… and a bucket.

Ma; Does the gubment subsidise ejector seats?

Thriftcriminal; Wouldn’t mind but yer wan had a carrier-bag full of bottles of wine! I hope every single one of them was corked.

Conortje; A good friend of mine told me that being polite is a good quality, but being politely firm is a different matter altogether. I’m glad I met them, they taught me a lesson.

Nick; It’s not mentioned in the test, but it probably should be, at least in the small-print.

Darren; I’ll be laughing with you when I get to see me da and Rick O’Shea torch their gaff!

Terence McDanger; I almost expected her to suddenly fly up and perch on her husband’s shoulder. I could’ve had some fun with her but unfortunately she was wearing a seat-belt.

Jenny; The richer these people get, the less they feel they have to be civil to the working-classes. Proves you don’t have to be intelligent to be rich…

Xbox4nappyrash; So you’re saying I should bring a Naggin of Vodka with me to work? Not a bad idea…

English Mum; I’m trying really hard to find the line between politeness and being just a plain old doormat, though.

Manuel; Yep there are indeed a shit load of similarities in our jobs, aren’t there? Namely that you need a seriously powerful sense of humour to survive in them.

Medbh; It’s me own fault. I’ve got to learn how to wipe the sheepish look off my face when people start shouting at me and take control of the skituation! I needs tough-bitch lessons.

Sam and Warrior ; €15 is an EXTREMELY small claim though. I’m just going to mark it down as the cost of experience and hope that someday Mr Toff gets his come-uppance somehow, as he no doubt will.

Kirk M; I gots me a Sattelite Nagivation system now, so I’m soytently not getting lost in the future! Man, those things are excellent inventions.

Manuel#2; Knowing my luck Mr Toff would’ve sued me and won. He seemed like that sort of wanker.

Warrior#2; Funnily enough the ‘scumbags’ are the far more reliable punter, they rarely dither over fares, they just want to talk. They consider it to be a type of therapy, which I’m happy to provide!

TenaciousT; Yesterday was slooooow but today was hectic! I’m minted now :) Wooooohoooo! I’ve done this tag once or twice but I’ll honour it without forwarding it if that’s ok wit you!

Rick; Knowing Grandad he’ll want to celebrate with the home-made stuff. Bring Alka-Seltzer.

“Fine then, you get off here!” “Here” usually meant in the middle of the interstate or somewhere deep in the hills. Hopefully it was raining. Once you get some more time “in the saddle” you’ll be able to pick out the troublemakers beforehand and you’ll also be able to give them a pretty accurate quote on how much a trip is going to be based on the starting point and the destination.

Takes a bit of time but you’ll eventually have a map with all the rates from here to there filled in, revolving around in your head. You’ll also never get lost again even if you haven’t been somewhere before. Cab drivers never get lost. :P

Small claims court?

Next time the toffs won’t pay drop them off in an “undesirable” area of town and watch them hoof it back home.
