Weirdos on station platforms

Am currently on the Chiltern line into London and there are beardy weirdys at each station we're calling at with camcorders on tripods. I've only seen one at each station, so I assume it's not some special locomotive passing through.

Any ideas?

Bearded, you say?

Clearly, Scottish spies preparing for the invasion, come the Yes vote. Did they smell of haggis?

Also possibly a pejorative (might have been "faster" ) muttered at 28 seconds?

I can recommend Dear old Blasters recordings
Seen him several times, and met him twice, even got an invite to one of his clay pigeon shoots amongst other activities!!

When i got the van it was black and rust, and i had some two shades of brown paint that i was doing the fences with. mixed them together to keep the weather out and it came out that horrible dog st colour. They called it 'the flying ste' funny part was i got a new volvo last year that was exactly the same colour, only they called that bugger safari yellow. must be something to do with the price..

And earlier on in this sory about the fellow blaster who dropped a track rod end and blew himself up

'Apparently they found his ringpiece 60yds away with his shoelace threaded through it. This may sound funny to you but as one bloke pointed out, 'How would you like your left boot shoved up your arse at 400 miles a second?'

Grown men cry at his stories and i will guarentee your cheeks will ache after hearing them

Get out and keep this guys memory alive

...regrettably, some members of the generation that followed me do not find him funny at all.

Which is quite perplexing...how can one not be moved by the blowing up of a cesspit and the dumping of its contents on an Italian downwind...?

Then it took off
Straight up
Height of Blackpool Tower
Then it mushroomed
Then the wind caught it
Then this bugger starts to run
You cannot run across a field at 30mph with clogs on
We lost him
In a black haze...

Oh, blimey, must stop before I bust my hernia again...
