msmouse Posted November 22, 2004 Share Posted November 22, 2004 Originally posted by coopster1974 Whilst surfing (cant remember if it was on the above site) I found a great little pressie - buy a piece of land in Scotland and get a certificate etc confirming that my good lady will be a Laird of Glencairn. It will probably only be enough land to fit on foot on but it sounds impressive. Sounds like a complete waste of money to me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I never said how much it cost - what you have done is called "jumping the gun". Would you feel the same if I told you it only cost 20 pence? Possibly not. BTW its more than 20 pence but what price originality? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't buy the plot of land unless it IS only 20p. It's a really novel idea, but a bit useless. I'm trying to be constructive. However, I'm sure that whatever you buy, providing you show that you've put some thought into it (which you obviously ARE doing), she will love it. Ooooh, and personally, I think £150 is VERY generous of you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coopster1974 Posted November 22, 2004 Author Share Posted November 22, 2004 See msmouse - thats the way to respond. Cheers BG Negative, unhelpful and quite frankly useless oneliners get you nowhere!! BTW - this is a legal title and genuinely entitles the owner to use Laird or Lady. It can even be left in your will. And yes, as a land owner of Glencaird you can visit the estate. For £22 I not going to argue! And it certainly beats a bottle of JPG which seems to have been the staple purchase for the last 10 years! Although I will probably get one anyway........ Now all I have to do is decide where to take her for a weekend away - I think she is expecting somewhere warmish, barcelona perhaps. I however am tempted by Centre Parcs - great place to go in the winter, nice walks through the woods, late night outdoor swimming, cuddling up in front of a log fire. I've told her I'll only tell her where we're going on the day we go so I have to judge this one right. Ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it's blummin' expensive (both to fly there/stay there/eat and drink etc). I've just got back from Prague and it was cheap to book the flights and stay there. The downside is that it's gonna be cold now, and the people are a bit frosty too. But it is just spectacular to look round (if by any chance you decide this, let me know and I'll let you know where we stopped/who we flew with etc). BUT! I'm loving the log fire idea! Now THAT'S romance! She'll be putty in yer hands, mate! Or a Scotish log cabin near a loch! Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saxon76tr Posted November 22, 2004 Share Posted November 22, 2004 Try something your other half will not expect (clothes, perfume etc). I suggest a helicopter flight over Derbyshire. I did this the other xmas and got some real brownie points. I booked with "Dragon" flights who were based at sheffield airport. good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigPie Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 My gf and I have a lot of fun with ours - got them from http://www.highlandtitles.com - and it was only £29.99. I changed my driving license to Lord John but not my credit card. I have had some free upgrades on flights so it cant be all bad:hihi: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
