Backhander

Years ago I came across a woman driving a car with the personal plate number, 666. When I inquired if she was worried by the negative connotations of such a number, she just laughed dismissively as if to say, it’s bullshit. Which is probably the best attitude.

However a San Francisco cabbie has had enough bad luck with his 666 plate and has petitioned authorities that it be changed. Trouble is, they've offered him a replacement number, 1307 ! Nice backhander.

Speaking of amusing number plates, here’s a taxi number I regularly see around town. It’s always reminds me of an infatuated Tim Blair commenter, 1.618. Let’s hope she never catches this small dog, barking from behind a bush.

Tim Blair on Saturday is quite entertaining. I'll never look at New Castle the same way again,I enjoyed the Pasha Bulker story.
Love the number plate. Is it the golden ratio?

So I gather the "Tim Blair" who left that pitiable comment about cabbies on July 24 is not the blogger of that name, but some pathetic needle-dick sheltering behind a proxy server? Listen, poonce, best you catch the bus from now on, there are drivers in Adelaide who'd happily take you on a no-return trip to Truro...

And yes, many drivers are highly educated, and drive for a varity of reasons -family, sick spouse, uncomplicated job etc.. I happen to be a solicitor, I know plenty of guys with degrees driving -what about you, genius? Graduated from crayons to the PC recently?

I've decided to find a new love interest. Let it be known by all Taxi Drivers, I'm dumping Tim Blair, as he is away.
