You ran over my feet

That last post reminded me of another sunday night down at the Obie.

I had picked up and was trying to make my way through the throng of people inch by inch tapping the horn as I went as they were really tightly gathered around the whole car. Finally I got through and pulled onto the road wating for a gap as I needed to make a u-turn.

Anyway before I got the gap a guy comes running up to my open window and shouts at me “You just ran over my f***ing feet!” To which I replyed “Well obviously your feet are alright, after all you just ran down here to tell me!”

Onnce apon a time here in Dublin there were only 3020 cabs in dublin. Owned by business men the cars were rented out night and day.One bright spark rented out a plate and cloned it 4 times.Same car same number plate same roof sign. Then he got greedy and did it again.Then some bright lad spotted 2 together.
When they swooped the carriage office took in over 80 cars. The bloke who did it is living the high life in Spain now..
Since de reg there is around 14,000 taxis in town for a population of around 2 mill.

WOW 14 thousand cabs for just 2 million people. I think our numbers are something like 1500 for 1.5 million. I'm amazed they can make a decent living
