WOP Christmas: Nev's Book!

Christmas is a time for a lot of things....toasting the year, feasting, relaxing next to a cosy fire with a glass of something warming.....and the like.
For others, it's a time to milk the cash cow and get some cash in. Nev is plugging this - his new book from WOP Publishing (£49.99 rrp) .

''The book is a 'celebration' in it's own rights.'' Neville said. ''It's all about my kind of people, the hard working trainspotters up and down the country tirelessly and in all weathers, going out looking for train numbers. What bravery!''

Here is a preview of what to expect should you want to purchase it.....

The cover...nice!

''Nice stance on this fellow, quite casual but at the same time - breathtakingly focused.''

''This chap is missing all the action going on behind him! I bet he kicked himself, she looked a beauty too.''

''Lovely long platform this....must be offering this lucky chap quite the spectacle!''

''Strictly for the foolhardy spotter this one - the risks some of 'em take!''

Nev's New Hobby For 2010: Water Hydrant Spotting.




As the title suggests, this is Neville's new craze - water hydrant spotting! He got into it during a countryside ramble over Christmas and decided to document the types of hydrants and locations across the country.



''To be fair, I've only seen these three, but I am on the look out for many more!'' The goof stuttered. ''I want to get a folio together of all the hydrants in the country - I think the black 'h' on the yellow plaque is a wonderful design and it makes me tingle''.

As ever Nev, you know what you're doing.......
I think World Of Poot fans would like to know when your first video for 2010 is going to be!

Nev makes no comment.

WOP Special: Nev's Pylon Spotting


''I've always been into spotting. Trains can be a bit
mainstream sometimes - even though I love
them to bits! Occasionally though, I do like
to go a little offbeat and I go for a ramble
in the countryside to find some pylons to
snap up in my collection. Look at these
turrets of power!!!!
