Tube strike, Goes West

Started work last night about 8.30pm, Thinking it would be Buzzing because of the tube strike, practically everyone that got in said you must be very busy tonight,I say "did you wait long for a cab" - "No actually it was very easy got one straight away" I leave it at that Thinking if it was F--king busy you wouldn't get a F__king cab would you, you F--king twat,
Anyway getting used to the switch to nights now, the body clock is slowly coming round,
I had one of those nights last night where everyone seemed to want to go to the West side of London,
Firstly i had two women flag me down in Brook st Both Getting into the cab Whilst holding Telephone conversations on their respective Mobile Phones, they get straight into the cab without saying anything, I have to admit that is one thing that gets my Goat up,Then they try to let me know their destinations by lipping the words via my rear view mirror, even if i understand the destination i Crack on i didn't understand and continue doing so, until they Do something like this, the phone goes down to the shoulder "Hold on a Minute Darling" Sorry we would like to go to Askew rd and then onto Acton" Then its straight back to the call, i get on with it feeling i have just won some small victory for Cabby's,
Anyway after dropping off in Acton i came straight back down the A40 back into town Via the Marylebone rd turning right into Marylebone high st, I trapped straight away a women gets in asking for WAIT FOR IT "Askew rd" so its back off to Askew rd Shepherds Bush, i came back the same way, this time turning right into Baker st Then i got flagged down by four Asian Guy's asking for what sounded like Candle st I'm Repeating "Candle st" whilst trying to decipher what it was "Yes Say's he Candle st" Then it came to me Oh you mean Kendal st "Yes" Say's he "Candle st", i had a good laugh and went on my merry way, Arriving into Kendal st i asked whereabouts "Bombay Palace" Say's he, Well i knew that was around the corner in Connaught st, so i just drove around to the Restaurant, they get out and come up to the window "HOW MUCH"- "Six Pound's" they then proceed to count out all their joint Shrapnel and in what seemed like an infuriating eternity, they counted out £6,the meter went up 60pence it took them that long,I DO NOT CHARGE THE SIXTY PENCE, officially we are supposed to stop the clock when we pull up, but experience has taught me it just doesn't work because what happens is they give you a destination, on arrival they say pull up over there, you pull up stop the clock and only one gets out, and the other one Say's right id like to go to Wherever,

Anyway i turn the cab around, when the thought comes into my mind the Mercury music awards are on in the Grosvenor House Hotel, so i head for Park Lane,

Approaching the hotel I'm flagged down, Another one straight into the back Yapping on his phone, but he drop's the phone to the shoulder "Ealing" So its back out West again, I knocked it on the head about 2am, Iv just heard the tube strike has been suspended so hopefully all will be back to normal tonight

Thankyou Chelsea and Westminster Hospital

My second Youngest Grandson Joshua, was rushed into Northwick Park Hospital on Friday night complaining of stomach pains, He's four God love him, It was then decided by the Doctors to transfer him to Chelsea and Westminster,
Thank god they did, a much better, Cleaner more modern, better equipped Hospital,
Acute Appendicitis was diagnosed, and tonight about 22:00 they operated on him to remove his Appendix, He's now in recovery and doing well, Its at times like this you really appreciate what a wonderful Underpayed Under-appreciated, Job our Doctor's and Nurses do Thank you All,

As i haven't been to work today for obvious reasons, I thought i might share with you a past Experience, as i was reminded by Carlos, last night AKA Londoncabby,
This was the last time i was working nights, I picked up this guy in Kensington Who asked for Romford, as i approached Knightsbridge i noticed he was Talking quite loudly on his mobile phone, to my amazement Whilst Snorting Cocaine, I told him to leave it out, and he stopped momentarily, as i went through Piccadilly underpass Heading East, He started again, So i decided enough was enough, Flying through the tunnel i pulled up Quite sharply outside the Athenaeum Hotel in Piccadilly,


and i told him to get out to which he started Shouting even louder down his mobile phone "The Fucking Cabby is Kicking me out for sniffing" i said "Forget whats on the meter just get out" fearing what might lay ahead in Romford i decided to go with my intuition, He got out leaving the door open, when he was about fifty Yards away i got out to close the door, Seeing me, he came Charging at me shouting "Do you Fucking Want Some"
More out of luck and Instinct i planted One right on his Kisser, I hit the Button Marked Goodnight, Believe me it was Luck, Quickly Grabbing him by both Shoulders, to stop him getting up, i couldn't believe what happened next, Both Black cab's & to my amazement Minicabs pulled over, to see if i needed any assistance, I shouted out call the Old Bill, And it was at that point i felt a Shearing pain OOZING up my arm, He had sunk his teeth into my arm,

Again i reacted Quickly and let go of the Wanker, he got up and legged it into Green park Tube never to be seen again

SEDUCE MY ANTIQUATED FOOTWEAR

Saturday night started off as expected, First job Finchley road to Heddon street lovely straight into the middle, drop off there and its round onto the Hilton, Doorman call's me over,

Golden Hinde please Driver, is that the Chippie in Marylebone lane Say's me, No Say's the punter its a Ship in Clink st s.e.1, ok off i go, I'd better Give Mr Knowledge a ring AKA Londoncabby, to make sure I know whereabouts the drop off is, To my amazement He dropped it, didn't know, Anyway i could see it on the pda Map and decided to attack it from Bedale st, as I'm going along Southwark st, Police car's and Van's are Zooming by me Siren's Whaling, Thinking nothing more of it i turn into Bedale st, and am met by No Joke Fifty policemen, Met Police, British Transport Police, Plain Clothed Police, and it was then i noticed the road was covered in Broken Glass, Police Vehicles Blocked my path, so the passengers Got out and walked, i was payed off and decided I'd better turn around and high tail it out of there, This time my path was blocked by some Guy sweeping up the Glass, Curiosity got the better of me so i stuck my head out the window, and asked what had happened, This is how he told it, "Millwall came down here and grabbed hold of everything that wasn't bolted down Glasses Bottles, and anything else to hand, and started to launch them at Huddersfield, Spoiling a perfectly Good Saturday, " Off goes the Hire light, Zooming past Panic stricken faces everywhere with their hands out, Driving past London bridge station, i could see a Right old Cafufull going on in there,

Across London Bridge to Safety and left into Cannon St, I'm flagged down by a Couple off out for the night that want to go to St John st, Thank God for that i think away from all the trouble, anyway after dropping them off i headed along Clerkenwell rd back into Town, I Trapped a fare By Clerkenwell Green, Three old boy's "We've been waiting Fifteen minutes for a cab What's going on Anyway You're here now can you take us to London Bridge stn, You couldn't make it up if i saw something like that on Eastenders I'd say "How Corny" Its at this point i ask the Three old Boy's if they are Millwall Football Hooligans, I told them what had been going on, Partly hoping they might change their mind's, They gave me their assurances they were past Punch ups, One old Boy pipe's up i used to play for Urinal's UTD, i couldn't help myself so i said, "I bet you didnt kick up a stink when you lost Though" And it went straight past them,

Happily by the time i got back to London Bridge all was Quite on the Western Front,, As there was A Que for Cab's, i Got a fare up to New North Rd In Highbury .

The rest of my evening was pretty uneventful by Saturday's standards and at Midnight i got a job up to Hampstead and decided to call it a night, to Quit while ahead.
