How patronising, do you also have a blackman, an Asian, etc etc.
Do they tell the best racial jokes.
I need to apologise to the rest of humanity on your behalf, Sorry folks he means well but is mis-guided. There I feel better now, was it good for you, I do hope so.

Profane enough for you? :lol:



We can all see why you are a LONE Ranger, I hope you remain ALONE. Comments like that show what dregs get into this trade and why will never get the respect most of us deserve for the service we provide.

You really are a complete brainless asshole.

Sorry if I have offended you, :roll: but I just say what I think, it sounds like rubbish to me and I am not afraid to say it, frankly I think it's comments like tiggers that are offensive, remember we have the equality legislation now and comments like "using the PMT excuse as a last resort" is just a nonsense, it's cringe making guff!

"I've got PMT so can legally get away with murder ............ who's next?"

Thats a little offensive as well really isn't it?

or how about this wonderful piece:

Having the need for a 6 seater this afternoon I borrowed an E7 from my office and only someone like me (female and blonde) could have encountered the problems that I did............ or is this the norm


Firstly I tried to put in a "Voice" request and after several failed attempts I finally rang up - only to find that I couldn't get "voice" as I hadn't actually switched the radio on - doh

That problem sorted - I ventured out again only to have the rear door sorta come off its runners and sorta just hang there looking as stupid as I felt. One mechanic later the door was fully functional again BUT the rear interior light refused to go out! Two hours and one removed bulb later this problem was resolved Only for the door to part company with the runner again

When I eventually got back to the base for a much earned cuppa my back ached and I had lost all feeling in my left foot due to the heavy clutch! How do you guys do it?

Reality smacked me about the face and I suddenly realised just why I went back to a standard salon car! Long live saloons!

So only someone like me in brackets, (female and blonde) and how do you guys do it, heavy clutch and all, more pish pointing out "her" vulnerable femininity.

Or this one maybe:

"FFS - rape to free plates in one thread Come on guys keep on thread or start a new one!

Please remember that there are female hacks on here who have their own stories and don't really want to see topics like this being lowered to a slanging match."

Or how about this cracker:

HAPPY NEW YEAR to everyone mad (or sad) enough to have worked the night shift with me! Only had to call the Boys in Blue three times in an 18 hour shift - one stabbing (in my car eeeuuuuukkkk!) one mugging and one "I'm not paying that - I'd rather spend the night in a cell" where apparently he will spend the next few nights!

Or This one:

Must be my hormones cos I can't think of a single clean version of what that AGMA could possibly stand for ................... Or maybe I've just been working with perverted men for too long! But of course none of them come on this site they are all total "gents"

Or this one:

At last the Courts are taking notice and taking our Trade and livleiehood seriously!

I had one last year - refused to pay; caused damage to the cab etc. his blood was all over the broken window etc - he got 3 months inside - great result until you read the small print - he swore at Police and got done for that alone; I was left with the repair bill! But alas the local press reported it as three months for refusing to pay taxi fare and the number of runner stopped for a while at least.


Or this one:

Blonde ... female ..... BUT aren't Galaxy's a 2 - 3 - 2 seating formation so what is the benefit of removing a rear seat? Derrrrr! I'm probably missing something (as is becoming the norm!)


Or even this one:

Whats your view then of 35 year old females driving cabs at that time of night? We all have to earn a living - but we take things like this in our stride. i was raped in September by a passenger and I still drive nights - and this person will rot in supposed hell until i find him again and then he will know what hell really is! And yes he did have a knife and no it didn't make even the local papers because its apparently "expected because of what we do" We are treated in the same way as tarts and hookers - out there for one thing!

Next time you hear - "tango" "13" "99" "female driver" just get THERE!!!!

Or this one:

Thanks Guys - I really didn't mean that to come out like it did but your support is greatly appreciated. I'm staying in the trade because its how I support my kids and no one or nothing is ever going to stop that. I thought my post might have been removed but all credit to Alex for leaving it there as it is something that is real and something that we don't think about when we take onthis job but when it happens it has a far greater effect than anyone can over imagine.

I'll NEVER give up my cab its a part of me; its as much a part of me as my kids and my tattoos etc. and no one will ever take that away from me.

I hole heartedly apologise for my outburst in my initial post on this thread but now you all know you will appreciate how I felt. Like most women out there I am only trying to earn a living in the only way that I know how - and in the only way that can support my kids; I don't know how my lad will be from day to day and its only with the understanding of others who cover my work that I can carry on. Yes being female is hard but then again there are some hard females out there. If I ever need help I really hope one of you is close by.


Needless to say I could go on and on and on but wont bother, but I will say that the dregs of the trade are self evident in the above posts, I strongley suspect it's a man thats behind it, it's just rubbish, a mother with a disabled child who in the space of a few months is now able to look after himself so that she can carry on driving the taxi that she cant manage to drive because the clutch is to heavy for her slender tattooed blonde dizzy female type body, she has been raped in her own cab that is fitted with a cctv system but the perpetrator has never been found and nobody is interested in it because according to this clown everyone expects it from females anyway, there has been stabbings and other incidents to numerous to mention, maybe she drives in the Gazza strip or something.


Does anyone know tigger personally and therefore be able to vouch for her, I doubt it somehow.

Your about one thing though if it's a choice of being alone or having to deal with a never ending stream of weirdos I will choose the solitude thanks.

Do you think I am a male or female?

The only thing to consider is do we need to reduce everything to the lowest possible level. If we all endevour to keep our own postings free of offensive language and swearing the overall standard will rise. Those that use the language of the gutter will feel isolated and out of place. If this site is to represent the trade PH and Taxi then lets show ourselves in the best posible light and act professionally. I do not want to lecture or preach to anyone but I find some postings demean us all.

Hey LONE Ranger; yep lots of quotes from incidents that have happened in the 18 years I've been driving a cab; across three major cities and a few rural areas as well. Those that have actually read what I have posted on her like T. and Kermit will see that you have isolated replies on varying differing threads and masked them to say something that you may want people to believe; when in fact you have taken every comment out of context. Although I must say that I am deeply honoured that you have taken the time and effort to read every single post of mine.

Shame that you couldn't read all the Pm's and emails that went along with some of them posts thou; and then maybe you would have understood some of them instead of just mocking. A FYI YES I am female; and you did get one thing right and in context - you are about due a good hiding ...... just wait til I get in your cab; that is if you do infact drive one and if it is correctly licenced and is presumably a Hackney Carriage and a "wannabe" in a mini-cab!

The PM's were far better than the posts! And the new avatar that was e-mailed is priceless; but not yet! :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

OH! And just to add more to your LONEly posts; I've taken on board comments from other genuine experienced cabbies and have just ordered an E7!
