    The pictures are of two friends of mine. The top picture is of Gavin Boardman, he runs Predators Mixed Martial Arts gym in Manchester. The other two images are of Will Burke, who is a coach at Predators.

    I'm glad about that, I thought maybe they were famous people who we all should recognize.

    Is this a forum on self aggrandisement of pathetic machoism or a forum on information and "chit chat" on british-filipino thinking.???

    Nope, I've not deleted any post you made. Anyone can see your childish attack and respond if they wish. I read it just as I was getting ready to leave work, hence my delayed response.

    Though I've no need to respond to little people like you, I shall; to give you the pleasure of being educated today. We all must learn one thing each day!

    Firstly, my avatar goes with my custom title - "The Geeky One". You see it's an image of a video game character called Ezio Auditore da Firenze, I thought it would play up the geeky thing. Which in a way is my attempt at self-deprecation, so I hope you get that now. It's not a hoodie....

    Secondly, the top image is a friend of mine whom I've known for 17 years, the other two is also of a friend I've known for about 8-9 years. They run a Mixed Martial Arts gym in Manchester called Predators (like the name, I came up with it). I was heavily involved with Martial Arts for about 10 years until 2007 when I pretty much came out of it. Recently, I've decided to go back into Martial Arts because it's a healthy way of life, like any physical sporting activity! Not because I want to measure dicks with anyone, I'm 37 years old so I think I'm past that stage in my life. And I've chosen Brazilian Jiu Jitsu because it helps maintain a supple back, due to my back being a bit sore these days.

    Thirdly, I don't know if you've noticed, but this website isn't just about Brit-Fil relationships. There is a fair bit more to it than that.. Has been since day one. In fact, this section is for general photography. So that means, yup - random pictures and discussions based on all things Photography.

    And finally.. Have you read the rules? You might find the last point of interest, because it basically says no bullying or harrassment. Or was that outburst a resignation post? I don't know... Either way, the outcome is the same.

    I might let the odd snarky remark pass me, I'll happily disagree with anyone and it's never an issue. But I'm not going to put up with **** from an old little bastard like you.

    Congratulations, you're banned!

    Bit over the top I feel, the thread is called General Photography after all.

    LOL. I often wonder that myself sometimes, that some folk post after having had one two many. No way of knowing of course but sometimes I think, what was that all about, especially if it is later in the evening, either UK time or Phils time.

    Who knows. I wouldn't have minded so much had it have been a disagreement that escalated, but he just decided to have a pop at me??? That's what Pavee are like I guess:rolleyes:

    Probably a lot of truth in that John, people become a lot more relaxed and loud just like in the local pub.

    That's just reminded me of something; I proposed to my late wife by letter from the Dominican Republic where I was working at the time (full of pop), I never remembered writing it, God what a mistake. I remember reading the letter when I got home and I could barely read my own writing, never looked forward after that LOL Never a truer statement than "beer in wits out".
