I’ve just seen this but. The link didn’t register on me dashbooard thingy for some reason but I’ve been having a few problems in the backroom of my blog. This is one of the more interesting memes around – I shall give it a shot!

I find myself getting jealous of your taxi-life. It sounds endlessly interesting – you’re out and about all day; the whole human tapestry is passing right through your car, and you are going to get some cracking stories out of the deal. It’s odd that you should have the Messiah there in Bray with you though, because only last week I saw him dancing across a road in downtown LA. Still, I expect He moves in mysterious ways His wonders to perform an’ that. Must keep him busy.

Thriftcriminal; What’s with the frickin’ roadworks around your neck of the woods?!?!

Kirk M; Longhaul cabbing, eh? How great would it be to get to bring a punter 1300 miles? Ka ching! Bummer if he does a runner at the destination, though.

Natalie; You have a discerning computer.

Xbox4nappyrash; They do seem eerily nice, now you say it. Don’t stoke the paranoia, dude!

Ben; *tsk* Pull your finger out, there.

Mammy; A strange lady got me to drive her to the cash-machine, then to the off-license, then home again. Once she got her bags of booze unloaded, she told me she had no cash! Oh how I wish I had your ovaries then ;)
Stupid cow needs fixing. Do you want her address?

Thriftcriminal; Fair do’s me old mucker.

Nick; This is true. We’re not even talking diamond-encrustment here. They put all their staff in the basement, but you didn’t hear that from me. Ok?

Sitting behind the wheel of a moving car with me behind the wheel really spooked me.

Sitting, moving and providing light entertainment for the people in the back is really really spooky.

Then, sitting driving, entertaining people and talking on the radio is big spookies on a par with giant spiders.

Good luck!!

Thinking required for this one. . .

bbiaw

was there blood on the tip? (keep it clean now)

That sounds sooo familiar. I really enjoyed my years as a cabbie but only because I was driving in a place as unique as Ireland with just the same type of unique characters and that was central Vermont. I got all the stuff you’re experiencing when I was driving down in the in the “city” area (if you could call it that, more like a large village) but the real adventures were way up in the hills of the Green Mountains where the only communication that was available was a cell phone the size of a small suitcase and that was sporatic at best. It was amazing where these people lived (uh…this is a road?)

The company (they had 40 state contracts to service daily) ran 365 days, 24/7, anywhere, any weather, no exceptions. The company even installed 4 studded snow tires on the sedans for the winter months. Amazing where a Ford Taurus sedan will go with 4 studded tires wrapped around it.

Have fun and don’t worry about posting. Where would we go?
