    i got about 10 kudos from some random Asian guy a while back (email notification). By the time I got around to actually logging on to see who it was he'd be banned / deleted.

    I have a few lads follow me from the US, brazil and the like.

    Some lads might have thousands of followers and are kudo sluts. They give you one and expect one back. Not all are like that. I asked the US lad for advice on a recent trip to San Fran and there would be back and forth from time to time.

    Plenty of Irish lads follow me who I havent met. Most of them come from here

    Some could be accidental. I've given kudos to one or two people that way. They must think I'm a weirdo but I would have been looking at a ride someone did and end up looking at who was with them and something in their profile might catch my eye and by the time I'm finished clicking different things I end up accidentally giving so random guy from America kudos :o:o

    I was blonde then though. Doesn't happen now I'm a brunette :D

    Sorry guys.

    I was just looking for "kudos" in google images, came across this... I guess its one of those days when my sense of humour fails in a catasthrophic way.

    Again, apologies.

    One of my followers seems to have some sort of auto-kudos set up. No matter what time I upload an activity, I get a kudos immediately from him. :confused:
