Hi team, it's me! 
Before I go into my buffoonery, I need to talk seriously.
Firstly, I apologise to English Bob, Toad, SleJ, Kombi, Peto, and all mods.
Next, I apologise to ST.
Then I apologise to all other photographers here who try to improve, progress and share.
Then I cheer and hoot for the folks who supported me with e-mails and convoluted message systems. Thanks you lot!!!
Now, about Rufus. :|
Toad has said, in the past, (as have others), that I "hide" behind the Rufus character.
I'm sorry if it seems this way, but it isnt meant to.
This character is supposed to be funny. A glove-puppet-like, larger than life caricature.
Why? Because, I believe, he's more amusing and interesting than I. That's all.
In future, anyone wishing to override the character can pm / e-mail me, Laurence.
Rufus has existed a long time......... He founded a huge UK bikers club which still has him as an honarary member, and established their web-prescence too.
Laurence, conversly, is an ex psychiatric nurse, composer, biker, who burnt out on too much sickness, death and pressure. That's how Rufus came to be. He was the opposite. A small, furry bundle of gruffness and loonacy!
So, here I am. If anyone wants to speak privately to me, I will certainly listen and 99.999% am likely to apologise.
Mates again?????????
