Taxi Driver Online

yip i agree with skull on one thing and only one thing only and that is that you are a total FANNY


why post if all you want to do is take the [edited by admin] you go on about others doing what you are doing.
the thing that gets me is its ok for that other site to post stuff about Skull with no right to reply bit poor if you ask me.

would love to post more but away to drive the £700 plate on the front of the motor and not the 40K one you have.

once again why post on this forum if its that bad why look at this or any forums that talk about TAXI/PH issues

Repeat the lie as often as you want. It still wont be true. I DONT OWN A PLATE and the guy I drive for got his for nowt too

As for taking the p1ss, well that bit is true, but then slapheid IS a complete laughing stock, and the reason he's allowed to rant here is easy, he agrees with the whole dereg ethos. Notice he's still not upto his favourite trick and demanding YOUR name chipper

you will of course notice that despite the differing of opinions, you being anti dereg are still allowed to rant on here.
but we are not allowed to debate on fastblacks.
it doesnt take a genius to work out why.
could it possibly be becouse dereg is defenable and a viable argument, and quantity control isnt, so all you can do is ban us, or lose the argument, which is effectivly what has happened.

i see civil war is breaking out in edinburgh, skull.

as predicted.

i love it when a plan comes together.

so many disgrunteled drivers out thier making less and less,while being charged more and more.
and so many nasty little tinpot dictators in the form of owners, up to thier eyes in debt.
did someone say revolution count me in comrade skull

Yes brother Ali!


Would you Adam and Eve it?:shock:


Have a wee look on Fasties they are actually discussing the real issues, like, “losing all their work”, holy sh** . Now the question has to be asked if they are losing all this work why anyone would want to pay 40K for a Licence Plate.

Ph, na, there no taking our work we’ve got that much wee are giving it away.

The so called “Taxi Drivers” or “council employees” are earning less and less while paying out more and more, for what exactly a little badge embroidered on their jumper, a wee yellow plate and a nice shiny taxi. Sorry I meant to say “businessman. If I repeat “businessman” often enough even I might believe it:roll:


Do you really think the penny has dropped? I doubt it but I live in hope. It can only be a matter of time before they deny this nightmare even happened. Give it a little time, 2 years perhaps, they will find out they weren’t asleep after all.

I wonder how much a plate will be worth with no work to pay the finance. Do you think they have given this any though?

Interesting! I had the worst Friday night I have had in the few years I have done this job the other week, I looked back to see what I had done on the same night for the last few years and worked out the drop in percentages.

03/03 I took 31% more than this year

03/04 I took 31.25% more than this year

03/05 I took 49.40% more than this year

I have not taken into account the fare increases we have had so the figures would be even worse than they are.

Thanks Stu.



Now, how much is a plate in Edinburgh and if we are not doing the work who is?

Can't be the Ph they have only doubled in the last 3 years.

40K for what exactly?

The quicker derestriction hits Edinburgh the better.

Is Torncasualty MIA?


It seems all the answers to his questions are now being discussed on Fasties. The trade is knackered and it's only going to get worse.

40K a plate

Come clean Torncasualty how much did you pay?

Oh I remember now you don't have a plate do you

Your just here to tell us how good it is to be a driver with no prospect of being a plate holder unless you want to buy into a dying trade.

What a plonker you are Torncasualty


Within 3 years you will be working for a bowl of rice. Great eh you had it right all along.

MIA - nah out enjoying myself with my non taxi driving mates in the real world

When you shaved your head did you lose your mind you slapheided lobotomised cretin.

Get it through your facking thick heid. I don't own a plate. I don't want a plate.

But then you don't listen to arguments you just shout lies and repeat them often enough in the hope that enough idiots like yourself will believe them.

You make claims about me - all wrong - but I'm going to try asking you a couple of questions. Dinnae give me all your [edited by admin] that you don't "debate" with people whos names you don't know, cos you quite obviously do that here all the time.

So here we go - do you own a PH?

Why you still driving a taxi if you hate it so much - no money in milk?

And lastly and most importantly EXACTLY what benefits as a mere driver will I get when according to you the inevitable happens and deregulation happens.
Remember if you dont answer the questions youll prove yourself just to be a troubemaking sh1tstirrer. Dont spew all your usual [edited by admin] just answer the questions. I'll even leave out my usual smillies so as no to confuse you.

And if all the stuff about quality comes into it forget it - youre still driving and your one of the most dangerous pieces of lowlife Ive ever encountered in the job. Thats all it is to me - a job - a job to pay my mortgage - something you seem intent ensuring I cant do.

Edinburgh council cant apply the quality standards they have now, so theyve go no chance once you get your way, then it'll be dog eat dog, but that will suit you and your thuggish mate frae niddrie.

Rattled? Me? Nah? youll have to work harder to wind me up. Really want to put some smillies in here but I gave my word I wouldnt.

Ask me nicely?

Torncasualty

Why don’t you pop over to fastblacks it seems they are discussing the loss of work.

Something you probably don’t understand.


You might want to ask them how you are going to pay for your mortgage if you can’t get a drive because of the oversupply of drivers. You then might ask if your rental is going to increase in relation to the loss of work a bit like your hours. Will you be working more or less in a few years time, that’s if you still have a drive and you’re not driving a Ph because you can’t get one? Or maybe you will just trot out and pay 40k to keep yourself in a job while earning less and less to pay the finance while pushing up the artificial plate premiums due to the rationing of licence plates. This means more and more drives looking for work and getting desperate because they can’t afford the rental nor can they afford to be out of work.

As for my Ph, only one, you have been speaking to the wrong people? I hate “Taxi Drivers” not driving taxis and only because of thick stupid pricks like you who can’t understand the basic logic of a situation because of fear.

Wake-up pretty boy you only have a few years left before you can’t pay your mortgage, anyway, better taking your chances with the rest of us it’s a hell of a lot more fun.

See you for a coffee sometime soon I hope.

I know u fellas like playing ping pong with this guy but he's not worth the bandwidth. My advice is to ignore him completely until he demonstrates that he can debate with civility.

This from the King of "I've said it so it must be true"

Yer having a facking laugh.


You sound like Miss Jean Brodie - was it the Marcia Blain School for Aspiring Lawyers of English Gentlefolk you attended?

Notice to that ole slapheid ignored my smillie-less questions - nae surprise there then

i think in youre anger, you have ignored the answers from skull, he answered them all.

ph yes 1 youre point ?

dont hate the job just taxi drivers like you

as for the benefits for guys like you, well thier are tons of reasons, all answered in full all over the web and on this site in particular, if you cant see the benefits then tough, we are not doing it for you, funnily enough we are doing it for us, you may just benefit from our work, thats if you really are a driver
on the other hand if yer an owner then i can see why youre so upset, cause it certainly wont benefit owners
