24 hours and not a word about Colky and ECPH parting company.

News does travel exceedingly slow.

two and a half years on and what was achieved?

Thing is that some of us knew from the outset.

Electing cabbies to manage multi million pound businesses is not sound commercial practice. You can't make a purse out of a sow's ear just because you have the material.

It's the petty nasty cabbie mentality that has ruined our trade.

Colky is just an example of how bad it can get.

But we should remember that although he was taken out of the battlefield, his clones are still f*cking it up for the rest of us.

What we need now is for ECPH to recruit the other numpty, Miraculous Murray, and work their charm on him.

Bouncing him would be a good start to raising the IQ level in our trade.

BTW Cue Toot's usual manic drivel.

:lol:

And allowing the butcher, the baker and the candlestick maker to undertake economic regulation is even worse.

Drinks been honoured for this occasion in both the hails bar and westsider, not to forget how the drivers were pleased with the sack of that as*888le, and his miss.

there still the rest of the family to be sacked, we wouldn't forget about 'hem... at the airport desk (TIT MUM) and The Deeb (the Corporate and VIP feeder) she is the (TIT COUSIN).

GOOOOD NEWS: eddie murphy you been left alone, guess what you need to get back to the royal edinburgh at morningside.

it seem all the family had invaded the KEV empire like a plague.

anyway they have done with him, as they score many of the CRT accounts and value customers,,,,,,,,,

they told me that the big boss said to him, dear colky go back to mama,,,,,

i always say good bye, but for you i would say: ( left for individual imagination).

N.B. I know for the fact that woodburn is very cleaver man, who knows from the beginning what colky is, and i am glade they got done of him eventually.

someone in bankhead said that colky refused to return the company white merc and the two company suits....

Mr Woodburn doesn't have a violent bone in his body. He would never stoop so low as to even consider using a cleaver.

:lol:

However .... :wink:

I'm curious about something. What part did Murray Fleming play in all of this? I can't remember Murray singing like a canary to bring Colky down. In fact, I can't remember Murray doing anything other than keeping his mouth shut. :-|

Like how much it cost for his petulant spat with two trade visionaries for example.

How much did the lawyers take them for? And were these paragons of business management excellence being paid expenses while they were sitting in court costing the company money?

Oh, wait a minute, I can see it now. Kinroy saying to the judge, 'But what this man is saying my Lord is of and concerning the company.

This is 21st Century Scotland My Lord, we can't allow people to pass comment on how this company is run. Whatever would the customers think?'


Quality!!

But not as good as, 'They're trying to impoverish my client My Lord.'

I bet they pashed themselves in the New Club over that gem.


Thing is I'm not sure whether Kevin did us a good turn or not. Taking Coolky out of the battlefield by affording him a sanctuary, he certainly forced the case to be brought to a halt.

But neither of us was concerned about where the case was going. It never had any legal substance, or else freedom of speech in this country would have been blown out of the water.

We would just have egged it on until Coolky and Murray were brought into the witness box, where we would have ripped them to shreds.

And we were chucking £45 motions while they were shelling out thousands every time to defend them.

Fact is, if there hadn't been sanctuaryt ECPH, we could have brought the company down, and reaped a handsome reward for doing so, the 8 grand could have been 80.

Mixed feelings then.

However, Coolky has already taken on Lord Lucan proportions. He's working with Comcabs. The Bawbag's got him a drive. Travis Bickle has taken him under his wing. Murray is going to bail him for old time's sake, or just to keep him schtumm. The sales of paint stripper have increased.

I take it by “decent” you are referring to City Cabs, although even that's a stretch. Surely, you can't mean Cental Radio Taxis with his chum Murray still on the committee. You do remember that Murray bought his plate and position and covered for him, so he could remain as Chairman. It doesn't sound like Murray was working in the best interests of the company to me.
:shock:

Then again, I'm sure you know better you being one of Murray's disciples. :shock: :)
