The Semi-Retired Foamer has been a railfan since he was around 5 years old, oh yes a very young age, an age when one really should avoid being involved with the gunzel community to any great extent. A few rather unsavoury people bringing that fact home.
After a few decades of train chasing, one decided to break with protocol and get married, thus leading to a severe cut in railfan activity.
Subsequent dealings with hate breeders, lunatics, mental defectives and self-appointed preservation overlords lead to an even greater decrease in my hobby participation.
However things have changed thanks to our small group of trusted mates, interest has returned, and now I have become a bit more involved yet again..
_
 Over the years I have tried my best to further both the hobby, as well as the friendships that it brings. I have done this by setting up proactive groups both here in Australia, as well as the Philippines. It is with huge honour that I am often considered the founding father of the railfan hobby in the Philippines (my second home).
_
I don't take the hobby too seriously and I am a friend to anyone who is good and genuine. But never forgive those who have used their hate to destroy my hobby or hurt the friends within it.

Let's Make The Hobby Great Again!
I aim to share the era that I considered mine, the 80s and 90s. I also like to help promote, and even raise funds for, the various heritage societies that keep the era alive

MERRY XMAS & HAPPY NEW YEAR


MERRY XMAS & HAPPY NEW YEAR

Yes its the end of yet another year, where we celebrate successfully getting through it by ensuring ourselves a shorter life through the consuming of endless amounts of alcohol and food.
As always we will wish our friends and family a happy 2008, knowing full well that we will all continue to endure then endless hardships that life has offered in 2007, indeed in every past year that we have been faced with being on the planet.
Lets face it, life ain't no picnic!
So while meeting friends over the Xmas break, don't treat them like idiots with the usual guff spurted at Xmas, surprise them with a "I Hope You Get So Blind You Don't Remember Xmas and Hope You Get Through 2008 As Undamaged By Humanity As Possible".
They will love you for it *.

In the meantime I would like to thank the readers of my new blog for taking the time out of their busy life to come and have a read of the latest bollocks I have chosen to rant on about.
I especially would like to thank the special few who have actually taken time to send emails to me regarding the site. It is these emails that make the effort worthwhile and relieve the occasional worry that one is wasting ones own existence.
I look forward to bothering you with railway rubbish in 2008 and please remember, contributions of interest are always welcome.

Now run along and get drunk!

Brad
