27 July, 2012 at 1:50 pm | Posted in Slug, snail, puppydog tail | Leave a comment After four years in our home we’re moving to a brand new site hosted on this side of the Atlantic, and we didn’t need Pickfords to do the heavy lifting, even though it has been hard at times. The sparkli...
So, after years of waiting, the London 2012 Olympics finally get under way with the opening ceremony taking place tomorrow. So much has been done to get things ready. From a totally brand new stadium at Stratford in East London, to a brand new pool (aquatics centre), a velodrome, a ho...
First off, I'd like to thank all of you who read or left a comment on my prior post regarding my nephew going through a kidney transplant. The comments were really supportive for me and my family. I printed them out and even had the family read them. They loved the responses. My famil...
A young woman hailed late one night in the City. She had been out with friends - only the young and restless go out midweek in winter - and was dying to get home. They were all American, students on their gap year in Sydney, and loved to party. My passenger was in despair at their ten...
When I first began driving a cab in fall of 1993 in Boston, Taxi Driver provided my first frame of reference. Whenever I drove through steam coming up from manhole covers, the image of Bickle’s hulking Marathon doing the same in the movie’s first shot would start in my head and Bernar...

For many months now, the Taxi trade has been fed a plethora of lies from TfL and the Mayor's Office. The extent of the ORN keep from us, as the Games Manual, promised over a year ago, was held back till the last few days before the opening ceremony. In fact I still haven't received my...

According to Leon Daniels, Managing Director of TfL, just a handful of disgruntled drivers from a minor union turned up and caused little disruption. Again TfL's propaganda machine swung into action as the CCTV live feed for Tower Bridge (controlled from inside the Traffic command cen...
"Have you done the Knowledge?"... "Will you go south of the river"... "You'll never guess who I had in the back of my cab the other day"... Seriously, the jokes flying in my direction have been so funny I almost crashed my cab. That's right - my cab. Just as the cold reality of the Ol...

Sometimes when it gets so hot in NYC you just have to stop what you're doing and rest. Period. Some of the underground subway stops feel like the worst sauna you have ever encountered until that air conditioned train arrives...it was a helluva a lot worse when the trains had no A.C. m...
The capital's "cabbies" are furious at being banned from driving in almost all of the special lanes alongside the Olympic traffic, with most fearing we will lose money because London will be in a state of gridlock during the Games. On Tuesday last week, thousands of taxis worried abou...
Ich brauche Eure Hilfe! Und zwar bei der Autosuche. Nach drei Jahren “ohne” muß jetzt, blöderweise auch noch gaaaanz dringend ein Fahrzeug her. Und kosten darf es leider nur sehr wenig, so runde 1000 Euro wäre die Schmerzgrenze. Die sonstigen Anforderungen sind eher gering. Viel TÜV w...

Eben im Taxi “überhört”, ein witzig gemeintes Streitgespräch zwischen ein paar Gradesoebenerwachsenen. “Du bist ja bloß neidisch, weil ich schon mit Deiner Mutter geschlafen habe und Du noch nicht mit meiner!” “Tolles Argument! Mit meiner hat jeder schon!” Ich mag Eigentore! Der Beitr...
I should’ve known better than to be hopeful. As I mentioned a few weeks back , the State of Illinois was trying to suspend my driver’s license. As of today, they’ve succeeded. Foolishly, I had believed that, given that he’d had six weeks to work at it, my New Jersey lawyer would be ab...
At the beginning of September, I received a letter from the Secretary of State. As a cabdriver, I’ve grown accustomed to harassment from the authorities. These envelopes usually contain false charges of moving violations, or other infractions that never occurred. Parking citations for...
