Spot on Skull, a complete compendium with all the details and timelines of the entire sordid affair.

My information is that a knock on the door and a Fiscals' warrant to take away hard drives is on the cards. A specialist unit out of Fettes has been on the case for a long time at mine and others insistance. The monitoring of the Fast Blacks forum has revealed an amazing array of ISP addresses and email addresses, from the usual suspects to some you wouldn't believe.

It's an amazing thing spyware and tagging, I am 'glad' to say no 'stone' was left unturned!

I think Fat Boab's work is almost done. To closely quote the infamous MVF and his sign off line "May The Force Be With You Soon Boys"

Here's Central's answer to the loss of their prized airport rank. It took a lot of committee time and brainstorming sessions to come up with this.

It's a stoater Tony!

Well, all of this has been most entertaining. I'm almost sad not to be on the ranks listening to all the squealing and back biting, but I too, will no longer be frequenting this forum. I've decided to put a line under anything involving Taxis by the end of this month, even if it does give me a bloody good laugh. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

I still think you'll be struggling to bring about Murray's demise, when you consider what's already happened and how stupid your average CRT member really is. These guys would vote for Monkeys and probably couldn't spot the difference. #-o

If there's one thing I've learned in all my time driving taxis, is that nothing really changes and the sheeple will never wake-up, at least not on mass. #-o

Here's a suggestion, why doesn't CRT have a raffle to see who gets a place on the committee? :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

молодцом the committee! Transparency and honesty were the most things evident at tonight's meeting. As rafa would say all the FACTS were there in the documentation. Now CRT ask yourself which committee has handled themselves in the correct manner?? You promised the truth but so far we've only had childish name calling and videos with appalling grammar.
You wonder why unlike the man from del monte we said no????
You made an arse of the airport tender.....should have told the shrooms to keep their mouth shut cause all we were hearing was we've got the NHS contract (at almost 50% discount!!) and now we're going for the airport to blow city cabs oot the water!!
Time for a song........we'll meet again, don't know where, don't know when but I'll know we'll meet again some sunny day!!

I heard a wee story last night. A few weeks before the CRT tender got rejected, certain individuals (pals of the committee) were being told CRT was to be awarded a major contract, and as a consequence, their radio values would be worth 12K.

Having all your eggs in one basket springs to mind. #-o =D> =D> =D>

Have the bold boys been misleading and deceptive once again?

How much more is to come out the woodwork before the March 3rd AGM? Take a look at this little nugget from Companies House, company number SC259431

A private hire car company owned by Central Radio Taxis (Tollcross) Limited.

Name & Registered Office:EDINBURGH PRIVATE HIRE LIMITED 8 ST PETERS BUILDING GILMORE PLACE EDINBURGH EH3 9PG Company No. SC259431

Not content with having two airport companies for their failed airport bid lo and behold they go the whole hog and open a PHC company. The members will be queuing round to Fountainbridge to get answers on this.

Oh Murray how do you deal with this? A little clue, don't ask Tony or Kevin, maybe an email for advice from The Edinburgh Chamber of Commerce?

Your futures bright, your futures painting!

It's gone all quiet over on http://www.thetaxiforum.com

The police inquiry and the revelations into who's who seems to have put their gas at a peep. #-o

I wonder if there will be a number of resignations before the up-and-coming CRT, AGM on the 3rd of March? There's also the question of their actions, if proven, bringing the company into disrepute?

Could it be that certain individuals, will not only be forced to resign but face being kicked out of the company before having their licenses suspended up at Cooncil HQ?

It will be interesting to see how all this plays out. :-|

BRAVO BRAVO BRAVO. I FOR ONE AM HOPING THE CITY CABS COMMITTEE WILL BE INCLUDED IN THE QUEENS HONOURS LIST WHEN THEY ARE NEXT ANNOUNCED. WHAT A FANTASTIC ACHIEVEMENT ON SECURING THE AIRPORT CONTRACT.

I DO HOPE THAT ALL THE SPIN COMING OUT OF CRT TOWERS WILL NOW SUBSIDE AND THEY CONCENTRATE ON REPAIRING THE UNREPAIRABLE. IT IS IRONIC THAT THE CRT MEMBERS HAVE BEEN DISCREDITING CITY CABS FOR WORKING ALONGSIDE PH, WHEN ALL ALONG THE CRT COMMITTEE HAVE BEEN PLANNING TO START THEIR OWN PH COMPANY "LAUGHABLE". RUMOUR HAS IT THEY WERE GOING TO BE CALLED "CENTRAL UNIFIED NONBRIEFHOLDERS TAXI SOCIETY" BUT QUICKLY OPTED FOR SOMETHING ELSE ON REALISATION OF WHAT THEY WOULD BE CALLED IF SHORTENED TO INTIALS, RUMOUR ONLY!!!!

FAT BOAB:- "YOUR SO MONEYSUPERMARKET YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW IT" AND FOR THAT WE SALUTE YOU.
YOU WILL BE HEALD IN TAXI FOKELORE FOR DECADES TO COME.

ON BEING ASKED WHAT MY FEELINGS WERE ON HEARING CITY CABS HAD WON THE AIRPORT TENDER? MY REPLY



"I FEEL EPIC !!!!!!!!!,

Bonjour!!

My my we're a multilingual bunch! Central taxis having their own private hire cars??? Surely not! Do the members approve?? Is this plan Z??
So If they did put a deposit down on 70 new gold cars that must mean they were going for the airport alone?? That would certainly give a whole new meaning to the word hypocrites.

The thing is it didn't need to be this way. As usual the personalities within this trade f*** it up for the rest. Self interest and greed prevails. CRT went alone because some are still hurting about the merger. I think more city cabs drivers would have sympathy if we hadn't been getting told central were at war with city. The trade seems determined to destruct from within.
