Maybe Magic's the best person to ask about this, but is it any good shopping wise? Is it worth the trip up, or is it worth going to somewhere like Bluewater?

Advise please!! Ta.

I thought it had got knocked down....on checking, it was then rebuilt.

 I recall going to an away game at Fellows Park in 66, as a youth, and going to the brand spanking new Bull Ring....which was of course state of the art 60's brutalist architecture.

 Quite exciting for Swindon boy.....this was a time when buying  a pair of Levi's was not possible in Swindon..

 We got beat 5-0...3 down in 15 minutes, some things don't change.

Have a look on there. One of my friends went earlier in the year and she thought it was good; that's all I know though.

I went there last year and thought it was ok, the gf just said she thinks its good and she's more of an expert than me.

Im off to Cribbs Causeway on Saturday to spend my nice little bonus.  8)

See I don't rate Cribbs Causeway. I prefer Bath, but its a nightmare for parking and not undercover!  :x

to be honest i think the bullring is ace. it is massive and is full of nearlly every shop you need.
some top stores in there for clothes too.

much better than what it was years ago and the rest of the centre has improved 300% compared to what it was like 15 years ago and it's still improving

well worth the trip

Cheers mate- knew you wouldn't let me down! What's it like driving to? Probably be on a friday i go.

if it's during the day you wont have a problem.

if your coming from swindon get off at J4 of M5 and head North up the A38(Bristol Road).
that road will take ou straight into the centre and signs for the Bullring will be everywhere.

Might be worth heading over to the Mail Box for some designer shops and a few nice resturants for lunch etc. Only a 10 min walk away.

This is such a girly thread :soapy tit wank: oh,is this a good place to go shopping.
[sigh]Where have all the real men gone :wink:

:D  I was thinking the same thing Larwood. Men being intouch with their feminine side is not a bad thing though.

Nowt wrong with wanting to get some decent clothes!  :fag:

so real men don't go shopping then???!!!
i'm not a real man then. oops :roll:

What is a 'real man' anyway...?

The only time I've been shopping in Birmingham was at the NEC fashion weekend. I must go shopping there properly one day. Although I tend to do mine in either Bath or Bristol. Bristols very good for shopping. I got tonnes of bargains in primarks the other weekend  :)

mybe larwood could answer this one

I personally think the Trafford Centre is streets ahead.........ace places to eat for lunch too  8)

not been there yet but have been meaning too.
my mate here at work says it's 3 times bigger than the new bullring.
just need some money to go now

I would go to The Centre at Milton Keynes - easy parking and good shops all under cover

Same as ! Went there when I went to see United V Albion this season. Full rack of ribs and wine for lunch!  Lovely!  :mrgreen: Any shopping centre with an American grill gets my vote!

Milton Keynes i like.
i always used to go there for the christmas displays when i lived in Oxfordshire.

i'm quite lucky as i have the Merry Hill 2 mins up the road from me which has most shops i need

Bull ring is ace, you need a map tho or you'll get lost!!!

Why do the Dudley locals call it Merry Hell?  Is it good or crap?

That should appease any bloke you decide to drag shopping! You're sorted!

basically it's because of the trouble it causes with congestion.
The centre/shops etc are all excellent it's just getting a parking space and then trying to get out of the place.

over the past couple of years they have added new signals and parking but it's still a nightmere to get out of. Advice is to stay away at christmas too. everywhere grounds to a halt.

glad i can walk there

Like Cribbs Causeway - I went there once and sat for 2 hrs in a jam and tryin to find a parking space.  Fucking terrible place - never again

Cribbs is a bit crap, all expensive shops really and I have an eye for a bargain  8)

Main city bristol is better as is broadmeads.

My you lot are a bit sensitive today,i was only taking the mick :-))(

Fucking queers.

Shocking :|

:D  Usually men hate shopping - not saying thats a agood thing cos its not. Well some of the ones I know do. They hate being dragged around shops by their girlfriends and either get their mum or their girlfriend to buy their clothes for them which is not good. Lazy.

I bought soem tomato plants today.

REAL MAN shopping at its finest 8)

If anyone was to see my jumper today, i wouldn't be able to defend being called a queer. What was i thinking?  :|

Is it pink ? Some men can get away with wearing pink :D

I've got a pink polo shirt on today  :gay:

It's worse than pink.

C'Mon I don't get lost!

The Trafford centre's a possibility but a bit far just for the day.

Only if they are Gay  :wink:

Luminous(sp) Green ?

PVC?  :D

Thats cause you a real man :)


Be careful Birdy,the blokes are a bit sensitive today :wink:

What about Beckham? He could wear a bin liner and still look nice  :D

Time of the month larwood that is why. Losers



He would be better wearing nothing

Agreed.ooooh hot flush hot flush.

Lemon yellow?

Floral?  Knitted by Granny Blackcurrant?

It's white. But with alternating stripes. Like this:

White
Purple
White
Lime green
White
Dark green
White
Royal blue
white
Turquoise
White

Orange
White

It's like some sort of futuristic toothpaste. Ace  8)

you're a bit young for the menopause aren't you?

Real men don't know what 'Turquoise" is  :fag:

 :mrgreen:

You may have a point... i felt so camp yesterday, the only solution was to go home eat a steak and ale pie, wash it down with a Stella, the mosey on out for beers and ho's. Well, being rejected by ho's, anyway...
