What a sad hobby this is.

Went to Parkgate earlier with the wife and we passed a bloke Nr Rawmarsh bus depot, logging all the busses in and out and taking photo's!!

I've seen one also in Tarn doing the same thing, they look like a train spotter crossed between a bird watcher.

Very amusing

That might touch a nerve . . .

. . . with someone on here. But I'm saying no more.

 

opps! I Just can't see what they can get out of it! Surely getting a bus timetable is easier!!

 

No offence mate, just find it amusing

 

That would be Tuffers, did he have 5 or 6 Bics in his top pocket in one of them expanding clips?

 

Saw 2 blokes doing the same thing in Fitzallen Square in sheff this dinnertime. With buses going in about 5 different directions at the same time, they looked like Jack Russells outside a supermarket!!

 

Maybe it's Blakey from On The Buses!

One for the over 35's there!

 

Not as good as train ignoring!

For this week's hobby, you will need a pen, a list of all the rolling stock in Great Britain today, a blindfold - or some eyelids, a flask of weak lemon drink, and a trainspotter. Simon's trainspotter of choice is called Alan.
The premise of this hobby involves standing at railway sidings with the trainspotter and waiting. When you hear a train coming, cover your eyes & apply the blindfold. Your trainspotter will tell you which train has just gone past & you can then catalogue it, keeping a record of the trains that you have now ignored.

Yorkshire Traction, RIP

 

Why?

What harm do we do?
Why do people who do this for a hobby ALWAYS get the pissed ripped from them?
What is wrong with the hobby?
Why is it \\\'sad\\\'?

A rather pissed off bus enthusiast.

 

RE: Why?

Ok then, why do yorkshire traction manage to make every service 3 minutes late when leaving the bus station?

 

RE: That might touch a nerve . . .

Damn right it did.

 

Mate, after you've done bus spotting, are you going to move on to taxi watching?

ff

 

RE: Why?

God knows ..... How they got done not so long since for running buses early is also a puzzling one.

 

RE: Mate, after you've done bus spotting, are you going to move on to taxi watching?

I go fishing im already sad enough.

 

RE: Mate, after you\'ve done bus spotting, are you going to move on to taxi watching?

Don\'t do taxi\'s.

 

Do you have a model village set up in the loft? With little buses??
