What    does    Trainspotting    actually    mean?

"Trainspotting" is a very popular 
hobby in Great Britian. Trainspotters
spend their days by the train tracks
writing down all the trains that pass
by, hoping to know all of the trains 
in the country, or at least all of the
trains that follow a certain route.

Why    Would    Irvine    Welsh    Name    his    Book    After    Trainspotting?

Irvine Welsh named his book "Trainspotting" 
because he thought that his characters'
obsession with heroin was similar to the
obsession of trains by the Trainspotters.

You   Decide!

What do you think would be a cool
name for this book/movie?  It's 
alright if you've only seen the 
movie or only read the book. It
doesn't matter.  E-mail me at
Buffy3002@aol.com
with your ideas and I'll paste them 
right here on this page with your
e-mail address or name if you give
it to me!  Have fun and GOOD LUCK!
