.....for anyone who's had anything good happen for them, or their family, friends, acquaintances etc,or who sees anything positive on its way, or has any ideas on how to engineer an upturn, or just has something to say that isn't woe, doom, crisis, armageddon.

New job? Small (or big) lottery win? Increased bonus or dividend? Shares windfall ? Good property sale? Result v taxman? Impressive new contract? Expansion move? ......c'mon, don't be shy....

My taxi biz is about halfway through the rto of a taxi biz double its size. 300+ cars now. Started with 12 in July '07. There are only 4 bigger in Scotland now. Watch this space.

Figures up on last week?

It has been a stunningly good weekend for the private hire firms. Not even ordinarily good. STUNNINGLY good. Tomorrow I will try to analyse why.

Dunno D. Can't figure it out. Really strange massive spike on Friday especially, and not just nightshift either. Can't wait till the comms room renovation is finished. Wonder what 35-40000 jobs a week is like!! It's a good laff in that Posso ganghut, but I think I'll spend more time roaming around soon.

BTW, don't suppose anyone's told you, but Hallowe'en is the busiest taxi night of the year. So get ready now!!!!

On Tuesday I fell deeply in love at first sight. And subject to financing (which is via the dealer so probably likely to happen), it will be in my garage by mid-May. Fukk the recession! Let's DRIVE!!!!!!

What did you get?

Don't want to jinx it because finance not agreed and in place yet, so it's staying unrevealed till then but it is an absolute stunnah! (to me at least).
