Hello I'm from Glasgow Scotland

SJL71 · 1st October 2007, 20:35

I am getting my used Civic 2.2 EX in 7 days time - cannot wait.

I am trading in an expensive 4x4 for a car that provides style, performance and economy.

I thoroughly enjoyed the test drive of civic at the dealership and despite reading some recent reviews that suspension, tyre choice and civic model chosen may affect overall enjoyment.

Look forward to enjoying the Civic in due course.

Best wishes to all Civic owners.

Ps Apologies if I haven't posted this message correctly as this is the first forum group that I have joined.

You've posted it fine SJL

and also made a fine choice of car - nice one!

Welcome aboard

lobey dosser · 2nd October 2007, 15:32

Welcome, SJL.
You've picked a fine car and live in fine town.
I'm sure you'll enjoy using the one in the other.

Does the "71" refer to anything in particular?

SJL71 · 2nd October 2007, 19:01

Many thanks for the best wishes and yes Glasgow is not a bad town to live in.

Kind regards

SJL

Welcome SJL,

good to have yet another scotsman on the forum ( there are quite a few of us now)

However I will have a wee moan at you - you say you are trading in a 4x4 against your newish civic - which to me sounds like you never needed the 4x4 in the first place or you would be trading it in for a CR-V

Hmmm what do you have to say for yourself

( ah I'm just teasing - you will love your civic when you get her and probably have a laugh on here aswell)

is Glasgow not a city like Stirling and Dunblane - only bigger

lobey dosser · 3rd October 2007, 00:29

Of course it is - it's just typical Glasgow understatement.

PS Dunblane is - Stirling isn't.

(unless they've slipped in a cathedral recently, without telling me)

Time to check your facts LD Stirling is a City just as Inverness is a city
Stirling was given City Status a few years back - infact (I would need to check this) but it may even still hold the title of Scotlands newest city !!!!

lobey dosser · 5th October 2007, 21:47

Well - that was news to me.
I checked the Toon Cooncil (sorry, CITY Cooncils's) web site and they say it was granted in 2002. I'd heard about Inverness and Brighton, but not Stirling.

Still don't think you can just suddenly MAKE somewhere a city (even if it's Lizzie the two (one to us) that says so).
A proper city is large (>250,000 inhabitants, maybe) with a centre, suburbs, industry and more than one railway station or football club!

It's getting like America where every one-horse town calls itself a "city"!

Also, traditionally, a city must have a cathedral - hence Dunblane, Brechin and Elgin are cities.

Er, ....just ignore the bit above about the railway station and footie club thing, will you?

Brodick · 5th October 2007, 23:28

Well shame on you - you should have known that

Just watch your step the next time. Cheek calling my birthplace a town
hummphhh

Stirling (it might only have one railway station but it also has a castle !!!!)is an important City as is Dunblane

next thing you will be telling me you support Falkirk or Celtic

lobey dosser · 8th October 2007, 00:13

That last comment is well below the belt.
I've nothing against Falkirk F.C., but just 'cause you've got a castle (and a bloody good one, I must admit) doesn't give you the right to use the ultimate insult of calling me an Old Firm supporter!

I follow the Great Glasgow Alternative, whisper it .... Partick Thistle.

Not an easy task these days, I must admit.

Still - somebody's got to.

PS we may manage to whip the Binos on the 20th - but i doubt it.

Brodick · 8th October 2007, 00:21

Ha-ha

I'm not saying who I support now ( although it isn't Stirling Albion, Falkirk,
or Celtic)

ante00 · 8th October 2007, 11:51

welcome to forum.....and hope you'll see soon your new car...

It's Alloa, isn't it?
Go on - I hope it's Alloa

... or The Shire

....or Stennie
anything but the other Ugly Sister!

Support a local football club - you'll feel better for it.

Brodick · 9th October 2007, 11:39

This may come as a shock

so sit down first

comfy - good

it's

it's Rangers

(while I do support them I haven't been to a
game for a good - just can't bring myself to support
albion, falkirk, stennie, st J, Gretna the list goes on

10 years

lobey dosser · 11th October 2007, 23:46

No shock, Brodick, I'd worked it out. - just disappointment.

As we say over at the Jags forum -
The Old Firm - two cheeks of the same arse !
