I am not nor do I want to be in "Bazza's Fraternity", I do not affiliate with people like that and I was intending to stay until it got boring, which was straight away. But I had spent an hour on a very hot bus so I didn't want to go straight home.
I'm sick and tired of being seen as a "bus spotter", which I'm worried that most members of the forum may see me as due to the people who I'm friends with as nobody else has wanted to know me.
That'll be my one and only rant of the day, as I've had no sleep over it.

I used to be in a little circle of me, Bazza and Davie, however, I decided that I was going to move on and try and do my own thing. Obviously, when I'm out and about I will occasionally be with the likes of Bazza but I won't forcefully go out and about with anyone. I much prefer to go my own way now.
With the second point, I'm sure most people on the forum see me in this way also. Especially with Bazza's obsessive use of the word "Bus Spotter". Now to me, a bus spotter is someone that stands around with pen and notepad writing down fleet numbers etc. I certainly am not that, and that is another reason why I now prefer to do my own thing.
I have met many more fantastic people since I joined this forum, such as Marcus, Jack, Sid, You, Adrian and many more. And for that reason, that's why I no longer see myself as in "Bazza's Fraternity" as Malarkey (meaningless talk; nonsense) calls it.
Parts of that I agree with...
I agree about the use of 'bus spotter' I hate it too, but you turn up to a bus event, you take photos of buses, to most your seen as just that...I won't call you a bus spotter, but to most that is what you are...If you don't want to be associated with 'Bus Spotting' then it is simple, don't turn up to bus events.
Oh and there is no need to turn on Bazza like that...thata my tuppence worth
