Whilst my previous incarnations as Taxi Globe’s
Lana Sherif and Mr X were
long ago disposed with when I told myself that both had reached
their natural conclusions and should never be heard of again in
Taxiland, I must tell one story that’s been inside me for a dozen or

As the nefarious and masked Mr X, I was guiding former WWE wrestling superstars Johnny B.Badd, Curt Henig aka Mr Perfect and manager Bobby "The Brain" Heenan around the children’s ward in St Thomas’s hospital, Westminster.

 The Laser beam gives an inch-perfect shot cheap at only $49.95 (around £30) and it's available now from HERE. The set includes a 58inch, two-piece cue with a secure microfibre grip and an aluminium joint and ferrule, in addition to two tip scuffers, two chalks, three replacement leather-tipped ferrules and a hard-side, zippered nylon carrying case with shoulder strap and accessory pocket. It requires three 1.5V batteries (six are included). It weighs 3lbs - not including the extra weight of the money who will win if inclined. Neither does it include any first-aid kit should you get rumbled! Jonathen
