I've never seen the movie so I don't know if that would help. Most mornings there appears to be a gent jotting down something in a pad as my train arrives. Carriage numbers I suppose. What sort of thrill do you think he gets? I don't get it.


I understand there are many people who don't understand why people want to chase after a round ball on a football pitch and why others would even want to watch it. Same goes for a lot of sports.


But trainspotting?

What do you want to know Alan? Trainspotting is like stamp collecting...or plane spotting, I guess. Not to be confused with railway enthusiasts/steam railway buffs. It has such an uncool image, its probably cool or something.


I agree with Otta, in rare cases I prefer the film to the book and this is one of them. I don't think I could read Irvine Welsh anymore though I read all his stuff when I was younger and enjoyed it. Radge.

I've a season ticket from ED to London Bridge (?712 a year). Compensation is...70p for any journey over 30 mins late.


Or ?2.80 since January. Hardly worth claiming but I do anyway.

    • As I said, it was my understanding. I worded it very carefully. I didn't/don't know for sure, so clearly not a fact. And hardly an "opinion", which is something completely different. You have no idea what reason anybody might have had for not voting for him (unless you can point to some opinion poll results which actually asked people?)
    • Also, just to add, the threat to kill someone's dog and try to kick it, is an additional extremely unpleasant layer. I have noticed a lot of the burst water balloons lying around in the park too- that is not great for the environment either.
    • I’m basing it on the fact that Jeremy Corbyn had repeatedly and on record said he is against mandatory vaccinations in any situation, and he wouldn’t disclose wether he had the Covid vaccine himself    as I said. Not as bad as his brother but very definitely a bit weird about the whole thing. Just say you had the vaccination Jeremy, say that everyone should and stop being weird in the middle of a global pandemic    it’s the same slippery evasive nonsense about Brexit and him. About Putin poisonings and him.     if you are happy with his evasiveness then you do you.  But there is a reason the country wouldn’t get behind him
