Ok i'v been thinking this for a while and hopefully i can get a better answer from this forum.
Plane spotters, take pics of anything that flys write number of anything that flys etc...
Train spotters, specific rules and regs on what to take or what to not take or else you get called a ned...
Explain :? :confuzzled:
IMO the problem isn't what people take numbers/photograph/bash that's the problem per se, it's more how they go about the hobby. My problem is people who obviously have no life other that trains who perpetually go on about the most un-interesting crap that I couldn't care less about.Somebody please

Nah - she just wants a free lunch each weekIn fact Gemma liked being out with me yesterday that we've now organised the same every week.
Now I challenge any of you (apart from maybe Craig & Vicki ) to better that mixture in a day .

Not sure what plane spotters do for sure, so can't comment there.
Fine, but do you really need to get so excited about your hellfire mental bash to the toilets at Cardiff bus station or whatever?I have no problem with how much I'm into my hobby.

I don't understand why people feel that it's necessary to froth at the sight of a train, I don't do it for trains or any other of my hobbies. If I started getting into flap every time I saw a photo opportunity and started shouting "hellfire" and "dreadful", people would quite rightly think I was a bit of a ****.
Didn't you post a story a while back detailing your toilet stops for the day?With respect to the first bit, if anyone did get excited about a trip to the lavatories I think they'd need their head looking at! I certainly don't!
Sometimes it's necessary to label people. Yes there's a common interest, but some of the various areas are worlds apart. One fairly extreme example would be people who work for the railway and people who stand at the end of a platform writing down numbers come rain or shine - hardly the same.I don't understand why some people, especially those who declare themselves to be enthusiasts, have to use unsightly and unnecessary labels for people.
Not if I was also wetting myself at the prospect of travelling on an HST...I must offer a contrary opinion to your thinking that people would think you're a **** for using the word 'dreadful' around a train. If it were done with terrible service with FGW around you then I do believe they'd agree with you!
Quite suprised on a forum of obsessed Piggers we have 18 votes 4 444s...
Bah they both good I want to vote for both.
If you mean calling people stoats then I think it is necessary. I don't want to be associated with any of the states that can be seen making station platforms look untidy. Most of my friends who know I have an interest in railways can tell the difference between my interest and that of a stoat, which is a good thing. If there was no labelling then people might think that I do the same thing as stoats, which isn't true.No-one is suggesting that there aren't differences with some people, but those weren't the labels I were referring to.
I wasn't referring to that kind of wetting, some people seem to get a little bit too excited at the sight of a train...As for wetting oneself as a result of an upcoming HST, well I believe the only ticket such people would need is a one-way, direct route-only, ticket to the doctor's to get such a problem (the lack of a controllable bladder) sorted. Like I've said elsewhere in this thread, any and all rail moves are exciting to me. I'm obsessed with HSTs.
It's his nickname on other forums as well AFAIK, makes sense to keep it unified.
I swear you must enjoy trying to prove me wrong!

I ONLY do when I need to go, the most exciting bit is to try & find 1 thats free :mrgreen:
Dont we all!
