Protesters also shouted abuse at other drivers who were seen working.

Bastards.

I wish most taxi drivers would go on strike from life

I think that's the whole reason there ended up being a Some Like It Hot/Hillbillies there.
After the North Strand at least you could get some food and a fight.

awww the poor taxi drivers

Must be tough getting paid so much for a few minutes driving.

If it's hard to make a living on it, get a new job.

Seriously, how are these guys not making money???? I can't really fathom it to be honest. Or is it like the property sector where they've had it sweet for so many years that they freak when things get a bit tighter on the auld wallet?

If they were driving the whole time it would be okay.
They have hours between fares sometimes.

It's all the black lads fault apparently.

The rank at Tesco in Rathmines is insane. They queue all the way up the street and then around the corner and almost into the estate. And then sit there. ALL day. I'd say they earn about €40 a day if they're lucky. Yet i still don't give a fuck.

Which they'd probably earn for 15mins actual driving.

what other job would give you that money for a few minutes work while you get to listen to the radio and deliver racist tirades???

 

[Thebeard]

I'm with Chutneyfarmer on this one. They melt my bleedin brain with their racist bullsit banter. Shut up and drive me to the shop Mr. Colburn.

It's very hard to make a living as a taxi driver now. The ones that do okay have to do literally unsafe hours.
However, I think this is a particular service that needed to be deregulated and the result is, in the long term, going to be that there will only be as many drivers as can make a living. The rest are going to have to do something else and, basically, tough.

Exactly!

Took me nearly 3 hours to get home yesterday. They started circling the south quays and coming up pearse street. They were crawling up both lanes on pearse street and turning off to macken street.

Who else could get away with this crap?

 

[chutneyfarmer]

has it occured to them that MAAAAYYYBE the reason they're getting less fares is because people are sick of them moaning and whining like bitches and have decided to stop paying their overpriced fares and have started getting nitelinks/buses instead?

Some kind of Domination race-play type thing?

 

[shower another shower]

I'm thinking about going on strike.

I'm thinking about going on strike.

Organise a Drummer's protest in the city centre. Hundreds of drummers with their kits out doing paradiddles on O'Connell Street. That'd be deadly.
