Supras Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 Bollocks. What in Cyprus?Are you insane? No, I'm not saying Cyprus is a horrible place, but most of Nicosia certainly is. Miles worse than Glasgow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supras Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 In what respect? High crime rate, poor housing, poor public transport, poor roads, poor public services, and it is a city inhabited by two warring states. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vikingTON Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 High crime rate, poor housing, poor public transport, poor roads, poor public services, and it is a city inhabited by two warring states. Incorrect in the sense of them being at war as such. http://www.chicagotribune.com/topic/sns-eu...1,7545870.story The Greek-dominated Cypriot government, which holds most of the island, reported just one homicide on the Greek side of the capital in the three years ending in December 1999, and just 11 homicides on the Greek side of the island. (Statistics for the Turkish side were unavailable.) By the numbers, that makes Greek-controlled Nicosia and Cyprus the least homicidal capital and country among all 32 nations in the British Home Office's study. Unless things have drastically changed in 7 years, then the evidence directly contradicts your view. That rate is lower than Berne, never mind Glasgow. Cypriot trunk road infrastructure is swift and far more efficiently constructed than certain Glasgow-area developments, ie the Auchenkilns junction/ continual M8 repairs. Conclusion: you're talking utter pish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vikingTON Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 But they don't have adequate fucking flooring!!!! The only unsanitary urban problem in Cyprus is as Ron points out the same toilet issues of other countries - Nicosians clearly hold a standard of living higher than fucking Shettleston and frankly, I doubt Supras has actually witnessed the sort of deprivation and general shiteholiness of Glasgow East, Greenock East or hell, even in Smackville itself. When you consider Cyprus has entry to the EU you'd think if Supras was correct there'd be a massed horde of young Cypriots aiming to release themselves from utter waste in the glorious wealth of Glasgow: I'm looking but I'm not seeing it.

djn Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 Was one of the council's secret aims to improve flooring in the area? Okay, you're now poorer than before, and your life expectancy is down, but at least you've got a nice floor. Things can only get better? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh aye and their flooring is pish. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-adv/speci...s/article6.html Despite this scar of division, Cyprus is one of the safest countries in the world, with an extremely low crime rate, encouraging tourists and businessmen to visit without They are at a state of ceasefire. Cypriot roads are no worse than those down my street never mind Glasgow East. They have flooring. And money. And jobs. You're floundering. Edit edit: WTF with the font?
