Re: Who do you know?
It seems this transport lover community is no different to any other scene.
You have the popular personalities and those that get gossiped about for being different.
The gunzel community is just as guilty of excluding others, being judgemental and other treacherous behavior as high school adolescents or so called adults at any workplace.
Few people can be trusted in general sadly.

Re: Who do you know?
It's technically not swearing if its censored now is it?I love the old buses wrote:Being 14 and in year 9 it is difficult to fit in because society is ####ed (yes i swore big whoop, we are all big girls now)
But how do they know that you're travelling on the bus to actually commute from somewhere instead of riding it for fun? Unless you had a camera with you it's not so obvious.I love the old buses wrote:I keep my hobby low-profile and very discrete. I don't even ride buses in my own area so I don't bump into any of my friends or people I know from school.
It seems as though I'm lucky that I go to school where I'm not bullied or victimised for liking transport. Do some people think it's a weird hobby? Yes of course, but I simply explain to them that it's no different to other mainstream hobbies such as playing sport or computer games (such as your Skyrims and your CODs). Some have even taken interest in it as well (I was impressed when one was able to state what CDC stands for). Some people I know have hobbies I think is weird but I could care less about it, it's not as though I'm going to judge them over it. I see their hobby as the same as mine. That being said I'm sure some people aren't as tolerant., it can be a rotten society we live in sometimes.
Now as for the members I know.

Well when I typed it, I didn't censor it, ATDB must have done it automatically.Thebusofdoom wrote:I love the old buses wrote:

Yeah, I always carry a camera with me, and some notes/paper and pen sometimes.Thebusofdoom wrote:I love the old buses wrote:

Re: Who do you know?
I keep my hobby secret-that's why I barely take pics of buses. Sometimes I'll get a sneaky shot or record bus sounds while I'm on a bus, but still...

Re: Who do you know?
I haven't met anyone on this board in person, however something tells me that I have crossed paths with many of you. Like at the Sydney Buses MAN SL202 tour and the Sydney Bus and Coach Show 2013. etc.
So hopefully I can make some acquaintances in 2014, I'll put that on my belated New Years Resolution list!!
Thanks,
PLI

Re: Who do you know?
I kept my interest of buses well obsession to myself until on Facebook when people I knew saw me commenting, liking or uploading bus pictures. I tried to keep it secret with the Facebook pages and groups BUT if I comment or do something on the groups Facebook says XXXXXXX Commented on this or XXXXXXX Liked this. You can't help it .....Then I just deleted everyone from school, if you want I'm happy to be friends with you on Facebook I'm a friendly young bus enthusiast and always happy to talk Thanks. Some people know me

Re: Who do you know?
Definitely, when you're an A student you can't sit there in English in a dwal thinking about buses and then you're handed out an assignment and the teacher says "get to work now" and you'll be F***ed if you know what to do, plus all my friends who catch the bus to school hate buses...Rclasstramcar wrote:Also, school makes it hard to pursue your transport interests .crazyturbo76 wrote:Don't know anyone either.
