I don't have a major problem, although he does get very worked up if he sees something special and uses rather too many of this MSN emoticon...

I was just at Eastleigh for the PIG move, and seeing as I've already copped the more common "Melon" Fred, but still need 777fred, thought I'd get him for phottage too. Plus he was in the way for my 60054 photo, so he's now on my site as well! :lol:


He's been carping on about getting people to flail for him on the Chopper Tour, people need to know what he looks like!

If I went and said Hi, he'd positively identify me and get a pic in return! :) Besides, I had no reason to want to talk to him. They are my photos, so I don't think he has any right really, he might be able to force me to blur his face though! :lol:


What has a female deer got to do with it anyway Nathan?

He did invest in a Tripod with his Pocket Money :)

It's taken him a long long time to save up for one :lol:
--- old post above --- --- new post below ---
Which is caped due to the loco hearing Fred will be around...

He won't see that ;)

Stupid really...go somewhere nice...like John Said, Millbrook :o


IF HE CAME TO MILLBROOK, I WON'T BE HAPPY!

Sure it's the other side of Milton Keynes, but it's near to me still <D<D

A bit rude there 'other fred', perhaps Mr JDS's dad was providing transport/company/also interested instead of being a billy with a tripod that maroons Mr stalebread777 in question.

No Fred, in case you hadn't realised my Dad is very useful in that he provides transport to and from the many locations I use. He is also an enthusiast, although more of a railway historian than a spotter/photographer. Anyway, Fred was rather excited over going to Millbrook (Hants) - although I imagine he'd be excited over Millbrook (Beds) too.

PS "Character assassination" - I like it, and spelt right too! :)

I think I may as well join in.

Fathers are great people. Not only are they loaded with money, they also provide plenty of company so we don't look like lone *icks on the platform. It's basically boy's and there toys enjoying what the UK has to give them, Which I know is not very much, but you get the odd piece of decent traction.

As for vomit bashing, I have to say I try and stay clear of vomit's at all time's unless I really have to use one to get to my destination.
Let me make this clear - Vomit Bashing is
1. Not Cool
2. Exceedingly Not Cool
3. A complete waste of time


At the end of the day, this thread has also been a waste of time due to no real proper forum conversation going on.

To be honest it's a picture...just like my one took in April 07 - When I got the Fred's Double headed by the toilets in the carriage of a HST ;)

What's all this 'billy' nonsense?

Why is most people obsessed about being with someone so you don't look like a loner?

There is nothing wrong with being yourself, as I am 99% of the time and I love it, i'm with mates nearly everyday and then when a trip comes along, I enjoy being myself, as i've said many of times if your yourself you can do what you want, when you want, how you want without taking into consideration of what the other person(s) your with wants to do.

Nice one, yeah I think the odd trip away by yourself is good.
Well it's a choice of learning to be independent or having a group of cronies around you all the time.
Sometimes a day out by yourself is best because it gives you a chance to do exactly what you want in the way you want to do it.

Right, After reading all this crap, ''fred'' trying to start rumors, and myself being genreally told off by others:neutral:.


My Trip to EH:

Got there abit late off the 1005 from Bournemouth, with thanks to 450 080, when the 442 move eventually came through it was a pleasant site, then afterwards the fab442 came strutting up to the end of the platform to get his prize shot of a tug, then sneared at me as he walked back along the platform to the other photographers giving evils and sniggering in the process.


Now, if you want to post images on this forum you ask me first, if I wanted to I could post some of you John, but I'm not going to.

Secondly, I have said nothing that relates to John or his father, all I said to fred was that his dad was there and he met him at the end of the platform and then they walked off.


Goold knows why fab442 was taking phots of me:neutral:.



Thank you
