"Pokemon GO"? And people think trains are weird?

It's fun and is something that truly appeals to all ages. Can't see a problem with it myself.

Now off to find a Squirtle! 

HOW old are you?

There's no irony whatsoever in being told to grow up on a model train forum! 

With a small, still be-nappied toddler in the house, I have no problem finding squirtles.

Nor do I and I'm 62

Still a bairn yourself, then.

I find squirties in the middle of a cold Aussie winter night an inconvenience to say the least.

... And then there are the Redbacks (to add to the 'in'convenience)

I decided a long time ago, never to disrespect anyone because of their interests, after a group of disabled kids turned up at the Hobbycraft store where I was manager.  Just to see the look on their faces was amazing!

So if people want to look for Pokemons, why not?  Shame when I tell them I enjoy watching trains and building model railways, they don't show me the same courtesy in a lot of instances.

I'm really enjoying Pokemon Go, despite being 47 and having to keep asking the youngsters at work what's going on!  The original nineties cartoon and card trading game didn't do it for me at all but this game just works and is a great melding of various smartphone technologies, such as GPS mapping and augmented reality (using the camera to project the Pokemon into the real world).

It's fun, free and takes some of boredom out of the bus ride to work (bike's been nicked  ).
