    Last night out my friend tells me...."god you were very funny on the way home last night, the taxi man got a great kick out of you!"
    /cringed at total blank!!

    My barber once told me that he plays a game while travelling in a taxi, "I just out racist them, start gently and then build it up, see how far I can push them before they disagree with me. I got to burn their houses down with the wife and kids in it with one guy....."

    GTHe trick is to sweet talk the taxi driver. I do have great chats with them. had one guy looked like Bob Geldof. Come to think of it sometimes i think it was Bob Geldof

    How do you know a taxi driver is talking balls?

    His lips are moving.

    At least the immigrant guys don't talk, they just drive. I like to be left in peace not making idle chit chat with a stranger.

    except asking for directions....and you drunkenly giving them hand signals...the joys of living in middle of nowhere:)

    Why don't they get out of the car and open the door for the customers like a good taxi man does?

    I swear this country is in tatters.
