Taxi drivers and Lisbon

I had that Giscard Destaing in the back in the of the cab once. I asked him, - What's it all about then? And do you know, he couldn't tell me...

My husband, T.S. Eliot, loved to recount how late one evening he stopped a taxi. As he got in, the driver said: "You're T.S. Eliot." When asked how he knew, he replied: "Ah, I've got an eye for a celebrity. Only the other evening I picked up Bertrand Russell, and I said to him: 'Well, Lord Russell, what's it all about,' and, do you know, he couldn't tell me."

Oh God the apostrophes.

The difference between "Their" and "There" is seemingly a mystery to some, and the word "been" instead of "being" seems to have replaced the confusion over "Loose" and "Lose"; but to be fair, they are Taxi Drivers, not writers.


How long before one of them does a Travis Bickle though?

As a group of people respecting the value of hard work I assume they have paid full rights for the use of the music

Nonetheless they'll recognise the difference between No & Yes on the ballot paper. The yes side truly deserves you.
