GOODBYE

You do seem to be very similar people, however:

Adrian's description of himself on flickr: I'm a little over weight but I'm happy with life

NOTRIK's ZooChat profile: 20+ stone and a full loving of life person

Both give 'security' for occupation (unless that's how you know each other? That might make sense).


Still, either it's a coincidence or it's something for the mods to look at - either way it's not necessarily my business but I don't think it's surprising that people are interested given the name similarity as well.

Spelling and grammar are also very similar. :rolleyes:
 
Our jobs did clash on a couple of occassions last year and yes we are both about the same build but I am the gooding looking one with the very deep suntan
Yes the Mods can look into it as I have nothing to hide
As for the spelling part that may be a bit like the same but when you think about it, no one as asked if we are related as yet.
The answer would have to be yes I am his half brother from his fathers first wife Mary Adrian1963 is white and I am of a very deep suntan I know what you think (more leg pulling) but things like this happen.
He is not on a island all he said was he was going away to somewhere with very little internet connection so if we start with Canada and Adrians dream of taking photographs of bears in streets then and living around ice then thats up to him but I can think of spending that sort of money on better things.
He did say you would probally guess but you were starting to get the hint that I knew him better then I was letting on so there's the truth

Everybody happy now
 
Mate, I don't really care. It is, however, plainly clear that the "adrian1963" and "NOTRIK" handles are one and the same person. Namely Adrian Kirton.

I don't know why you felt the need to make up this elaborate tale, but it's rather silly.
 
Time to put this one to bed I think as it's getting seriously weird, but from previous posts there were warning signs.

Who is the other person with the name if you turn my name around as I know no one with that name at all on any other site either
you're adrian's half-brother and you don't know what his last name is? Honestly?

actually he/you/whatever did say he was going to live on an island, on post #11 of this thread:

Many thanks to everyone for thier kind replies just been talking to a friend on another site and he will be joining this site very shortly he will be using the name NOTRIK this is a wierd name to say the least but it suits the bloke hope he recieves the warm welcome and the help I have recieved from you all
Again will be leaving after next Sunday 12th December just to stop the guessing it's for my work I have to leave on to a smallish island that has very little internet connection hope to take thousands of photographs and will be uploading many on my return.

as CGSSwan says, you are plainly the same person and it is just silly coming up with this bizarre story
 
This is getting quite confusing! But I dont understand, why would Adrian actually go through all this, if NOTRIK was the same person?
 
I have viewed many a Zoochat thread which ended up far from the inital subject but this is almost too much to believe.

A user starts a good-bye thread, in which only saying that he'll be going away where there is next to no possibility to communicate. It goes without saying that this got our imagination spinning at the speed of light. No doubt did more than me start thinking of a government-run place called j*** or p*****! :D

It was only after many had responded and sent in greetings that the user saw a reason to note that he would be spending the next year working on a remote island. No doubt would many of us like to get away like that, so why not mention it in the first post. Then a few weeks he had started the thread, he starts a new account and says goodbye to himself after having introduced himself earlier in a most odd way.

Wouldn't this be something like faking your own death so you can read the obituaries to find out what people actually think of you? :p
 
This whole thing has started to remind me of the Zebraduiker/Charly/Tarsius case (and possibly he has more accounts). I wonder how many users here have two accounts and why, although one certain reason would be to have someone to agree with you all the time and back up your (normally unpopular) opinions.

I know many will disagree with us, Baldur, but I think you're spot on mate.
 
This is an excellent Christmas mystery.

Baldur's theory is a good one p- but it's not as if Adrian ever posted anything too controversial. Wasn't it mainly stuff about new births at Dudley and so forth, and then some rather good photos?

How did Detective Pertinax find a link between the usernames Adrian1963 and Notrik?

I kind of admire the energy of people who can do this sort of thing (if indeed this sort of thing has been done).

Curiouser and curiouser.
 
ahem, NOTRIK's photo site....recognise any photos here? ;)
http://www.ephotozine.com/u139380/gallery

if you check NOTRIK's bio on that site it reads
Unemployed at present hoping to start work shortly
Live at home caring for my mother
Unfortunatly I've allowed the garden to get slightly over grown so next year it looks like doing it for my life
Spend at least 1 day every 2 weeks at my local zoo Dudley have had many a great day there
Please visit my flickr page for more zoo animal photographs

his name is given as Adrian Kirton.

I think that's case closed really.

ah well, at least this Adrian didn't post any rubbish like the other one, or Sebbe. Just a very very odd situation here.

Adrian1963 himself gave a link to a photosite where his photos of tigers and other species at Dudley appear- some are credited Adrian Kirton =(?) Notrik.

Several of their site information personal details were virtually identical too (see above).

Both of these gallerys are now gone along with the users on the 2 gallery sites,read into that what you will!!!
How funny. For anyone that missed it, two of the photos in NOTRIK's gallery were on Adrian1963's flickr site, and about ten were in the Zoochat gallery as uploaded by Adrian1963.

It was actually an even easier spot than that (not that I take pleasure in it) because the one flickr account was explicitly linked on here and the 'Notrik' photo gallery.

Am I the only person to whom this outcome was blindingly obvious from post #1, or do I have some sort of Cassandra (or Deanna Troi if you prefer) complex?
