    Most of them are part-timers. They only work when there's high demand.

    Its the sign of a very healthy economy when the population falls into three distinct groups - just look at the Gaza Strip:

    1. Public Service
    2. Taxi Drivers
    3. Unemployed

    Why are market forces not reducing the numbers, they are like a plague of locusts in Dublin, choking up the streets and kerb crawling for fares!

    And the newest one is being stalked by taxis, how things have changed!
    Yes!!!! I noticed that as well. I thought maybe I was just drunk and imagining it, but when a car slowly pulls up beside you you kinda get scared! It's annoying.
    There's probably no god. Now, stop worrying and enjoy your life.

    Dame St, Aungier St, Georges St, South William St and Camden St are impossible to traverse on a Friday or Saturday night after 9pm due to the plague of taxi drivers blocking up the streets. 95% of the locusts are unoccupied.

    I'm replying, so I guess stupid would be the answer to that one.

    But anyways, please point out the obvious so, for those of us not as... enlightened as you.
