Surely it would make more sense if they were taking pictures of the trains, rather than just crossing them off a list, wouldn't there?
I saw a film recently about bird-spotting (I don't know the proper term) and the guy had a small book of 500 birds and was at like 496 and wanted to commit suicide when he got to 500. Strange thing to live for, I have to say. Or to die for. But then again, all people have their little quirkinesses, that's what makes lives good.
Hahah, bus spotting, that would be useful. Or like tram-spotting, would just call up my friend and ask which tram to take to somewhere and when it runs
It's good to have friends like this.
I love trains, though. Being in them, seeing them, mostly the antique-looking and older ones, rather than these new flashy cars. More like this
