Generally speaking, you can tell the difference in photographer. Whole different stance on photogtaphy.

I know Keith (?) - previously discussed on the forum for trespassing at Saltmeadows - likes to take a good ol' lopsided shot to send to Steven. Usually takes Steven a few weeks to upload Keith's shots though (they presumably only meet every once in a while with a memory card swap). Look out for the upcoming lopsided Stockton ones...

Was at Gateshead earlier, in my usual spot across the road from the 58/X66 Stand on the Corner, and the Nexus Station Manager came over and told me off, and said I needed permission to stand there, I replied with the following, basically stating I was on a Public Footpath which is on the Perimeter of the Bus Station, in which he walked away as he said he couldn't be bothered to argue with me.

Not even 30 Seconds later the Below happens, and the Nexus bloke said nothing, this is despite said person almost getting hit by a Orbit Versa and a Coaster Omnicity which swung round the back of a Saltwell Park Streetlite as it entered Gateshead Interchange.

I personally think this is disgusting behaviour, not only by this Enthusiast, but by Nexus also, What if this was Bazza, there would be uproar, as I have said months now. Obviously Nexus are clamping down on certain individuals as and when they see fit, Note I will be sending a Letter to Nexus regarding this. Images Attached Below.

saw that muppet nearly getting taken out.

That will be 4910 soccerbus parked up and 4922 changing drivers behind the Bendi.

That's correct, Not sure on 4922 though - I was hoping he was going come over and introduce himself so I could give him a mouthful of abuse, but he didn't unfortunately.

4922 it was, as I was driving it.

Ah The famous Graeme Palmer. The person who thinks he's always right and forces his views on people. Lives in his own world where rules and other peoples views are always wrong and he will never give up arguing. He's had many an argument with Nexus after being thrown out before and then he goes home with nothing better to do than write complaint letters to anyone who has "not complied" with him that day. Perhaps the nexus staff couldn't be bothered with an ear chewing.

I see, Don't think I took a photo of 4922 Today, but you would of seen me standing on the corner as you left Gateshead Interchange

That wouldn't be the same person who I blocked on Facebook the other day as I needed a peaceful week without any arguments or 'heated debates' due to some issues aside from the hobby?

Ah, must be. Shame you still can't get away from posts being made about you even when you do block a few enthusiasts, as people still end up showing you the screenshots! At least I'm now aware of my nickname amongst enthusiasts - 'tis a shame none of them have been able to confront me about any issues they have with me? Instead, they choose to do it behind my back. Be right back, I'm going to go back to looking like I've been 'shit out of 1D arse' and upload some of my 'wank' photographs.

See attached for the latest one. Amazing how people somehow manage to get involved, even if they weren't blocked or even if I've never had an issue with them!


To relate this to Adam's post, is it any wonder I come out with this 'claptrap' when there are enthusiasts such as the one Adam photographed, putting themselves at risk?

I deleted him ages ago.. couldn't be arsed with him, this is the reason i don't go out taking pictures and that because everyone is soooo jealous of each other its ridiculous

Do we know who that is anyway? The worst thing is though, if anything happened to him i.e. he is used as a bowling pin by a bus, then he would probably try to file a compo claim against Nexus and the Bus Company.

Nexus really need to crack down on this before someone is hurt or god forbid, killed.

(15 Mar 2014, 7:23 pm)Michael wrote I deleted him ages ago.. couldn't be arsed with him, this is the reason i don't go out taking pictures and that because everyone is soooo jealous of each other its ridiculous

I've not had an issue with him recently, but know I have had issues about him making comments in the past. I've frequently seen Graeme mocking Bazza, and if I had seen a post whereby he was doing just that over the past few days, I would have flipped. It's the prime reason why I needed to block him on Facebook when taking a break from the bus scene (arguably the thing which causes me the most stress, if I'm honest!) for a few days to clear my mind. Blocked a few other people because I know they don't appreciate being told that what they've posted is untrue, and they would have most likely started an argument of sorts if I had corrected them on the public domain.

We don't know for sure, but R838 PRG seems to think it was Graeme Palmer (you may be unfamiliar with him if you're not on all of the Facebook groups for bus enthusiasts).
I actually thought R838 PRG was Graeme Palmer and the post he made above was to see what the reaction would be from us.
This is further backed up by a status which Graeme has just made, which has since been passed on to me:

Some simpletons really do need to flush themselves down a bog instead of turning a hobby into an hysterical soap opera of complete rearrangements of reality.

In your screen print Adam curious to what's in your other good sites bookmarks lol

I don't know the guy, but it's pratts like that who spoil it for everyone. It's no wonder Nexus don't want photography in their bus stations when people go on like that.

Just been reading through the Facebook Posts, and this Graeme Palmer sounds like a right "C***" to me like, The fact he said your photos were Over Saturated is an absolute Joke, Unlike him who goes as far as Haymarket/Gateshead to take "Piss Poor Quality Photos" that no one even views on Flickr is rather Funny, Compared to you Daniel, where you go that extra mile and go to random Places across the Region and further afield to take Photos in some wonderful picturesque locations, don't let dickheads like him get you down, move on and enjoy the Hobby you love so much and dedicate quite a lot of time and effort to on a Daily Basis.

Cheers Adam - quite a few people have said the same to me over the past few days and have been really supportive. Definitely what I've needed this week, especially with family dramas. Wasn't far off packing in the hobby for good, and I guess I probably would have if I didn't block people on Facebook to reduce the risk of any potential arguments.

After a week of ups and downs (with the downs being rather scary and upsetting indeed), I can confirm that I'm an uncle to a lad called Joshua though!

I hope you don't ever pack in this lovely little hobby of ours, I don't know what has been hapenning lately but don't let any little two-bob wankstain put you off...

i do that half the time now anyways i have a joke with a few of them Julie, Jamie, William, Paul, Mick and Dean plus a few others the only one i do not get along with is David he can be rude e.g. other day when i was talking to a mate at Park Lane David came over and attempted to talk to me when i was talking to a mate who i known around the same time as my good old pal anth yet when i talk to my mate paul he never bothers me plus on that day i was heading back home but made sure my good old mate was on the bus he was on X35 while i was enroute to 9 to catch my 27 as i was in a rush to get back for Corrie on ITV1 to see the antics of Peter Barlow cheating again if i see any enthusiasts i do not like i try to avoid them for as long as possible one time when i was at Haymarket near that big issue guy the guy thought i was taking photos inside the bus station when i was about to have food but then i said to him this "Do Not Worry when my target comes in i will head to the safest area as possible" he replied "Ok as long as were both happy" but me and him get along anyways last time i saw him he was helping out in Park Lane i was passing by on the coach heading to London to see my beloved football club play in the capital one cup final Manchester City Vs Sunderland which took place the next day at Wembley

I see that 'full stops' are not on the agenda for this post either.
