Hi Colombo express!

Weldone, really proud of you, Keep it up!

I'd rather see pics you took, not professional ones :)

Columbo -  Welcome to the forum!  Thank you for the great pics (even if they weren't yours!  :whistle:

turboking71 - I just looked at your profile.  Are you Saudi or Sir Lankan?  Im confused!  :huh:

thanx turboking and caf....

hey allicat...am not a professional photographer

Colombo, I know you're not a pro but your pics would reflect the real sri lanka as seen through your eyes.

I'd like that better than professional pics, which I can see simply by googling images.

In other words, I'd be interested in seeing your Sri Lanka :)

Here are some of MY pics taken on vacation in Sri Lanka in recent times

Stick to the topic?  we always have 'side banter' here--it's part of the fun.  But you're new here and maybe aren't aware of this.

As for pics of my country, I'm American.  I feel no need to post pics of the States.

I now humbly excuse myself from this thread.  Goodbye.

I won't say you are a 'typical Sri Lankan' because most Sri Lankans are not rude.

As for posting pics of the States... what? You want me to waste bandwidth with pictures of the Grand Canyon?  The Statue of Liberty?  The Lincoln Memorial? 

I'm not here to boast about the States.  If that makes me a 'typical American' (something you try to use to shame me??), then I'm proud to say I AM one.

If you want any piccies of the UK look up 'PicciesofUK.co.uk' maybe.:lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:

Well you were picking on my fellow sri lankan forumer and making fun of him I simply told you to stick to the topic so that we can exchange knowledge on holiday spots.You are the one who gave me a rude answer to that you can read through the thread and see it for yourself.

I have no interest in countinuing this debate either with you or anybody else who wants to play SUPERMAN:D.

This summer is the hottest for SURE

The heat is affecting his sense of humour.

Thanks for the support, Dave.  That was my take on it, too (assuming he'd ever had one, and I think that might be a big assumption is this case).

BTW, can finally see the pic--love it!! :)
