I am now fully convinced that taxi drivers are involved in another dodgy practice, besides going on strike and butting into passengers private conversations.

Speaking of that street: someone I know went speed dating in a bar in Dublin. He called his sister to try to find somewhere else to go in a hurry. He felt he was going to be raped if he stayed where he was. His sister was in the George, a gay bar, with 2 of her male friends. The speed dater took refuge in a gay bar to get away from the mob of horny women. How strange is that?
