PADDINGTON BILL THE THREAD YOU WROTE OF WRITES WITH A QUILL
J/D AND S/M I WISH WERE NO MORE
BUT WASHED UP ON THE BEACH BESIDE ROCK AND ORE

THEY CAME OVER THE HILL FROM BEACHY HEAD
NO BODIES WERE FOUND PRESUMED THEY WERE DEAD
WE ALL HAD A PARTY A WONDERFULL DO
THEN PEOPLE GOT LETTERS THAT TAXIBANK WERE GOING TO SUE

TRY HARD AS YOU MIGHT TO WIN WITH A FIGHT
DONT HAVE J/D OR S/M ON YOUR SIDE COZ THEY ARE JUST SHYTE
THEY CANT WIN A CASE I MUST BE FRANK
THEY HAVE DONE F###ALL FOR POOR TAXIBANK

WHATEVER YOUR FEELINGS YOU MUST MAKE A FUSS
TAKE NOTICE OF KAVANAGH THAT ONCE DROVE A BUS
HE ARGUED AND FOUGHT THAT IS PLAIN TO SEE
HE CONVINCED THE GOVERNMENT TO KNOCK BACK OFT

NOW HACKNEY CARRIAGE DRIVERS HAVE BEEN IN A PLIGHT
IF WE ALL STICK TOGETHER WE WILL WIN ANY FIGHT
LET US HAIL AND RESPECT WHAT OTHERS HAVE DONE
THE LIKES OF NIDGE MARCHANT PARDON THE PUN
ALONG WITH GATESHEAD ANGEL WHO HAS DONE US SO PROUD
THESE FINE PILLARS OF THE COMMUNITY STOOD OUT FROM THE CROWD

He's a giant of man, who takes no slack,
But he carries the world upon his back.
He likes debate, when it goes his way,
Holding facts to hostage, to win the day.

With faded wit and a drunken charm.
He means the Taxi trade no harm.
His mind is good but not so sharp,
And perhaps one day, we'll see it spark.

He travelled here, he travelled there,
he travelled almost everywhere.
From Watford town to Beach head,
he drove his car till it was dead.

He brought the news, but much too late,
Our TDO was so irate.
He said oh dear, what can I do,
My mates in Watford hadn't a clue.

His brain was active, about to explode,
when Mr Kavanagh, came on the phone.
His face lit up, like a Roman Candle
and shouted out, I've got an angle.

My colleague in London, said we'll use the spin,
and blame it all on dusty bin.
You can't do that, said the Sussex man
We can't let Dusty carry the can.

So it came to pass, that the Taxi trade
Went down to London, for the big parade.
Red ones, Black ones, Blue ones too,
As all the vehicles formed a queue.

Mr Kavanagh, stood up to preach,
with five new rule books at his feet.
with these five books I'll feed you all
Because I'm God, to one and all.

God sat down to great applause,
the congregation was so enthralled.
He turned around to his number two
and whispered softly, that's it I'm through.

The lads trekked home with their heads held high,
To preach the Gospel with uncle Nige,
And now they preach both night and day
But no one listens, to what they say.

Anticipation has won the day,
It won't be long, to Black Tuesday.
Four more days we have to wait,
And then the trade will know its fate.

It won't matter, one iota,
if the Government, squash the Quota,
I'll still have my Cab and plate,
and thank God others, wont have to wait.

JD

Four more days, to Black Tuesday.

MANY TRUE WORDS ARE SPOKEN IN JESJ
ESPECIALLY THE HEADLINES DEPICTED BY GUEST
TO SOLICIT THIS SITE BY DAY AND BY NIGHT
J/D AND S/M ARE THE SAME PERSON ALRIGHT

THEY DONT SPEAK FOR US OR LADS ON THE RANK
THEY ARE MERELY SOLICITORS FOR TAXIBANK
THE BUGGERS HAVE FOOLED YOU I MUST SAY THIS
COZ THEY SET THIS SITE UP TO EXTRACT YOUR P$$$

THE MONGERS INVOLVED COME FROM FAR AND WIDE
TO SUCCUMB THE POOR DRIVERS AND FOLK WITH A BRIBE
BROWN PACKAGES PAST ON TO PEOPLE ABOVE
THERE ALL GOING TO HELL THANK GOODNESS WITH LOVE

THE PUPPETEERS THE MAIN MEN WE NO WHO THEY ARE
GAIN DRIVERS AND STAFF WITH A SHINEY NEW CAR
A RIGHT OLD MESS HAS BEEN LEFT IN THERE WAKE
T&G OFFICIALS HAVE QUELLED THE EARTHQUAKE

BACK ONTO TUESDAY J/D AND S/M WRITE
WE WONT BE ABLE TO STAND THE SMELL OF THERE SHYTE
THE SHOPS RUN OUT OF TISSUES OH WHAT A DAY
BUT STILL P/H DRIVERS WILL HAVE MORE TO PAY

THE FAT CATS GOT FATTER BUT START TO LOOSE WEIGHT
WHEN TUESDAY HAS PAST THEY WILL SUM UP THERE FATE
OH WHAT A PITY THE FAT LADY SINGS
BACK DOWN TO REALITY YOUR NOT PULLING THE STRINGS

COMETH THE HOUR I JUST CANNOT WAIT
WHEN S/M UNFORTUNATLY WILL NOT GET HIS PLATE
PUT UP AND SHUT UP ONCE AND FOR ALL
YOU AINT HAD A CLUE YOU KNOW SIMPLY F$$$ALL

Ah so J/D and S/M are the same person?

Well, that's interesting. And indeed, very clever too, as their respective phraseologies and styles of writing are so totally different.

But it made a good poem, so who cares.

I just find it hard to credit that two people who hold a similar opinion on a subject are necessarily and obviously the same person only if said opinion differs from that of the T&G.

I don't think it's quite got through old thick head Nigel's skull, that Ged knows John, but doesn't know me. So if I'm John, then Ged can't be Ged, or perhaps Ged is me, or me Ged. I also think the Captain knows John, so is the Captain me, or is he Ged, maybe the Captain is John, who really is me. But I'm (according to old thick head) also Dusty, but hang on, he is Tom. :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll:

I could go on forever describing the world according to Nigel, but I've got to go back to my solicitors office. :wink:

The funny thing about all this, is the only person who believes Nigel, is the idiot from the London site.

Called me a 'faceless icon' if you please. :D :D

How on earth will I sleep tonight now? :?

That's easy just spend interminable hours trying to nick work around the candy floss stand in Kiss Me Quick Land and whilst you are empty just dream of being a London Taxi driver. As it is just a day dream the anguish will tire you out.

What a lark. Remember how you used to say how the OFT were going to sort London out and open the gates up. "No more Novelty Rock Emporium to Candy Floss stand for me" thought old Suspect.

Claude :evil:

Well the government hasn't responded yet Claude, but if they leave you chaps alone, but give me my taxi plate, well I can live with that. :wink:

Because that's all I want, just to be treated like a taxi driver in London, or a taxi driver in Mansfield, or even a taxi driver in Canterbury, by simply being able to plate my own taxi.

Alas, the odd one or two in those areas, seem fit to want to deny me the opportunity that they have.

As I said, it's do as I say, not what I do.
