I was never a proper trainspotter - not enough commitment - but that doesn't mean I don't have a sneaking rearguard for those with the worlds least cool hobby. However according to the Times the writing may finally be on the wall:
How Osama bin Laden killed trainspotting.
This is sad. Trainspotters get a worse press than terrorists or rapists yet they are one of the few rebellious groups left. Think I'm joking - well who are today's' rebels ? Society prefers people to be docile consumers who'll live their lives vicariously though passive hobbies like watching television or football. At best we are allowed to go an buy stuff that has been approved by the media. If it doesn't make money for someone then society and the Government want it to stop.
