your hackney.

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

BTW Tell them Jim or the Skull sent you. We're pushing for a commission :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: And with a wife to slap, I'll need it to pay the fines. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: (Sorry munificent wife of mine, I was only pulling the chains of some imbecile numpties :wink:)

BTW2 Wanna bet the feckwits won't get the joke and realise I'm pulling their commercially unaware chain

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

As if jimmy boy would have got out of his motor!

At least gary will get out and talk to people that disagree with him, but jimmy boy is far to much of a scaredy cat to do that.

Basically saf because I don't see the point of talking to idiots :lol:

Dougie is an avatar. He lives in a fantasy world unintelligible to mere mortals.

In any case, as soon as he spoke I would probably have just burst out laughing. And I was always brought up not to mock the afflicted.

the funny thing is! and I've seen it before .

guys who are not in the fight seem to think when someone loses or in this case perceived loss, that it means somehow they have won. :lol:

kinda like watching a prize fight, and then claiming that you won it, even although you were only a spectator :lol:

Comical Ali right enough.

Anyone with half a wit would have seen this and chosen a more appropriate avatar.

Any suggestions?

I'll start with the scarecrow from the Wizard of Oz :lol:
