Threads like this is why i have a bit of soft spot for you guys :laugh: What's your view your on train spotters? proper weirdo's in my book, could understand it years ago in the age of steam when they had a bit of character but every train looks the same nowadays, still see the odd group of them on the platform when setting off for away days, very strange folk :lol:

Notice your visit to us on the last day of the season now coincides with Charlie's coronation, if it doesn't get moved can we look forward to 1500 of you turning up in crowns & large prosthetic ears? :laugh:

train spotters actually do no harm. its like you think the same of people with different interests as we have. armchair expert football watches are far worse as you have to listen to them on the box especially when england are playing in a tournament final. back in the steam days you,d have had loads at your two local stations but mainly kids. these present ones may be just kids that never grew up.

Trainspotters are harmless, bother no one and eat their sarnies…. and their ‘target’ runs to a timetable and comes to them.
Birdwatchers are like a moving throng of middle aged men in camouflage or stout outdoor clothing circa 1956…… chasing the indifferent bird who’s been teasing them all their lives, making them single minded and and rude.
They’re the sort of bloke who’d enter the bedroom on his wedding night about to go into action and his mate Roger phones to say a ‘Lesser spotted Tripe Warbler’ had been spotted 200 miles away and he’d be off in a shot.

I suppose the trick is to befriend one of these loopies and every time he leaves his bride high and dry in total frustration you can step in to help him out so to speak. You could call it the journey from twitching to twatching.

these people with hobbies and interests that we might find odd are really harmless, hurting nobody even if they seem miserable and obsessed. many others however have interests that they want to foist on the rest of us like foodies,especially the non meat eating types, all climate change acrivists and even worse members of CAMRA where any products from independant brewers are the gift from the gods and only peasants drink what the majority do.

Birdwatchers are light years away from the Woke brigade….. love how they want to ban everything from fossil fuels to meat and dairy.
Do these smart phone addicted dummy’s not realise their very lifestyle is based on the things they wish to condemn….. if they had their way we’d live in a series of idyllic middle ages themed communities eating fecking grass with the life expectancy of 25 years…. Aah freedom. My arse.
