Bluto10 Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 Do it on a 'casual' basis first, see if you like it. make sure you get in with a good (cab) 'firm' first though. Link to comment

Bluto10 Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 And a mongo bus, do the church on a Sunday for the window lickers. on a saturday avo, the same bus could be used to ferry reinfocements to the frontline, be it the broadhill, king street or train station, help keep the asc well staffed for the running battles. that way dayts you could still be in amongst all the action, but safe behind the wheel in your cardy and slippers Link to comment

Ke1t Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 Do you need that these days? Sat Nav with "shortest route" disabled is how most taxi drivers find there way about these days. Aberdeen Airport to the Caledonian Hotel via Stonehaven... wouldn't be the first fucking time an Aberdeen Taxi driver mistakenly took me for some Yankee mug and figured he'd take the 'scenic' route to my destination.

After which you are perfectly within your rights to simply vacate the taxi and not pay a penny. Link to comment
Bluto10 Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 the taxi drivers sense of direction went missing? much like some of the threads on here .... Link to comment
tup Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 Nah, none of that driving malarky. 3 work colleagues and myself are going to make things that will end up on oil rigs. Small initial investment, then sit back and watch the day rate come rolling our way. Minted in no time. Scud mags? Link to comment

My old work would own any patent i took out that was work related. Mental. Link to comment
The Boofon Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 No none uses them these days, that's sooooo 2001.... Hard drives are the wanking tool of choice nowadays The things I have in mind are fabricated from carbon steel.Balls of steel? Link to comment
The Boofon Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 Aye, that's what it is - Balls of steel. That's that idea ruined. Thanks. Sorry. How about you invent an automatic indian wanking machine. Save you hastle with those four way sex parties. Link to comment

Dazzler Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 Did lifts for mates one weekend to make a bit of extra cash and it was a horrible experience. I love driving but driving the same shit roads back and forward with drunken idiots in your care wasn't fun. Link to comment

Bluto10 Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 tip of the day, if you become a taxi driver dayts make sure your not one of the ones that end up dead after picking up some weirdo with issues.like that case from a few years ago where the driver was stabbed in the back of the head and left for dead down some coruntry road.

daytripping Posted January 12, 2012 Author Share Posted January 12, 2012 They never did catch the person who did that, everyone at the time thought he'd been killed by a cheesewire but the police only found that next to the car, it wasn't used in the killing. I read a book recently about murders over the years in Aberdeen and that was one of the cases they wrote about. Link to comment

daytripping Posted January 13, 2012 Author Share Posted January 13, 2012 What was the book called? Sounds like a good read. If i wrote I would call it 'Aberdeed' Here it goes, £7 quid on amazon or I can find it and give it to you for nowt if you can collect, only ever read books once. Some good stuff in it, murder at the Saltoun arms, double child murder, murder at Persley scrap yard and many others, I'd only heard of a few of them, brilliant read for a local. There's a very strange murder in one where a woman kills a 8 year old girl in Urquhart road for calling her a coconut, the womans husband used a broom on the child to make it look like a rape.

Yer maybe too young to remember the one on the back road between garthdee and cults, the police checked the hands of all the crowd at a Aberdeen Celtic sell out in the days after the murder looking for people with cuts on their hands, they soon realised it was a waste of time as hundreds of people had cuts on their hands. A witness came forward weeks later saying they'd seen a blood soaked man queuing for a chipper but the man was never found. Link to comment
