Taxi Driver Online

i see this sites back online

www.thetaxiforums.co.uk

but theres no content on it, wonder where it all went

It's for the London boys only.

Well at least that would make it a proper Taxi forum and not the con that it was. Trying to lure in taxi drivers when it was anti taxi and run by a minicab driver. A doomed venture from the start.

Didn't the site brag that it was going to make money and go from strength to strength?

A fool and his money are soon parted.

Same applies to your dead as a dodo site. Just like TTF You have had to erase all the posts so as to hide the anti London taxi bias.

It's a very good web address, and if the right people get hold of it and know what they are doing, then it will do well.

oooo that didnt take long to let the cat out of the bag... dead as a dodo site god your a laugh you claude why dont you contact the admin, and offer your services as an owner or moderator.. the sites index still gets over 40,000 hits per month and the software is designed to be totally managed by the end owner/moderator, without you having to know a jot of html or web design experience.

Hold on a minute Alan he's only just figured out how to clamp wheelchairs down after 15 years Taxi driving Do you want clamping in sir? That will be £5 extra thank you guv.

Oh you boys are just so bitchy.

Non sequitur again. Can't answer the posts? That's the best you can do?

The bouncer trade must surely miss you. But I suppose the minicab trade can accommodate the lower end of society the flotsam and jetsam of life. Dumping women from your minicab, far from no where, at the dead of night is your calibre. "Oh Mr. LO they were acting in a bawdy manor and they frightened me" "One even touched me"!. You big woss.

Claude

well at least someone has posted on the new London site.
some people just never miss a chance, do they Alex?

A little while ago I appparently made a presumption that Claude had, in his past, been anti licenced private hire to the point that he has inferred they were "scum".

He denied these allegations.

He then later goes on about a site ran by a "minicab" driver, a group he had contiually refered to as "the scum of the earth".

May I point out to him that the site in question was ran by a totally legitimate FULLY LICENCED private hire driver, a licenced private hire operator, both of whom were supported by 1 licenced private hire driver and 3 Hackney Carriage drivers.

The thing is, if London is so superior, how come it licenses so many narrow minded pillocks. Fortunatly the real London Cabbies act as a beacon of trade exellence to us all.

Claude will reply in his usual abrasive manner, but one things for absolute sure, if he had been refered to in a similar manner he would have blown his top.

And apparently everyone else has double standards.

Never mind though.

ready...........

that may well be so, but the poor so and sos that try and use it will give up in notime.

this new system in secret society lists, where you have to aggree with the most abusive, intemperate list owners, will alas not catch on.

Mick promised the earth he could not even deliver justice and fair play.let alone the policies he advocates.

Banana hosting is very impressive alan, got to say, its wasted on these sites. and your new owners bite the dust quickly!

computers are being installed in homes at a massive rate, yet forums do not grow?

soon they will be tomorows fad.

good luck though, you are a tryer!

(by the way is this one for maurice to run? so you can look in london?)

God you can be a pillock at times geoff, computers are being installed at a massive rate yet forums do not grow, where did you get that idea from?

The total amount of taxi forums, or forum sites to do with anything would probably amount to about 0000.1% of the internet.
Thats why the companies that build the forums software may have 3,000 to 4000 copies out on the internet up and running, and vbulletin probably has 100's of thousands, yet again geoff you talk sh*te in an attempt to belittle me and mick.

Tell you what geoff you have a go at running one you would not last a week, and your site would be more censored than any other site on the net probably because they did not conform to ideas that werent present in halifax, yes i would like to see that.

you all go on about delivering justice and fair play! yet you all change your tune, and the list owners have to keep up with it, you geoff are more biased than anyone else on here, at least claude stays the same he just hates everyone outside his own elite little circle, which comprises of himself, him, maurice, oh and maybe you, just a little!

I mean the internet actually has a name for you guys your called forum lurkers, and you are a cancer to list owners, and every forum throughout the land has to deal with you in your various guises.

enjoy yourselves andy and dusty your welcome to him!

oh and maurice why have i not received a letter from the datapro guys i'm still waiting!

Would you mind referring me to the post when I called PH scum? I kept most of the past posts and I can’t find it. You maybe straying onto libelous territory again.

I have referred to minicab drivers as flotsam and jetsam of life that is because most are just that.

“May I point out to him that the site in question was ran by a totally legitimate FULLY LICENCED private hire driver, a licenced private hire operator, both of whom were supported by 1 licenced private hire driver and 3 Hackney Carriage drivers.”

Yes you may. As I have said the site is a PH (minicab ,vernacular) trying to trade off the superior taxi trade name. Thanks for confirming it.

As you are fond of going back over old ground how about quoting all the anti London taxi posts that were on these sites. Oh I forgot Mr Foster had to wipe all the input due to the fear of being sued. You had to wipe all the public import on your minicab site also. But the thing is some of us kept the posts and you trying to rewrite the past and deconstruct won’t wash. One of the first scum posts that I can find was made by an ‘esteemed’ member on TTF on the Monday 30/09/02 21:08:06:-

“The yapoo site, which I have never posted on (you can believe that or not, I couldn't give a f***), is a disgrace to the London HC trade. What a shame that out of the 20,000 London cabbies all the scum appear to post on it.”

There’s plenty more, how about this one from equally ‘esteemed’ Nigel:-

“Maurice, the London Bashing thing stems from when we were at Donnington in May. A London HC driver came up to our stand and asked Alan who we were? Alan got talking to him and, when he found out Alan was a PH driver he made a sarcastic comment and walked off It's a well known thing up north cockneys are ignorant people.”

So there you have it London bashing did go on before I joined the list.

I say the same to you Mr Foster read the back posts. You will find that my posts were not hateful, they were calm and to the point at issue, unlike your posts. You don't address what is being said you actually try to attack people’s persona, "hateful" etc. You know nothing of my personality. Right as ninepence in the brain box department that’s me!

Read the posts and you will find that hateful falls at the feet of you and your chums. Many posts were directed at the notion "we don't like you down south lot".

Talking of reading posts you seem to have the memory of a goldfish. I didn't say I was getting in touch with the data protection people. I was alerting members of the list that personal, hidden, information is not safe in your hands.

You would have tried to cover your tracks well enough. (Just like the w***** letter sent to me.) I suppose that is why Mick cannot find who gave e-mail addresses away.

Claude

Maurice I've been called some things in my time but an esteemed Nigel, is that a sexual advance Maurice???? You know us northern lads we still have our flat caps and whipetts and smoke woodbines, chew baccy and drink Stout. I can do one thing Maurice you can't and thats lie straight in bed at night. Still getting over the esteemed Nigel bit it's sent me all of a quiver Maurice.
