Strange how the taxi driver in the Bramble case is discussing an ongoing investigation. Sounds like it was a mountain out of a molehill based on his strange religious beliefs. Surely he is open to prosecution for talking about the case? Lets have your best Taxi stories. Mine. I was on a night out with a girlfriend many moons ago. Into the Ling Hong (Sadly missed City Centre Chinkies.) Then into 4 or 5 pubs including the "Upper Deck". Then off to the La Strada till 2 am. Now after all that beer and Chinese, being the gentleman I am I hadn't farted. In the taxi on the way home I felt one bubbling and feared the worst, smell wise. So asked the taxi driver to pull over so I could get out and let rip on the pavement. For some strange reason he refused and I farted in the Taxi it was ****ing ripe. Opened the windows GF giggling holding her nose. Then the taxi driver stopped and told me to get the **** out! I told him to **** off and take us home. (We were nearly there anyway.) In the end he drove us to Gill Bridge and marched inside. Returning with a sergeant and two big burly police. I explained what had happened, and why I refused to get out, which the cops were struggling to stop laughing about. The sergeant did ask him why he hadn't just pulled over when I asked. The thick twats answer. "Why should I!" To which everyone did burst out laughing! I was finally persuaded out of the taxi. And the numpty wanted me to pay what was on the taxi meter. TO which I replied "**** off" and walked off hand in hand with the GF, with the taxi driver ranting at the police.
Lol what a crackin story that was !!! I personally would have locked up the Taxi driver for non carriage of a paying customer whilst on Tariff 3....lol
I did have the odd run in with the boys in blue in those days mate. But 99% were sound as a pound and sensible, that other 1% could start world war 3 by trying to be hard men, hiding behind the uniform. I actually saw the sergeant a couple of days later when there was bother outside the Londonderry, (I wasn't involved. ) He recognised me and we were standing laughing about the taxi driver whilst mayhem went on around us.
Just thinking that was the first time I had thought of the Upper Deck for years. Top place for taking a lass for a quiet drink.
Although I think most hacks especially in Derry think they own the road and seem to have a fear of indicators some do have good stories to tell. One told me about a fare he picked up one night who shall we say was a rather heavily monged curvy lady who was actually his cousin but due to her state she didn't recognise him. Once he had taken her to her destination he turned and asked her for the fare before she grinned, spread her legs and said "do you want to take it out of this"! Without bating an eye lid he replied "sorry love, have you anything smaller". Quality.....
Who of us that have taken taxis after partaking of the devils water, haven't said at least one of these things pointed out by Peter Kay? "Been busy?" "What time you on 'till?" "What time you start?"
Well he looked like a very trustworthy man to me. Well actually he looks like he 's just come from Af ****ing ganistan the horrible ****. I hope he loses his taxi license, blabbermouth twat. Bet he lives in Southbank.
Stood at the taxi rank outside Sunderland station one night I copped off with a girl wearing stockings! Not interesting? Her mam and dad were standing behind us! TRUE STORY x
Just had a mate ring me, asking if I'm MackemsRule. Hahaha Seems he is a reader and not a poster. (English isn't his first language he was born in Gateshead. ) He recognised the fart in a taxi tale. He reminded me about another one. Four of us missed the coach to Thirsk races so hired a taxi to take us. The taxi driver stopped with us at the races and on the piss on the night. He ended up too pissed to drive and we took turns driving back home, with him passed out in the boot. (Didn't want him spewing on us. ) We parked up in the City centre laid him in the back of the taxi and made our way home. He didn't get paid and probably ended up with a hangover to die for.
Yep, to true or I will get banned. That twat BB thought was my mate & theres him chatting on to Janie. ****ing take her man, another Geordidie bitch is youre best bet. Good job you in Spain.
