I don't use faceache, but I do have an account with a pseudonym, just for gaming and signups. I'm blown if I'm going to maintain a (very thin) veneer of anonymity all over the Internet, then put my life out on that particular website, for everyone to pick apart, warts and all.

I don't why this is but quite often it seems this hobby and Facebook don't mix well together, seems like just about everyday I am witnessing a argument between enthusiasts, usually over nowt, some want ape over being called tramps the other day.

As for the "someone not wanting you there" thing, stay as it will annoy them.


I agree, Facebook is just used for people to spread rubbish around about others in my opinion.

Only reason I restarted being active on the account again was so that I could get to know other Enthusiasts a bit more.

I used to be uptight about my interest, but since I've let it go. It's no different from anyone being open about playing computer games or whatever, they're all hobbies.

Aye, I think its different with ages however, As I'm only 14 and people my age take hobbys like this as " weird " , I will probably be more open about my hobby once I'm a bit older and left school.

Out of all the Social Media's I use, I find Facebook the worst, Everyone uses it to basically spread rubbish about others tbh.

Spread rubbish and cause bother, someone was threatening to report me to the police for verbal abuse a few weeks back, all I said was how embarrassed I was when he shouted my name to me across the bus I got on.

Probably going to get this threat again now for posting this on here.

Yeah, the police would really take him seriously. What a muppet.
It's not going to resolve the problem of being reported for using a pseudonym, but would an alternative of creating a Facebook page work? 

You can create a photographer page or whatever, similar to what Jimmi has, and then you're abiding by Facebook's (at times ridiculous) terms of service.

Here is a cheeky plug for my Facebook page, to give people an idea: https://www.facebook.com/Jimmis-Transpor...500006124/

It's not a bad idea in fairness, you can still receive messages from people if you set it up to do so. One downside though is I am unsure if you would be able to join Facebook Groups or not.

I'd expect nothing less from you Jimmi!  Tongue

You can't join groups as a page or friend request people, but you can like other pages - not individuals.

Got to do a bit of promotion to help get the word out. I've even got Arriva promoting my Flickr now! [emoji1]

Inspirational shot. Top Notch.

It's a ghost sighting. I'm certain of it.

I think the bus may have reached 88mph.

Travelled back to Durham via Consett. Would have been quite scenic if it weren't for the ubiquitous mucky windows!

'Thomas' reminds me so much of Andy Clifford back in the day.

Funny you should mention that. I was looking in that 'Sort out the Metro' group earlier, and he done just that!

What makes that funnier is the image Adrian posted - 'plonker' is a word that never fails to amuse me. I have no idea why.
Hahaha

He's really not fond of you like! [emoji14]


Something that amused me today was my train from Peterborough to Cambridge this morning, it was a CrossCountry - Class 170 with two coaches and it was pretty rammed, I had to stand for the whole of my journey with little space to move which wasn't great but I got through it alright. Anyway when we got to Ely, we really were struggling for space and this woman was shouting at us to all move to let her on but we honestly couldn't do so, with us all shouting back at her saying we couldn't move but she continued, end result was she got left behind and boy she did not look happy and stormed off, the looks on her face were priceless.

At least Corbyn had plenty of space on the floor on his train! [emoji14]
I got sick of waiting to find a 78/78A timetable, so I made my own.

I accidentally cut out grange villa (not that many wish to go there..), but overall impressed with my practical D&T skills. Maybe GNE marketing should employ me, I'm a pioneer like!

He's still at it after all these years? Had a look on the group just for a chuckle at the posts.

Nearly as snappy as one of Davey Bowyer's taglines!

Meant to put this yesterday but was on the X21 going to Bishop Auckland and the bus was hot and stuffy so open the window and some man decides to get up and shut it so the moment he sits back down I open it again, some people don't think of others at all just themselves

Donald Trump dishing out some fake news Big Grin

In a speech at his rally in Florida, he referenced a terror attack in Sweden...which never happened. It appears that he has got Sweden and Sehwan in Pakistan, who have suffered a suicide bombing within the last couple of days, mixed up.
