I got the htc desire s recently and its great… Went with EMOBILE
HTC sensation is the business. Highly recommend it.
On a side note, took a stroll up harcourt st earlier. Counted 116 taxis queueing up on side of road. Only 34 had white drivers. While I’m all for equality this shit seems insane.
would you prefer if the ratio was 50/50 blacks to whites?
why would the skin colour of a taxi driver bother you so much?
I think someone might be a bit of a racist buffoon.
Back in the day getting a taxi from Harcourt St was impossible. The skill of driving a car doesnt seem to guarantee much income these days, which is a good thing. I’m not a fan of taxi drivers, black or white.
Well done for highlighting that Mac. Mac’s campaign for affirmative action and equality in the Taxi industry should be supported. FFS, we’ll have black lads playing soccer for the country next.
His habit of counting the numbers of taxi’s on Harcourt St is odd however.
Is it a north Wexford thing Fitzy?
What? The racism, or counting Taxi’s?
Some of the best drunken conversations you’ll have with taxi drivers are with the black fella’s, some stories.
On another note, lads getting giddy about the EPL fixtures being out today. FFS.
Of all the foreign taxi drivers I have got in Dublin, I would say less than 50% of them are fully aware as to how to make it to my destination.
Of all the local taxi drivers I have got in Dublin, I would have less than 10% do not know how to make it to my destination.
It is really irksome when you get into a taxi, say somewhere pretty common and you are met with a blank face. You then have to direct them to your destination and basically do their job for them. I got into a taxi recently heading towards Haddington Road from Pearse Street and your man hadn’t a clue. Didn’t even know Baggot Street Bridge.
I have to say, I have never encountered this in over 10 years of availing of taxi services in this city. Especially now with the advent of Sat nav’s. Thats unfortunate farmer.
I used to consider a taxi plate at one point to earn a few extra quid, fucking glad I didnt.
I’d agree with that. Nothing worse than having to direct a taxi man to your destination, I’m sure KIB or Fitzy will confirm how shockingly bad Sydney taxi drivers are. Unless you knew exactly the route to your destination you were fucked. Got a taxi from Bondi Junction to Bondi beach and the taxi driver didn’t have a clue of how to get there (granted all this was before Say Navs became widespread).
I got into a taxi once (English Bloke driving) and said Baggot St. He hadn’t a clue. I said its a the bottom of stephens green and he goes Stephens Green hmmmm which one is that again. I got out and said forget it. Fucking disgraceful.
racist. 
wtf? you spent time counting the number of taxis ? is this a joke?
Could you even fit 116 cars along Harcourt St?
+1
This along with all the bullshit transfer argle bargle. Is there no respite from this muck?
+1
from the self proclai,ed macparty the party animal to counting taxis on a night out
Alright TASE m8, have you been watching your townie on CDWM?
This is an example of something which is so wrong, that it’s right.
I had a conversation back some time ago with two mates. It was at the time of the Eurovision and Mate A remarked how he had gone to see Johnny Logan arrive home in 1987 when he was about 8 or 9 years old. Mate B pulled him up on this and wondered how this happened. Mate A said it was his sister, who is about 2 years older than him, who wanted to see Johnny and he was brought along as well. He also said that his sister got an autograph.
Mate B then interjected with ‘so Johnny actually signed her 10 year old ditties’?
Fixed that for you mate.
She had a record with her that was 10 years old?
