But thx anyway.

Arbroath said...

Heh heh, it was close.

What's the deal with these people, why are they all filming trains? Do some people treat trains like birds?

Arbroath said...

Trainspotters are an odd bunch.

There are others who just write down the train reference numbers in little notebooks.

I myself collect car register plate numbers. The Finnish numbers go from 1 to 999 and you're supposed to collect them in order. At the moment I am hunting number 28 (double digits are the rarest). It's not a conscious process anymore, checking the plates of passing cars, but I get worrisomely excited whenever I finally spot the number I've been unconsciously looking for for months.

Yeah, I'm like those trainspotters, and I don't care.

Heh heh, when I was a kid I used to do the same thing on car journeys. 
 
I can't recall how many years it took, but I felt so proud when I eventually reached 999.

You know what they call those trainspotters and trainfanatics?

Trainsexuals.
