Mac Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 I saw this on a YouTube subscription I take for gadget reviews. To test out a mobile device(A GooseBerry?) the reviewer takes an 11hour train journey from Sidney to Melbourne. For privacy; he buys out the three seat day- cabin in an empty carriage. He gets progressively bored with the journey until at point 13.18 minutes into the clip; he goes into a rant about Train Nerds! ... I thought it was both very funny and annoying. Have a look and see what you think. Mac. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
EddieB Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 Don't get the funny, just rather annoying. Ignoring any slight towards train videos on Youtube (we're used to inane comments), what a tiresome, tedious individual. I guess he did everyone else on the train a great favour by keeping out of their way. Fancy listening to his boring monologues for eleven hours. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold BoD Posted September 1, 2011 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 1, 2011 If you found it annoying why not just ignore it rather than post in somwhere where there us a good chance that it might annoy others too? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mac Posted September 1, 2011 Author Share Posted September 1, 2011 If you found it annoying why not just ignore it rather than post in somwhere where there us a good chance that it might annoy others too? BoD. Because when you examine his rant, you'll see he condemns himself out of his own mouth. Mac. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gordon s Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 Any reason for the large, bold font, Mac? Seems like you are shouting at us.... 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Max Stafford Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 Nah, his eyes are just gubbed because all the lighting in his gaff has energy saving bulbs. It's just so he can see what he's writing! Dave Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least he wasn't 'playing with his own gadget', which might well have totally different connetations!!

The reason for the bold large font is because I'm half blind...Sorry; but normal font looks like mouse scratchings to me. Mac. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

(PS where has the basic smiling smiley gone, I can't seem to find it on the selection? Belsay. Before you shoot the boy down in flames:he does come out with some good reviews (notably about a camcorder I'm looking to buy). Unfortunately he seems to hold some odd views about certain groups of people. Maybe he's a closet bus enthusiast and that's why he hates train nerds...though I've never heard this phrase used in the UK before. Must be an Australian thing. Mac.

Belsay Lad Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 Hi Mac I must admit that my post was intended in a funny (or maybe more appropriately 'smutty') response to Kenton's post, as regards my reference to trying to find a real smiley. Please don't take any offence as it wasn't intended. I have to admit that I am a tram fan but as I stay in Edinburgh need I say more other than I am keeping a very low profile... But more seriously I didn't take your use of a large font as shouting. Is that not using capitals throughout a major section/or all of a email/post? I have a close friend who has sight problems and uses a similar font in her online communications so suspected that this might be the case with yourself. Kind regards Eddie (aka Belsay Lad) 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenton Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 Hi Mac, try pressing the Ctrl key and the + key together - it makes the font bigger - I have to do it at least twice to make this display readable and as for the feint grey and blue fonts used for some of the buttons - :( someone looking for the real smiley ? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mac Posted September 1, 2011 Author Share Posted September 1, 2011 Gordon,Eddie and Kenton. No offence taken and thanks for the tip about making the font larger: I'll have to take a note of that. My monitor is set up for 1920x1200 resolution;so I imagine to someone reading my messages on a smaller screen, it must look like Gigantor typed it. I'm thinking about replacing my PC with a laptop next year, but I'll keep the 24" monitor as it's great for displaying images. I'm off to Beamish tomorrow to see what their special show is like. I'll try to put some photo's up at the weekend. Mac. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
