Congratulations jack
As I've only been working oxford less than a year with my knowledge I'd say if you want to drive whole shift I suggest come on around 2pm and finish 1am-2 as work at that times tends to quiet down so no point staying after 2am trains still come but most cabbies will be there so you'll Just end up waiting for nothing and weekends 4pm work goes on till around 4am as clubs close but they'll still be a little work after when the last club closes at 4am but if you want to drive a shift and a driver to do another shift there's day 7am-5pm and night 6pm-2am/4am most drivers will work nights and its 60/40 to you, you pay everything fuel,insurance,mot,tax the driver takes his 40%.
You might want to join a taxi firm so you'll have a radio circuit there's station cars Just out of oxford new firm I am with them good fares mainly oxford to surrounding villages or villages to oxford and weekly rent it £90.
Just private message me for any more info.

It was a joke that went straight over your head. Grandad picked up on it and misspelled sentance but you seem to have a bee in your bonnet

Or perhaps it was such a feeble joke that I didn't notice it?

And maybe you'll actually get round to explaining it to us lesser mortals sometime?

Oh how ive missed you, now i know this will be hard for you to get your head around but the so called value of my plate is not something i dwell on.Not nearly as much as you ! Ive had it for god knows how long so its paid for itself .The same way say,my house has.As in life some people rent,some buy.Some maybe like yourself have a hint of dare i say it "jelousy" xx

By the way, Toots, Skippy's missing full stop was a punctuation error rather than a grammatical one.

Thus one spelling mistake and no sign of any grammatical errors at all; that's why I took issue with your dig at Skippy, joking or otherwise.

Thus by the standards of the forum generally - ie numerous spelling, grammatical and punctuation errors - Skippy's post was an object lesson in good English, particularly from a Scotsman

But as I said I'm not quite so sure about the substantive points he was making

Stop making a mountain out of a molehill ffs. I never mentioned the full stop anyway. It's a good job I know Skippy has a sense of humour and as I posted earlier 'don't worry, be happy' I made a deliberate error on grammer, I use spellchecker ffs I'm not perfect

Me making a mountain out of a molehill?

It was you who made the initial point, and all I did was post a gentle response asking what was wrong with Skippy's grammar, but you clearly had no answer and since then have done your level best to make it look like I'm the one who's missing the point, being pedantic, making a mountain out of a molehill etc.

Listen, I know there's absolutely no one on here likes me posting, but don't worry, I'll be out of your hair soon when the site's back up and running properly.

And to be honest I couldn't really care less about TDO, but have just come back briefly to help someone out that I have a great deal of respect for, and because despite the bull on here there's also lots of useful information in the archives for research etc. And because it was yours truly who set the site up originally

A few days ago we thought the site and all the archives had basically disappeared permanently - and we certainly wouldn't have been starting it from scratch again - and I still really can't work out why I felt so bothered about it

Why on earth would you think that. I enjoy your posting. Serious issues get sorted but a bit of banter along the way livens the day up.

As a joke, which is why I misspelled 'grammer'. In answer to what was wrong he wrote 'waist' instead of 'waste', he clearly had something else on his mind, which would have been my follow up if Skippy had posted in reply Talk about spoil the plot



I have no problem with your posts, they make for lively discussion, not that it would bother you if I did



I noticed when I first joined and had a look at the members and when they joined that you where there at the beginning. I often wondered where you'd gone to



I know I'd be bothered if I'd started something from scratch only to loose it all when it has achieved what this site has. Imho it's the best site for taxis/ph on the web.

If thats what happens in Oxford the tax man will want a word as to why the driver is not on the min wage plus OT, with you paying his tax and NI and all sickness and holiday pay.
Oops almost forgot the full stop.

Er, thanks Grandad.

And obviously I overegged the pudding a bit there, but for example when I departed a few weeks ago when someone was getting a bit too personal a bit too often it was pretty obvious whose side almost everyone wasn't taking.

And I'm all for a bit of banter as well, but it just goes too far too much of the time, and in fact even when TDO started eight years ago I already found that whole side of things a bit tiresome, and for obvious reasons things were never going to improve in that regard, despite my hope and niavety that it could.

And clearly my aim has never been to win any popularity contests or even find favour with anything other than a small minority, but there comes a point...

You can't buy a plate in Blackpool, they belong to the LA. You can however buy a 30 year old hack for £30k that comes with a 'free' plate.

Must admit i do like when people talk sh1te,especially about something they now very little about.I take your tongue in cheek,obviously 30years old is a exageration for your amusement,but the 30 grand your way of the mark even for the plate x
