Don't know but think about it, 45K plate and a taxi driver who gets a free pass to the appeal courts and he wants to forfeit the chance of winning his plate by not opposing the council’s application. I already made him the offer of getting everyone together on this and he threw it back in my face. All the 23 remaining applicants have to do is back this action but Mr. Salteri is not interested.


I’ve had it with this lot for this very reason I have come to the conclusion that almost all the taxi drivers in Edinburgh have some sort of mental disorder which makes them subservient to the establishment in every way. Have you ever seen the film the Truman Show or the Matrix, well that’s what it’s like up here, only it’s not the red pill or the blue pill this lot are so far plugged in to the system if they look up they can see it’s tonsils. And everyone up here thinks I’m mad, they need to see it from where I stand. Surely it can’t be like this everywhere in the country.


I feel like I am trying to escape the Borg.


It's called a "system", and for most it work here, Have you ever considered you might just be attacking this from the wrong angle?

I’m all ears, enlighten me to the angles, and for the most part the system doesn’t work. Unless of course you are talking about the under privileged majority propping up the over privileged minority by turning people into brain dead unit’s of production. Not only do they not understand the argument they struggle to comprehend anything above the base level of instincts. Pavlov got it right, ring the bell and they all start drooling at the mouth, challenge them to think and they nearly have a seizure.

You may think I am being a bit hard on the majority of servile intellectually impotent [edited by admin] who drive taxis but after what I’ve witnessed in the last few months I fail to see where I’ve got it wrong. Not only are they a gutless shower but brain dead in the extreme, no wonder the C.E.C treat them with contempt and yes I’m just about as bad but with good reason.

I hope you don’t think I’m being too hard but quite honestly extermination would be too good for them, and what’s more to the point I don’t even think they would notice.

:evil:

As much as I hate to admit it money is not the real problem if you have a dedicated number of individuals with backbone. Unfortunately we don’t. Nor do they have the will to win. I can only hope they can see the opportunity afforded to them under the circumstances, but in all truth, I don’t. Quite honestly, without someone holding their hands and taking all the risks I don’t think they could win this on their best day.



Did you honestly expect anything different Mr T?

Thats society for you.

People will expect everything from you as you have put yourself in the driving seat. When it comes to getting on board, people run scared, frightened of the unknown and unforseen consequences.

I would have liked to have been surprised?

And as for being in the driving seat the [edited by admin] dug me up, now it’s my turn, [edited by admin] the lot of them, if it’s a fight they want then I’m just getting started, I have my limits and now the dye is cast. A few hundred years ago and heads would be on spikes, problem solved. :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil:

What they think you have but haven't.

The point point being the illusion of owning at least something while owning nothing.


Ownership is about who is in control of of the illusion. You tell me, is it us, or them, the people that control the you or the us?


I'am all ears?

So what, you all claim to be business men and the buying and selling of plates is business is it not and you’re worried about how many plates Mr Salteri has. How does over 800 Ph work into your buying and selling of plates scenario.


Diesel, crawl back under your rock down at the Cannon Mills with the rest of the morons.

Normally I don’t take it upon myself to insult people in such a crass fashion but now I am beyond listening to the numpty brigade from Edinburgh.

You are making a lot of assumptions and talking [edited by admin] as usual.
