Hi all, new here, but in used condition. Living in Istanbul doing a bit of this and a bit of that. Here for the long term, maybe.

Can you do a better intro than that? You sound like a used car salesman. No insult intended, but if you want to talk to peeps, then give a little.

Maybe, Jonny, that's the perfect introduction? An introduction to fall in love with. Award-worthy. Welcome, Snob, I fell in love with you.

You've met RSA already I see Welcome

Snob I could understand. But The Snob? How do you justify that? Isn't that a little .... er ....

Ok then.

Jonny - I'm dashingly handsome, hugely intelligent, massively endowed, an artist of renown, a lover of great repute, a philosopher of all things and a bloke. If I were to sell used cars, they would be of a certain vintage, silver, and have been driven by a Mr. Bond (Scottish of course). I am here in the city of Istanbul to learn about water and electricity shortages and to expand my mind, if that's possible. To sum up I would like to paraphrase my muse, Mr. Oscar Wilde, "Life is far too important a thing ever to talk seriously about". Which should, I hope, excuse my sense of self-importance. I'm here on behalf of an international company, to look into whether they should open an office in Turkey. I'm in the middle of age, between 6'0" and 6'3", depending on my stoop, I like food....copious amounts of food, and I enjoy slothfulness. I drive very badly, so I'll fit in very well here, I drink beer by the barrel, dress to the left, and talk utter nonsense during every waking moment.

Utabe - What can I say? Of course you did, you clever girl.

Bodrum Chic - Who is RSA? Is he also a long-term snob?

Spine - A snob is simply someone who thinks they are better, The Snob, knows it.

It turns out I made the right choice. Of course. I'm so fabulous.

Woweee!
These 2 introductions collectively must be entered in the Best EiT Introduction award ---Starman take note!

Welcome, whoever you are regardless of whichever parts of the said intro. are true!!

Hi Snob,

Welcome to EIT. Great mission to study of Water and Electricity shortages. Dont forget to read the Thames Water and Balfour Beatty sad stories.

See what a little gentle coaxing can elicit? A standing ovation to that man!

ditto Uta re award

As RSA has only just become of age, I'm not sure he's old enough to be considered a 'long-term' snob and I'll leave you to make your own decision when you inevitably meet him. I was actually referring to the fact that you said you were in used condition and the reason for that will also become obvious in time.
This is a good place to start

Mr. Snob,

Enjoyed the colorful intro. Welcome to the community and good luck with your study of the water and electricity (or lack of). You have your work cut out for you.

Hi Snob,

Welcome to forum

Hi Snob, one of too many.

Have fun.

Dear The Snob

Eloquent and to the point.

People like you are sorely needed in Istanbul.

Welcome
