So long as they stand there without protecting the head and not distracting with the left jab before swinging the right hay bailer then I am happy.

dotpoom Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 I drove a Taxi on and off for 28 yrs. back home. If this little tit for tat caused almost 2 and a half million to go and view it ..I'd hate to see what they would have to say about an average night on our streets during a night shift.
