I do have to apologise tho. I had confused you with another driver who is an MPT driver. To him I apologise for the insult of thinking he was the complete loser you are.

You will degrade other people for having an opinion yet you think yours is the only one worth having. I think you are just a sad, miserable, lonely man who has to be rude to other people to make himself feel better.

And I am thankful I am not your mother otherwise I would be thoroughly ashamed of you for the way you treat other people.

I am sure that you are absolutely perfect and like everyone you come in contact with and you take every person who needs a taxi.

And let me assure you, I have excellent command of the English language. Again you feel the need to judge other people when you have no knowledge of their background. So punctuation isn’t Becker’s strong point. Big deal. I am sure you have an excellent command of all aspects of English and Maths and Science and all the other subjects out there. Again being judgemental because someone is different to you. Besides, how often have you typed with a baby in your arms? Sometimes punctuation just doesn’t become vital to living!

You have also made your share of typing mistakes. If someone jumped on you everytime you would be getting awfully flat!

And again I ask you, since you have such a problem with his blog then why do you continue to read it? Something that you have chosen not to answer yet.

If you think you are so much more interesting start your own blog and put your thoughts out there so other people can be rude and nasty for thinking differently to them.

You continue to forget that Becker used to be a full time driver and very recently as well. It seems you only had a problem with his blog when he became a Peakie. You have even left rude comments when he has posted only the facts that additional hours or changes in the industry has occurred.

You really are a bitter man and I am thankful that we don’t know you personally let alone socialise with you. Our children are better off for not knowing you!

I would like to know why you think it is so wrong that he changed from full time to peak period for the sake of his family? Why you object to him finding a way to spend more time with his children while at the same time providing more financially because that is the reason he changed to peak. Not to upset you as you seem to take a personal affront.

I am not dense as you state. However you were the one to spread your fantasies about the blonde and Alanah. Perhaps you were hoping to get into a threesome with them even if only in your fantasies but why should I sit back and not answer to the insults you were throwing our way?

Go write your own blog and show the rest of us what a writing superhero that you are! Judging by your standard of comments you would be laughed off the web.

I love this blog. Every time someone posts a negative comment, the blogger’s “partner” parachutes in with a knife between her teeth to defend him to the death and kill the heretic.

Day driver is still out , so I’ll answer you before I go.

Jealous? No. There are plenty of plates out there, should I wish to apply for one. I drive a regular cab nights and I’m happy that way.

I don’t think I’m better than Becker (except I can punctuate), but when I read what appears to be Perth’s only cab blog and it appears to be a load of right wing mean-assed gibberish of the sort that gives taxi drivers a bad name, then sure, I’ll put my oar in.

I’m not riding the board, I just happen to log in occasionally in the wee smalls.

The defense of cigarette-hate was precious. Do foreign languages put him in hospital too? Diddums!

Your command of the language isn’t a lot better than Becker’s. You CANNOT be so dense as to think I meant the stuff about the blondes and Alannah seriously. Surely you were just being obtuse. Can you teach the bugger to use an apostrophe already? They taught that in grade seven. I’m not talking about the odd typo here. I’m talking about grasp of English.

Speaking of English, I’m not. I was born here. Leave your “whinging Pom”, comments at the door. I can’t stand them either.

As to my hours, thanks for your concern but you have it all wrong. I drive a regular cab. I drive it nights. Don’t try and chide me, you might be Becker’s mother, but you aren’t mine.

Now I’m off to work. Cheers.

You say Becker has a chip on his shoulder but yours is just as big if not bigger. You have a problem with another driver who chose a different lifestyle and dumped full time driving for Peakie times. Your jealousy just keeps on shining through in bright neon signs!

Tell me something… would you like smokers if they had the potential to put you in hospital? I think not.

And where the hell did Becker write he wanted the TIF to send out a cute blonde to him? That would be your fantasy that you are insisting on projecting on to someone else.

And I would say Becker has mastered English and without the need to use bad language to make a point unlike you.

Now if you really find this blog so boring then why do you keep reading it? They say if you don’t like what is on TV then there is an off button. Well the same applies here. In fact it is more amusing that you will whinge and complain about someone else’s opinion AFTER you go searching. It’s not like sitting in front of the idiot box and being too lazy to get up.

In fact you must have set it up to get any new posts sent to you or a notice to say there is one judging by your speed in commenting about the post last night. So again I ask, if you have such a problem why keep reading it? Oh that’s right, to find out what is going on, what extra hours the Peakies have etc.

If you think you are so much better then why don’t you start your own blog and show the world just how intelligent and literate you believe yourself to be?

I do have to ask as well? Are you from England? You remind me of my ex father-in-law. He was a whinging pom who also had your attitude that everyone can have an opinion as long as it is the one he has! And yes he is an ex-taxi driver as well.

Now as to the spelling. I would love to be as perfect as you. Apparently you never make mistakes in your comments which would be why you wrote “they’re going top let you” instead of going TO let you.

And I can point out here without a shadow of doubt that I know Becker has no interest in Alanah MacTiernan in any way shape or form apart from her work that affects the taxi industry.

What hours do you actually work? You say you drive an MPT and give the impression you work days. So why would you be awake at midnight reading a blog that you apparantly have such a distaste for? Surely you should be asleep at that time of the night so you can be properly refreshed to ensure giving your passengers the best possible service and care instead of risking their safety by being half asleep on the job!

You’re barely literate, but you love sharing opinions with the 8 people who read this blog, at least one of which is your wife.

You don’t like smokers. Dont like foreigners. Don’t like other cab drivers. You’re a hungry.

if you want to know about something, then it’s not that hard in this day and age.

You bleat about the TIF not sending cute blondes to beg for your membership while you sit in the paddock. How about getting the hell out of your van sometime and asking another driver. Maybe they will know. Maybe google can enlighten you. Honestly. It’s called taking an interest.

You don’t like drivers not speaking English. Do you speak another language? Have you even mastered English?

I see in your bio that you read “Man of Lettuce”, and thought : “I can do that”.

Well you can’t.

Your perspective is right wing, knee jerk, self centred, lacking in insight and tediously written. At least “Man of Lettuce” either went to school or can operate a spell checker.

There’s nothing to learn here. No philosophical musings. No interesting observations on human nature. Not even any real evidence that you actually think about stuff.

As entertainment goes, it’s about on par with watching someone check their stools for fibre.

Nothing like the Taxi Forum will succeed in the taxi industry because it’s full of people such as yourself. You don’t give a shit about anyone but yourself. You’re dumb and proud of it. You think if you eat enough plates of shit, they’re going top let you fuck Alanah MacTiernan or something.

I doubt this comment will stay up, but it’s true nonetheless.

Why is it that my former owner just this week txt’d me asking if I knew the url for the TIF when he spends time at a yard every day speaking with other day and night drivers? Obviously he had never heard of them either.

I mearly wanted to poiint out to the general public that this supposed “Taxi ‘INDUSTRY’ Forum” had a meagre membership at best and does not by any stretch of the imagination speak for the INDUSTRY at large.

You’re a peaky. It’s not as if there’s a lot of time on Friday and Saturday nights to go round canvassing drivers.

If you want to know who they are then find out, for fuck’s sake and don’t go trumpeting your ignorance like it’s something to be proud of.
