Taxi Driver Online

Ran across the child who is Kevin Young tonight. Gosh has he got a screw loose.

Usual threats of violence, but we can forget them. Likes to think he's a big shot. Goes with his taxi illusion.

So, when he came to me on the rank I couldn't help myself asking when he was going to grow up. We'll you could have blown me down with a feather, because he started a childish dance, in the middle of the street, at the mood rank, just to prove what childish is, and how childish he is.

I nearly pee'd myself laughing.

Anyway, I'd spotted him earlier doing the long neck gig, you know what I mean, plank races to drive past, so he can eyeball the licence plate. Seems important to him, because he thinks his status will be enhanced with his amoebic pals, to tell them the car Taylor's driving.

But all they had to do was ask medallion man. Cos he saw me last night. Gosh I actually shook his hands. I had to go straight home to get the bacteriacidal gel into the pores. My old mother's sick, I don't want her contaminated by anything status quo taxi, do I?

I wonder if the high dependency unit has a separate feed line to sterilise against such contamination.

Anyway, on hearing the title of this muse, the hapless Young challenged me to spell it. Now, you would only do that with a big word, wouldn't you?

So, to hapless Young boy of Central - no I'll resist spelling it for him has to believe that temerity is a big word.

To the rotund him its probably as big as pies, or buns, or toffee. Yes Kevin, did you get the joke?

So, the proud boy, dead chuffed he can try to ingratiate himself with his fellow cretins, will proudly announce Taylor's drive number.

Problem is though, this isn't a simpleton owner who thinks he can hide his taxi by placing a wheelie bin in front of the plate - that has to be David Copperfield mentality - no this paragon of taxi ownership is none other than a - wait for irt - none other than a - I'm getting there - none other than ------ another Niddrie boy.

Quality or what?

BTW Kevin. I did notice the quality of the paint job on your heap. Very nice. Was it expensive? Has your insurance premium gone up?

Oh dear, will I now have feckwit Frank and his keystone cops fretting that they've just unearthed a clue? Pause to allow me to quake in my boots.

BTW2 Note to self - Pop a copy of Cluedo into the post for hapless Frankie boy's Christmas.

It'll save him heading back to Tulliallan to play the part of Colonel Mustard in the latest training pish up, when he can do it at home, and just email his moves in.

Now that's what really saving taxpayers' hard cash means

Sleep tight Kevvy babes, I wouldn't want a little cherub like you to come to any harm before morning.



God save our gracious trade
Long live our noble trade
God save our trade

Send it victorious
Happy and glorious
Long to rip everyone off
God save trade.

Fast forward to verse 2 and play:-

Rebellious PH to crush.




Now sweetie boy, when you thought you were warning me to watch what I writ (sic) on the forum, was this what you had in mind?

Methinks you have all the attributes to get on Central's commitee. You'd be the super intellect amongst them, no doubt about that.

Hey, all you Central numpties, I'll vote for Kevvy babes.

As Rabbie Burns say's " A man's a man for aw that".

Next time i will ask you to shake my foot oot your rear end

Sure Dougie.

I gueess the maxim is that there is no such thing as bad publicity

But when you uttered the words medallions and New York ... Too much for me pal.

So, someone who disagrees with you, but still has the decency to shake your hand, (And you accepted it ! ) and you can't wait to get home to "Bash Yer bile", on the Keyboard !. " What a "Scumbag".
Hmm.. I wonder if someone, will tell your new "Boss", what you're "really like". This is yer' last chance Jim, Nae' mare," Beggin' Letters", to the Forum, and the E.E.N. Next time, Yer' oot' fir' GOOD !.

I actually like Dougie, but that doesn't mean I have to bathe in shi*e. If you want to be treated with respect, you do not deny people their dignity. And if you have a disagreement you meet them equal terms.

Think again scumbag.

Equal terms ?. you havin' a' laugh ?. You sold two Plates !.. You're a bigger scumbag than Jim !. (Beat it "t***"), You're finished !.

Skum, thing is, everyone (including, the back stabbing "GRASS" Jasber), Knows you're a 2 Plate sellng peice of police. A Guttersnipe, a "Beast" from the gutter. The "Boy", with "Brass- face interpinence", the "[edited by admin]" with the mind of a "Lavatory". I've ran oot' o' adjectives, but ye' get the picture.....

Hail Hail Farplay

Offering my hand was a signal that all is fair between two opposite opnions and as i said to him no one especially me likes to see another out of work, i can handle Jim's chldish comments as i have true dignity in the way i operate

Jim is only one of a small majority un-willing to play the game as is, if they got there way there would be a hell of a lot of guy's in his current position and even worse as the threat of losing everything from their house too possibily their families.

As i said to Jim we inherited the trade as is, a mass majority bought in, we cannot go back to satisfy a few who's only interest and you did say to me once Jim, to screw the council, to sell for 50k, your game is to get one over the trade and the council, my game is to protect what we bought in to.

You where lucky on Saturday night as when i got my point across you stumbled on a excuse to get out of there, you knew i was ready to defend my and the majorities stance, you knew it was about to get ugly, not with my opinion but you would have said something nasty to make me angry and then you would have got the Fergie You bottled a debate Jim, you keep your tripe for Forums etc, i proved myself by offering my hand but you couldn't wait to rush back and write more tripe, the next time i offer my hand

My Medallion system is the alternative you fear, the option now to the council is, issue 20 licences for 30k or issue 20 licences at the current market value of say 800k Yes i thought so, you know which road the council will go down

If anything my Medallion system has put your mission way down the pecking order so we could still be reading your tripe for another 10 years

Aw the best Jimmy boy, keep trying to make me rise to your saddo comments

Sticks and stones you know the rest

If I sold anything, it was a job, and the world was a completely different place 12 years ago. There were no hiked rentals, plenty of shifts available for drivers and a couple of hundred Ph. You could do fifty plus jobs each night on a Friday and Saturday and thirty jobs any other night of the week. And no one was struggling to make the national minimum wage, far from it. You didn't have guys thinking they were big-shot businessmen either. Driving a taxi was a job, and if you happened to have access to a plate it was a job at your door.

The only reason the trade is [edited by admin] is because of fantasist like you looking for drivers to prop – up, your little illusion.

Taxi driving is now a job of last resort for desperate scumbags. And you, Niddry boy, are a case in point.

Already told you I bought the Plate because I liked the idea of having a "Job" on my doorstep. F.Y.I., I'm the only one that drives ma' Taxi.

Well, if it's just a job at your door, then you won't mind drivers having unfettered access to their jobs either, will you, Niddry boy?

I think this is more about your delusions of grandeur.

And why was there more work 12 years ago?
Nothing to do with the fact that 12 years ago there was also LESS cabs on the road. More cabs = diluted demand as supply is increased

Put more cabs on like you want, would just mean the current demand gets diluted even further

It seems to work in London but then again, their stand of quality control is much higher than in Edinburgh. The fact that someone as stupid as you passed “the knowledge” is proof quality controls in this city don't work.


Not to worry Longshanks, the Ph will be happy to dilute your work as they have been doing for at leas the last 10 years.

You keep saying work and takings are down and worse each year

When I did my tax returns this year, for past 6 years my takings have risen each time. Except 2 years ago when the economic downturn hit my takings where fractionally less and have continued to rise this year also going on a monthly average

You shouldve tried broadening your horizons skull when driving instead of going back n forth to Haymarket. Tried to get a job in a radio circuit, where 80-90% of my daytime work comes from. Mustve been disheartening to get a Haymarket to George St after a half hours wait then wait another half hour to get a Murrayfield. Where as guys in circuits drop off and would get a radio job after dropping off

Look, I really don't give a feck what you want to believe, guys like you will never learn.
