if you get bored at asda you could always get another plate off the council, if you pushed them hard enough you could get another!


or apply for a job in taxi licensing, 14 grand a year, not to be sniffed at, and it gives you a bit of power

What has all this petulance got to do with me selling a plate, is the lone ranger tigger and gabbycabby all the same person or am I missing something?

I think you're exagerrating a bit about freedom of speech - nothing has been deleted or censored, and locking a thread is merely a good way of drawing a line under things when they get out of hand.

Anyway, you're a serial "departee" from Fastblacks stu, but you always appear back a day or two later :lol:

I am on about half a dozen forums and thread locking is a normal way of dealing with threads that get a bit out of hand you had your say on that thread anyway so show some maturity and carry on regardless !

Ah Dusty, my favourite person in the whole taxi forum world, how you doing mate, seen any threatening behaviour recently Dusty?

What makes you think I am the lone ranger Dusty?

Although he/she did enliven the forum a little, I suppose he just cant be bothered with some of the crap posts from that woman Tigger, my god, the profanity of it all, the threatening PM's he/she would get from the fantasists on this forum. :roll:

Actually word has it that the lone ranger and tonto have had enough of the crap that has been perpetrated against them, so they have purposefully set out to right these wrongs, now the way it works is like this Dusty, for the process to begin these people need a triggering incident,if there isn't one they create it so this time around the lone ranger gave them the incident to trigger their reaction e.g if you were to shove your hand down triggers knickers it would feel like a horse looking for a sugar lump, the reaction was as I suspected Jimbo thought it was funny,I thought it was funny, the psychopaths dont think it's funny, some of tiggers posts seemed to at least suggest he/she was either in a complete fantasy world or deranged and despite posts to the contrary I would perhaps think tigger is possibly a man but since you say I am the lone ranger perhaps you could tell us who tigger is and why she is subjected to the levels of abuse she claims she is subjected to, including being raped in her own vehicle and being made to drive at 155mph for 1400 miles in 9 hours!!

Now Alex says dont do each other down the threads locked , but tiggers wild claims do the whole industry down, especially for women, it's up to you and the tiggers of these forums to prove to the rest of us that Tiggers claims are just a figment of a deranged mind or if not and she has been a victim of an assault as she says she was then it's time for an investigation into it, lets face it Dusty it's a matter of public interest since it was posted on this site and most normal, honest people would, I assume, find it a very strange thing to have a women abused in the way she describes and yet be unable to receive any justice for it,still she always got jobs many hundreds of miles in length just after she had an incident.

So on you go Dusty, defend the indefensible if you want, but I know the PM's the lone ranger received contained a threat, in a very similar style to Tiggers style so either your all out the same mould or tigger is a man.

You lot make me laugh, freedom of speech my arse, people are easily shocked these days Dusty and they often read things into comments that you make where the meaning is then twisted to fit whatever it is in the minds of these people.

So what do you intend doing about tigger Dusty, should you not be getting her some help. :wink:

Well the thread was locked before a satisfactory outcome was obtained.

And why was the thread getting out of hand, other than the fact that I was trying to obtain the truth about tiggers alleged dilemmas and there were plenty, although I doubt there was much truth in any of the posts.

Plenty of forums, but only one taxi/PH of note. :D

Wish I hadn't said anything now :lol:

But isn't it funny that hitherto you've said naff all about tigger, now you're on the attack? :wink:

As for helping tigger, I'm sure she's more than capable of looking after herself.

And many men feel threatened by a strong woman, that's why some are putting the boot in =;

I hope TDO continues to keep you entertained and informed.

Enjoy your retirement.

Well to be honest Dusty I was getting fed up with these forums and the same thing all the time,where were you anyway, I think Dusty has gone Rusty really.

I notice you are still perpetuating the myth that tigger is a female Taxi/PH/Limo driver/operator/Baron.

I think we should go through the posts and check them for consistency and truth or just for a laugh.

Dusty I will lose any faith I have left in you guys if you cant explain to me how it is possible to do a 1400 mile round trip in nine hours, remember this would require you to drive at a constant speed of 155mph with a burst appendix and a few blackouts just to make matters worse, at those speeds possibly caused by the G force when cornering.

Anyway Dusty I wasn't on the attack, it was just another experiment, It worked just as well as the others, but I have to say it didn't make the taxi trade look a very good proposition as a career for women or men come to think about it. :lol:

Maybe I will carry out another experiment later on, it's amazing how gullible people have become, some of them attribute anything you talk about to you personally, actually I have to say I have been quite suprised at the depth of emotion and in some cases disgust some of my posts have caused but these issues need to be confronted, also it's fodder for these forums otherwise you get a fastblacks syndrome and it starts to die because of the lack of different subject material.

What a pest I am eh. :shock:
