Dragons

These kids sat in the back and requested to go out west. The cabbie asked to see the money. When they refused he threw them out, then gave as good as he got. Welcome to the Year of the Dragon...

Clowns

Well it's time for a update after being side tracked over a video project, finished just in time for Christmas. This precluded all else, including emails, blogging and other regular tasks. Except work, of course. This damage above happened when a boy/punk stood in the middle of the road hailing...

OZCabbie

The popular taxi industry magazine for drivers, OZCabbie has finally gone online. Founder and editor Peer Lindholt has been a solitary and tireless advocate for drivers over the years and it's good to see OzCabbie now available to a much wider audience. For passengers it provides an rare insight into...

For the moment Cablog has taken a back seat to a mind-boggling adventure in the world of high definiton video production. So with Christmas upon us delivery is a priority, hence the dearth of postings. My apologies. Yet the beat goes on in the cab world. In cabbie parlance, 'there's...

Queens

I don't suppose anyone made it to the Diva awards on Monday night at Fox Studios, or partied on at Kit and Kaboodle in Kings Cross? Fair enough, most would be reluctant to go out on a Monday night. What irks me about carting drag queens is the amount of...

Brides

There are numerous transport options for a bride and groom on their big day. They can live the dream by going the horse and carriage mode, the original taxi cab... Or they can simply take off their shoes and walk across the road to a beach ceremony, as my son...

Crashing

2011-10-21T06:11:12+11:00

Posting is currently light due to a side project editing HD video footage. After years of knocking out short videos on the Nokia I decided it was time to get fair dinkum and move to a prosumer editor. The only trouble is that despite running on a powerful new box...

Tough

2011-10-11T05:45:50+11:00

After enduring a PC overhaul and upgrade last week I managed to wipe my entire email archive from the server. Only to learn the u beaut back-up drive doesn't automatically save certain email files! Don't trust external back-up drives, they're evil. So for anyone who has recently been in email...

Habib

2011-10-07T02:29:11+11:00

Over the weekend Habib got off a Brisbane train and slowly walked to the cab sucking on a cigarette whilst eyeballing me. I was playing with the phone but had seen him approach, a big bloke in grubby trackies with a sports bag over the shoulder. From the back seat...

Munted

2011-10-04T05:54:30+11:00

The weekend just gone in Sydney was, as they say, massive with four nights of full-tilt boogie. The weather was bleak, bitter or unbearable so I dressed for winter. The chill didn’t deter hordes of revellers, though, descending on the City to celebrate...having Monday off work. I still don’t know...
