You sound as though you are living in denial. Whatever I will leave it here and crack on with my wine.
Cheers, I've just opened a nice bottle of Waxed Bat myself, think I'll stick my Elvis Country CD on anarl, this is on it, best song title ever.....
 


Train spotters too



You'll enjoy your pint all the more tonight marra

As I pour my fourth can of strongbow
Each to their own, you deserve a f-cking hangover in the morning. No, it wasn't me, each to theur own.

Bona fide trainspotter when I were a lad.

Still love anything to do with trains.

Used to come up to Darlington from Kings X in the early sixties to hols with me nan and granda.

A4s and Deltics used be the traction, Alycidon, St Paddy, Crepello, Dominion of Canada, Bittern...

The Talisman, Aberdonian, etc those were the days..

@PinzaC55 :cool:
I liked the Scottish names best Redgauntlet, Hal o the Wynde, Madge Wildfire, (A1s).

I reckon the majority of these bus spotters have some form of autism mind. Seems to be a common obsession for them...mediums of transport.

There's normally a few of them at the top of Pilgrim Street in Newcastle during the day, including that daft lad who used to be in the Echo whenever we released a new strip and was always first in the queue.
 
Having a pint in Chaplins and looked out of the window to see a bloke with a very decent camera taking pictures of buses coming out of the station in the rain, each to their own but fuck me that's a sad and pointless thing to do imo, which others make you think WHY?
What happens is years later you look at a picture of a bus leaving park lane and say wow ,or it could be an unknown Debbie harry walking into Cbgbs etc.Meanwhile you were in Chaplins on another non re countable night .

Just back from Shildon Railway Museum with the bairn, fair few weirdos walking about that place. Wanking over steam trains ect.
Etc

I disagree. Take a look at the interesting photograph thread for reasons why this chap was doing a very good thing. We take things for granted because we are used to them. Fifty years from now you will be looking at those photos and saying, ee, do you remember when buses were painted black with a cat on them?

Or even, do you remember when we had buses and had to drive in cars! Cue little Martian men falling over laughing their socks off!
Like we have galahad so we can say ,Eeee remember Elvis

Fancy bus spotting when you can be big and clever having a good drink with your equally interesting friends.
'Ooh look, I can drink git loads and lie about unlikely sexual conquests and improbable fighting escapades '.

I had three pints while watching the footy, talk about going OTT! I love old pictures of anywhere and yes I suppose in time they will be classed as a snippet of social history but if buses are the focus buses is what you'll get, the vantage point chosen will have room for little else.

Historical re- enactment societies
Absolute wrang uns
Can be entertaining to watch if it's battle orientated but fuck me I wouldn't like to get stuck in a lift with one. Their off duty clothes are as old as their re-enactment ones! Mind I've just hoyed a spare sock out from the late 90s.

Bit like only keeping cool old cars on the road ,the ordinary is where the interesting stuff lies looking back .A pastime suggests people doing something and to me something is much better than nothing which is very common with people today
 
skimming through this thread and thought I’d accidentally clicked to another page... trainspotters lol, haha stamp collectors...”Elvis was a f***ing nonce” :eek: how the fuck did that happen :lol:
It's called alcohol. 1030. SMB.
Three vital ingredients to the formula commonly known as
WHAT THE FUCK???!!!!!
 
No it is common knowledge t typed whatever he typed into Google hat Elvis started dating Priscilla at 14 years old . As to your Pete Townshend reference I am not a kiddy fiddler and although I am a Who fan and think Townshend is a great songwriter be is also a nonce who managed to avoid prosecution.



Are you saying Elvis didn't date a child or that it is ok to do so ?

I like few Who songs but that's all.
Town sends statement was backed up by the FBI who'd been monitoring his screen from the moment he typed whatever it was he typed into Google. He nivver viewed any child porn as the FBIs records corroborated. He'd been at a reception for Jerry Halls campaign to stop bands having their tours cosponsored by visa, access and American Express because these credit card firms also accepted membership payments for child porn sites from nonces. Townsend didn't believe it was that easy so registered with one himself the next day but nivver clicked beyond the registration acceptance page. The FBI confirmed everything in his statement to the metropolitan police as did Jerry Hall which is why he wasn't prosecuted.
He was naive to do it and just as naive to accept a caution. His solicitors and management had advised him not to accept the caution but the thought of even the threat of a court case was more than he could handle so he did. Big mistake.

There's more musicians deserving of nonceness than Townsend. Plenty regularly seen in public with their underage GFs back in the day. Wyman, Page, Tyler etc.

The reason Townshend wasn't prosecuted was because he accepted a police caution which is an admission of guilt.

Dunno why I'm even showing an interest in this tbh. I'm not a big Who fan. But once more for the hard of thinking:

He admitted registering on the site but the FBI and Metropolitan Police confirmed he didn't view any child porn. His attendance at Jerry Halls do to back her campaign when added to his metropolitan police statement being corroborated exactly with what FBI viewed on his screen as it happened backs that up. Especially when every laptop, pc and phone at his home and business addresses showed no attempt to view it either.

He was guilty of registering on a child porn site. He was not guilty of viewing any child porn. But you already knew this and are simply looking for an arguement which you won't get here. For that reason I'm out.
 
For those who have so much to say about those with "sad" pastimes, the saddest one that I have known and seen are the saddos who watch their "beloved" football team that hasn't won anything for years. A win at their home ground is a distant memory, a goal is as rare as rocking horse shit. They sing but it takes a worried man to sing a worried song. The saddest pastime of all is to be a Sunderland supporter, I speak from experience. Even sadder is when Sunderland supporters take the p-ss out of other for actually enjoying themselves, not getting pissed and doing no one any harm. Now f-off to your stadium, the darkest in football.

I am not looking for an argument , simply replying to your reply. I've read up on various BBC etc accounts of his case and what various authorities have to say. Nor do I have any axe to grind.

There's no argument he admitted it.
The man himself

Sorry but I'm not sure what the point of your post actually is. I don't know what the "it" is that you refer too.
In my post I DO say that he admitted registering on the site but denied viewing owt. As the FBI and Met Police confirmed.
He's not a nonce he's a fuckin idiot.
