    Brought a couple home to Portmarnock tonight..... a long trip!
    He spent the whole journey moaning about how she'd neglected him all night and that she wasn't paying him enough attention, what a plonker!
    He got out of the car at one point to buy himself a snack, he was starving the poor fellow, while he was gone she let out a scream , and said "if you read about a bloke being murdered by a petite brunette you'll know it was me!"
    "I'll testify," I said, "justifiable homicide!"

    Dude, every single post you've made has been with links to your blog (which I'm not reading). Just put it in your sig.
    Well done on returning the bag.

    you should write a book about this!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,811 ✭✭✭*Page*


    I'm very confused...

    One post was a load about some girl who legged it on you and this is about a couple?

    were is your point? were is the story? apart from trying to embarass people who paid you for your service, (minus the girl legging it but you could have got the money) what are you trying to say?


  • Posts: 3,620 ✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    Not to dump on your writing too much but I'm sure you could make it a bit more interesting to read.

    I know from just talking to taxi drivers on the spin home there are many good yarns out there.
    Maybe just work on your writing style a bit more and make it more engaging rather than spilling out the facts.

    Finally some constructive criticism, rather than the "oooh a mod left a negative comment let's all follow like moronic lemmings" tactic

    No I don't mean to embarrass, although the stories are true and those concerned should recognise themselves, I change locations and details so nobody should feel embarrassed, others like the girl getting the "mindless self indulgence" tattoo, are asked if it's OK .obviously she wouldn't have agreed to the photo otherwise.

    It's just a blog....... somewhere to put down my thoughts and hope it entertains??

    Well I guess it's horses for courses, I get about 50 returning visitors and over 200 unique visitors, (some of whom may not have cookies enabled therefore could be returning??) each day and have just been given a paid job writing articles for a magazine.
    I agree though, when I read my posts back I cringe, my excuse is most are written at 5 in the morning!

    guys, lay off him, he's clearly a n00b here and is just learning the ropes.

    First off, NEVER change the original post. That first page was so confusing.

    Second, if you post in AH, expect the abuse. Maybe post your stories in the Creative Writing forum to get a better response.

    Thrid, that story really isn't any good. I can't actually see the point. Usually people come here to make a controversial statement or ask a question. You have done neither, which is why the confusion. What are people supposed to write in reply to an anecdote about a taxi driver taking a couple, who had a little spat, home for the evening.

    was it a purple snack?

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,244 ✭✭✭sdanseo


    Everyone has to start sonewhere like L31mr0d said, lay off a little :)

    Roy, dont worry nothing gets taken seriously in AH (even my exploding battery story was shunned :rolleyes:)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,896 ✭✭✭✭Spook_ie


    Roy, you have on here some of the most anti-taxi people in the world. Just be thankful you weren't telling them about the €1 extra fuel surcharge the taxi drivers want, they would be seething at that news....
    TAXI drivers are to approach the Taxi Regulator seeking a €1 fuel surcharge on all fares because of soaring petrol and diesel costs.


    The National Taxi Drivers Union is planning to meet with other taxi and hackney organisations next week to discuss the possibility of the various unions making a group application.

    Link to Original Story

    .....but welcome to boards an extra 1 in the +column of any taxi arguments here


    BTW If you want a positive response just throw in a few bits about x-dressing, masturbation, how farts smell etc. and a good chunk of the AH crowd will love it


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 27,644 ✭✭✭✭nesf

    Because you were effectively spamming your site which isn't allowed.
