Weird! That very film is playing right now on Channel 4 (UK). Trainspotter is an amusing derogatory term used to describe people who are more interested in the nuances and details of said pastime than the actual music itself- obsessions with labels, original pressings. catalogue numbers ad finitum. It comes from the act of "Trainspotting"- an actual hobby where train enthusiasts stand in train stations and record the numbers of different trains and their types and compare notes. I think most of us on the 313 could be described as trainspotters at one time or another :) Jason On 18 Jan 2004, at 23:27, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > Where did the term "trainspotting come from? > I know there was a film - which I didn't see. > What does it mean? >
