Imagine someone wanting to sell a plate for profit? Now there's a strange concept. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:


Now don't tell me edinburghlad, you wouldn't sell, you would give it away :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:


What a turkey :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Yeah, and if 400 guys get their plate from the council because of what we're doing, you don't think that would be a vote of support?

And we wouldn't have helped them?

How altruistic do you have to be before you guys see the light?

:lol:

Oh, and by "free market crap", I take it you've just binned the entire ethos of the market adopted by the New Labour Tory party?

Why should there only be a free market for some?
But no free market when councils can exercise their power to deny a free market to us?

:?

Oh aye, we imagined it, your leader making threats, just like the attacks on company members?


Here's one for you : ask them about p40's driver and his prostrate problem and the suspension for taking a pi** at the side of the taxi?

While you are at it, remind them about the 60K worth of idle mercs?


Pinky and Perky are taking the [edited by admin] out of you big time son :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:


What scumbags .. . . :roll:


I can't help but notice you missed this one Edinburghlad?


While you are at it, have a wee look at the fines Pinky an Perky have been using to exercise their egos (60K worth) . . . these guys are power mad .

Even City Cabs member are having a wee laugh at what's going on

That’s the sad thing about the internet, it gives as*holes like you a life. Before the internet, you weren’t even a pseudonym on a taxi forum. Now that you are someone, (104 posts, wow) how about saying something worthwhile, come on surprise us all?


Whatever you come up with I have no doubt it will be something original.:roll:

We all start somewhere Skull ............ and when you had 104 posts you were saying the exact same things as you are now, so whats the differance mate.

The simple truth is that you had your plate FOR FREE and you sold it ................ to my mind as soon as you did that you sold your right to be taken seriously.

Only my opinion though :wink:

B. Lucky :D

I think Alex would be somewhat releived. :-$


Yes, you're right. A good idea. And hosted in Timbuktu where it would have a chance of remaining on line. Isn't it curious that you can publish porn, violence and incitement to revolution much more readily than you can tell the truth about the conduct of some in the Edinburgh Taxi trade who are using Company funds to mount what is in reality a personal campaign?

But the point of the post is that free speech has died. By ignoring the premise you've accepted that you now live in a society where you have no right to free speech. In short you have very few rights.

BTW The information in the original post was factually accurate as I understand it. There will be no law suit about the content. It would have to have been founded on inaccuracy or lies to be actionable.

And anyway, there is no point sueing when the individual who is the target of your suit has no assetts to facilitate any financial redress. All you end up with is a bill for the suit that you have to meet yourself. Quality.


"a personal campaign",this is exactly what you are doing Jim,so wheres the difference. :shock:
"the conduct of some in the Edinburgh taxi trade",just look at your little friend Jim,do you think his conduct has been all above board. :shock:
Free speech has not died Jim,everybody is just sick to death hearing about how hard done by you and Garry are. :shock:
"the information in the original post was factually accurate as i understand it",now are we all supposed to believe this, coming from a known liar and we all know how you understand things Jim,if it goes against you it's all lies and corruption.
"all you end up with is a bill for the suit that you have to meet yourself",are you speaking through experience here Jim. :lol: :lol:
Btw have you heard the news,looks like your going to have the councilors in the dock that you wanted and yes they have all the relevant information that once again proves that there is NO UNMET DEMAND,things just go from bad to worse for you Jimbo,cant wait to hear your response to yet another embarrassing encounter with the courts.
Never mind though,your bound to be making thousands with all these fares standing on street corners. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
There's at least twelve guys i know of that will be there including myself,i can see another standing ovation Jim,so please stay behind for the ridicule

We all know what you will come up with Gary,something like the council are corrupt, the cab office are corrupt,the courts are corrupt and now TDO are corrupt.Now what about you saying something worthwhile. :roll:
Shame you cant get your £1205 back looks like you are going to need it. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Hundreds have sold plates- big deal. :roll: Some got them off a list and other bought but all have a right to sell.

It's not my system but there's :roll: :roll: :)

Don't embarrass yourself. I've seen all you neaps (turnips, for those south of the border ) there before, it's not like you understand what's going on.

Oh and btw, it can take a couple of months before the sheriffs decision is made public. It is extremely unlikely you'll get to know anything on the day. :wink:

Sorry for the delay Gary. I was working over the weekend as I can choose my own hours thanks to owning my own cab!!! All those years of blood sweat and tears are worth it :wink:

I am not against people selling plates but I do object to people like you who have had one and sold it. I mean why would anyone sell there business if its making good money!!! That’s just a stupid thing to do unless you were retiring due to age or ill health...

And I am happy with the two guys at the top in Central. They do a great job and I am happy with the way things are going at the moment. I am making more cash and they are making sure people like yourself don’t wreck the trade for everyone else.

If you ever do manage to win your case I will still smile when I think about all the rent you have paid all those years and I am looking forward to the Haymarket rank shutting down so you can make even less money that you do now :D
