Better than that - do the Ipaq phone thingy - that way it has a data connection, so it pulls traffic and weather off the net <BR/>Just a thought.....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6822791.post-1153065911413674172006-07-16T17:05:00.000+01:002006-07-16T17:05:00.000+01:00When I drove (way back in '76!), I was very much t...When I drove (way back in '76!),<BR/> I was very much the junior, and so got those drunks. The other guys didn't mind me poaching THEM! For some reason, I had very little problem. Or maybe I had a different way to deal with them. I tried if at all possible to get them to ride with a friend...the help was worth the free ride back to the bar. <BR/> The tricky part was getting them to throw up "outside" the car. A back window that could roll all the way down was handy for that....and washing the car off is pretty easy. I could usually guilt the guy into an extra 5 bucks for the cleaning job.<BR/> They often dozed off. That was better than trying to talk to them. So, my experiences were that I got lots of fares, I cleaned up lots of puke, I met lots of people, my fellow cabbies liked me, (in fact, they would drop problem fares onto me "just as a joke"), the company thought the sun shone out my ass, and I generally had a good time. <BR/> But then, I was doing this as a part time driver. I am in awe of people like you and wil who deal with those twits on an everyday basis!STAGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06198646624631167489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6822791.post-1152963244174710142006-07-15T12:34:00.000+01:002006-07-15T12:34:00.000+01:00Enjoy reading your blog, keeps me amused on the fr...Enjoy reading your blog, keeps me amused on the frequent boring days in work.<BR/><BR/>Keep it coming!Tesco Codeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12066926345700226159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6822791.post-1152960967199797882006-07-15T11:56:00.000+01:002006-07-15T11:56:00.000+01:00Hi LCIs the anonymouse above the one that was so i...Hi LC<BR/><BR/>Is the anonymouse above the one that was so insulting in your previous post?

What part do you shake to wake them up, if any at all :-)<BR/><BR/>I once picked up a young lady in Roslyn Hill going to Jardine Gds (off the Highway). On arriving she was sparko so I used the "heavy brake trick" a couple of times with no success. I then enlisted the help of a passing young couple, again with no success. At this point I was fearing for her health as we could not find a pulse! Suddenly her mobile rang, I answered it to see if the caller could help, Lord above as luck would have it was her brother! He went onto explain that she had a sleep disorder and that it would be best to take her back to where he had popped her into the cab. On arriving he jumped in and dragged her out and then really screamed her name out, it was like a scene from an Ealing comedy instantly she awoke flew her arms around me and gave me a kiss, then thanking me for taking her home...Only she was not home, she was back at her brothers where she stayed the night!<BR/>The next morning my mobile rang and my wife answered it to the sound of "Kate" thanking me for all I had done, took some explaining i'll tell you.<BR/><BR/>Be lucky<BR/><BR/>anonymouseAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6822791.post-1152933892294309642006-07-15T04:24:00.000+01:002006-07-15T04:24:00.000+01:00Do any of you cabbies out there hate it when a per...<I>Do any of you cabbies out there hate it when a person starts directing you to somewhere you know well?</I><BR/><BR/>Then when I finally get on their street and ask for them to let me know when we are at their destination (most homes here have rural mailboxes in front with no numbers on them) they shut up. Not a word, until we pass the residence they wanted. Geez.Paradise Driverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02668266221623363777noreply@blogger.com
