Just spotted a new follower on twitter, her bio: loves films,music, comedians, photography and geekyness.
"Loves films, music." Who doesn't?
"Photography." Check
"Comedians." I have my moments!
"Geekyness." See below.
Where I live, they have removed all the old 'dangerous' rolling stock from the railway lines that serve our area. The ones with the slam-doors.
There is one operated by Virgin since a newer set got written off, and because I haven't been on one since I were a lad, yesterday I went determined to hunt it down.
So instead f going out with a group of friends who go on fruitless women hunts at every oppurtunity, I went with my Uncle who is a serious gricer to find it.
Behold! The Pretendolino! Complete with windows you can stick you head out of, and subsequently almost get it knocked off by a signal.
We found out it stopped at a nearby station, but when we got there we found out it was set down only, so when the platform staff weren't looking we ran on it!
Was great fun, and more comfortable then modern stock. I think that qualifies as a geek, right? :lol:
