Originally posted by RichardCranium View PostI had a cabbie in North Wales who had been a member of the Royal Protection Squad (which was when he shagged Princess Di), was in the SAS and was a Police marksman. He was still on a special emergency call-up in case of anyone needing rescuing during a revolution.
He spent a few years driving prison vans and he used to beat up the really hard prisoners to sort them out because the prison officers did not know how to deal with them.
He used to drive InterCity 125s but was bored.
He now drives a minicab because it's a way to keep himself amused because he does not need to sleep.
I reckon he was bulltulipting about shagging Princess Di. It was probably just tips 'n' tops.Step outside posh boyComment

Works both ways.
I got a taxi just after Xmas, which turned out be driven by Bob Shawaddiwadi.
When he overheard me and my mate talking about some techy thing, he started telling us how he'd came to this country and was a fully trained PHP developer, and asked if we knew anywhere that was looking developers.
Surprisingly, the taxi ride was not plenty cheap!Comment

I was talking to the cabbie on my way back to clientco yesterday and it he told me he used to be a recruitment agent, he also told me he likes to wear the latest designer gear, but has to go to Reading to get it and he also mentioned his souped up motor that he's spent loads on for all the extras.
