Why is the choice between what you believe you know and an unknown 'real' truth so fascinating? How could a choice possibly be made? On the one hand everyone you love and everything that you have built you life upon. One the other the promise only of truth.

The question then is not about pills, but what they stand for in these circumstances. The question is asking us whether reality, truth, is worth pursuing. The blue pill will leave us as we are, in a life consisting of habit, of things we believe we know. We are comfortable, we do not need truth to live. The blue pill symbolises commuting to work every day, or brushing your teeth.


:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
oh how it sum's it up beautifully :D

who the feck would lease a taxi in a DE-restricted market for £200 when they can run their own for £50 pw :?: SKULL's willing too

oh btw i thought you said your metro was as good as new. :wink:
but mine is an auld tank :roll: .
you know Dougie that most in the trade cant even see street cars,there irrelevant to them(wrongly so).
your metro is an auld tank to them as its 8 years old. July 2003 = 7 years in July only 219,000 miles on clock Less milage than some 06s
and you are some daft street car driver to them who runs about in an auld tank.

thats not my opinion Dougie, it's theirs. Don't care
isn't it funny how your opinion of me hardly differs at all from their opinion of you . I think your an intellegent guy
your mind is closed Dougie. WIDE OPEN and commercially aware
it appears theres some sort of cloning going on. If i'm worth cloning that's a compliment


OK we disagree but i've also have been hearing that the trade will De-limit for years!!! So far i'm winning the Debate :D :D :D

Dougie you ain't debating anything,let alone winning :lol:

you see Dougie! no one really knows what your on about and where you coming from.
in fact i don't think you know either,your simply responding to a perceived threat,its a knee jerk response,theres no logic to your so called arguments.and your failure to respond to counter arguments of the tripe you've posted, just shows that you haven't thought anything through and have no real idea what your talking about.

of course your gonna disagree, so just you carry on winning the debate :lol: :lol: :lol:

is this your brilliant commercial mind at work,a poster and a few business cards that you hand out in your taxi.

Dougie you have to do the work yourself,which takes you away from taxi driving,in fact it doesn't really do that since its all done in your taxi,and all for the same money as you would make driving your taxi.

come to think of it, isn't it just driving a taxi for a set fare. :roll:

you should let branson know if you have any other cracking ideas like that ,doing the same thing and calling it somit else only in Edinburgh eh :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Dougie, why would the council be interested in the old B&Q at Stevenson, as a Vehicle Testing Centre? :shock:

The above information came from an interesting source. I was wondering if anyone knows anything?

:wink:

I already told you I disagreed with you. Now you resort to insults because you lost the argument.

There are many things thats been said about you, window licker, was one, retarded was another, dribbling imbecile was a personal favourite, although my absolute favorite was comparing you to the drunken scotsman Virgin Rail employ to go up and down the west coast mainline specifically to annoy standard class passengers, special brew in hand. :lol:

You don't disagree CC, you tow the party line irrespective of equality and the rights of drivers. Your argument is simply to enslave one group to the benefit of the other. Without driver's rights being denied there are no vested interests to protect, everyone is equal.

If you pin a badge on a monkey, it's still a monkey. Take Dougie, for instance, he's got the badge. . .
