Double Jobbers Out!

Coriolanus

Was walking in town today in the O'Connell St. area and saw a few stickers with this slogan on those horrible grey plastic bins.

I believe it's got something to do with politicians who are working in Brussels while also holding a seat in the Dail.. could be wrong though

It's a taxi driver thing. They're bored with racism and have moved onto this.

They want to keep there gene-pool Taxi Driver Specific and pure from outsiders.

They see themselves as a pure breed of human & do not wish to allow any Untermenschen into there chosen trade.

They have also started a selective reproduction program & are rounding up Non-Irish & others who have a 2nd job into labour camps to be 're-educated'

Nah. More like the politicians "working" as teachers should quit their teacher job when they get elected. At the mo, if a full-time teacher becomes a politician, their post can not be filled in their absence with a permanent teacher; the school must employ subs. So if they taught for 5 years, became a politician for 30 years, when they stop being a politician, they can breeze back into the teacher job, or retire, and have both the teacher pension and the politician pension. Correct me if I'm wrong, but that'd be for being a teacher for five 35 years, and a politician for 30 years...

Ah, those f**kers. They can goto hell. I see naught wrong with the people I work with working in a taxi at the weekend. If the taxi people only have a problem with it now, as opposed to before taxis were deregulated, meh.

Cheap Thrills!

Double jobbers out?

One sh!t is plenty. :cool:

They are the most money hungry tightwads i've ever met.

If anyone is making more money than them they automatically go ape****.

Gene pool specifics? Like the racism, stupidity and general lack of humanity. Next you'll tell me they want to take off their masks and prove their reptilian.

Ironically it's actually a protest against confusing protest stickers, they have effectively highlighted the issue its just nobody realizes it.

Is it seriously a taxi driver thing? That's fcuking rich if true. Who do they think they are to have any say over who can get into the business, even if it is part time? Nothing stopping those losers from taking up a second job if they feel so hard done by.

I think, but i may be wrong, that it's about civil servants doubling as taxi drivers.

It just doesn't make as catchy a slogan.

Double Jobbers decrease the amount of taxi's on our road. They have identified a good way of making money, ie, take it in shifts to run a single cab, great idea and frankly i can't understand why irish taxi drivers dont do this! There is a hole in the market that can be penetrated. I'm a big fan of double penetration myself.....<tumble weed rolls by>.

if its so skillful - why do we see so many taxi drivers break the rules of the road EVERY day .... why do (almost) ALL taxi drivers have a Sat Nav ?

Dont get me wrong - taxi's if properly regulated - can provide a good service....but to be honest they are over priced and full of drivers who are on the roads so much they consider themselves to have a "devine right" to be on the roads and every other road user is beneath them.

they do not respect other road users, they do not acknowledge pedestrians, cyclists, motorbikes and in some cases even other cars/vans and trucks are expected to give way.....a taxi driver (and his driving) should be retested on a regular basis...or a continual basis.

I do think anyone who drives for a living should be subject to more testing than the ordinary road user - they are given the responsibility to "taxi" a person safely home or to their destination....we need to ensure they do so .... using the rules of the road and not the taxi version of rules of the road.

There's no "skill" in being a taxi driver, in fact it tends to be a job for those with absolutely no marketable skills whatsoever.

Taxi driving is a low income job across the world, but the uneducated idiots think that they can go back to the good old days of regulation to restrict the supply to the consumer to inflate their wages.

scrapsmac

I believe its called Jobbers or Yobbers... it might be a soft J. Apparently you double shift the same taxi. It's supposed to be wild!

Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't you a professional photographer?..

Its a bit rich (pun) when a photographer points the finger and accuses a taxi driver, or anyone else for that matter as being "over priced".

Recently four passport sized photos - anything from €14-€20!.. No developing, 'snap - computer - printer' 2 minutes, no skills and me walking away feeling like I've been assraped.

Recent school photos - don't get me started on that one!.

Thank God when I got married a photographer friend covered the wedding as a present.

But anyway 'Double Jobbers Out' - seen those stickers on the rear window's of taxi's a lot in Dublin.. Its a pity their not putting them on the front window's, because I think thats the kind of cab driver I'd rather avoid.

They often do both together, tell me that isnt an art in itself. Trying to grab a breakfast roll and a copy of The Sun while being illegaly parked should be a national sport.

never seen a degree course in taxi driving...

Some healthy racism from the Irish taxi community I see, this is why I
refuse to get into a taxi with a white man :pac: I'm much happier getting
the taxi driver to throw on some Nigerian music - usually Fela Kuti :cool:
instead of FM104

But yeah, err... Double Jobbers Out! :mad:

sponsoredwalk

This isn't really just more crap @ Nigerian taxi drivers is it? I've read some
horrible comments on other forums just now but it doesn't seem to be
solely focused on for'nurs...

Here's a comment on another forum I see the logic in & don't understand
why this would be an issue:

I am one of the ****wits who rushed into the buiss thinking that
common sence would dawn on Kathleen and she would issue no more
plates. I am a full time taxi driver who will have to look for a parttime job
to suppliment my taxi income.Now francis some people will call me double
jobbin scum but which is better for other drivers if I work two shifts extra
a week as a taxi driver or try to find something else to boost my pay.

So is this anger & hatred @ double jobbers just ridiculous?

And a degree entitles you to a ton of money?.

Doesn't take a degree to point and shoot, stick your stuff on the computer, some processing and Bob's your uncle. And lets me honest about it, thats the majority of the work carried out by a photographer.

Yeah, the job is a step above doormen in terms of intelligence required to do it...I think using the word craft might be pushing it.

to be honest your talking out your proverbial. if you think thats all there is to being professional photographer well, I dont really know what else to say, If you honestly think it, justifying whats entailed is probably wasted on you, but I assure you, thats not all it is.

You've just posted up a lot of nothing tbh.

Point, snap, process.. Maybe get your head around a bit of photoshop for the ugly people and your away in a hack, and you can charge what you like in a completely unregulated industry if your any way half talented.

Plus you can work a taxi on the side!.

Prove me wrong.

i'm studying a degree in photography. i could possibly send you the subjects I study, the theories we learn, would that be enough. yes its an unregulated industry, your also only referring to one small element of photography, portraits, yes you can work as a taxi driver on the side, sure you can work as anything on the side.

All i'm saying is, comparing pricings of a taxi, and the work of a photographer, is comparing chalk and cheese

A sh1t photographer maybe. Sure film directors,all they do is tell people where to point a camera, music conductors only wave a stick about, sure all jobs are easy why does anyone deserve to be paid for anything :rolleyes:
