If memory serves me right, long long ago in a forum no-longer with us, someone (not me) was a bit clued up on the legal side (definitely not me).

The members on that forum couldn't believe that this chap was also a PH/HC driver, and wanted to know his inns and outs.

One member even said he could be a BIN MAN.

That chap then got the hump that his fellow colleagues had such a low opinion of their fellow drivers (in that they wouldn't except a fellow driver had a brain) that he left that forum, never to be seen or heard from again.

Soon after a cheeky chappy appeared on that forum, under the name of the BIN MAN. :wink:

And the rest is history. :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll:

When I gave up particle beam physics to become a cabby, I had nearly discovered a safe form of nuclear fission.


Amazing Andy.

For 30 years are business was based on carrying particle beam physicists and Nucleur fission experts.

Tom, we too have an account with "those" people. :wink:

Send a new driver to pick up there, and you find it aint on the map !!!

Er... Were they not experts on Fusion rather than Fission?

Have you done the runs down to Previsan/Geneva?

Gosh, what a small world.

I actually met my wife at Europe's biggest Fusion project, taking her visitors to Heathrow.

Do you reckon Dusty is a Licensing Officer then?



Well I've been everything from a senior council executive to the local bin man, according to forum contributors :)

In fact that was where the name came from, I started posting a couple of years ago, and one poster, who shall remain nameless, clearly didn't like what I had to say, and asked why they should take me seriously' as I could be the 'local bin man'.

Cue my email address and 'Dusty Bin'!

Dusty

taxi driver you are not, as you cannot sell a line "like well London Cabbies are not helpfull, a lady told me and gave me a pound tip so I know"

Don't forget Dusty, you were also called a solicitor.

Frankly, it doesn't matter who/what you are, but I welcome the intelligence of some of your posts. They are both educational, and well sourced even when I don't agree with them. Perhaps thats why we are always trying to put you in a pigeon hole. The word is intigued.


not all the world.

For a grand, I'd believe that your cheque is in the post.
