Broadmead/Tha Mall - which is best?

bristol_citizen said:
Not heard it. Any good?

Ha! Ha! Ha! Excellent.

Anyway, Galleries or Broadmead which is best? Is that a joke question? They are broadly identical. Swindon or Cheltenham city centre, which is best? Can you really tell the difference?

Same shops, Same joke wages. Same sarcy jumped up security. Same escalators, same flooring, same goods. Same old.

They are both very boring restrictive places to be.

I'll chose broadmead to do some of my christmas shopping in because I haven't got a car and broadmead is more accessible, and after going shopping I can go into St. Pauls to visit a few mates. Which will be the only fun part of the whole stuffy, over-crowded migraine inducing venture.
 
Why not do the Xmas shopping online? I did all mine that way last year and it was so much more stress free.

you do realise that bristol_citizen was one of the people fighting to keep daycare services open in bristol following council cutbacks, whereas za... no, never mind.

yes, he was one of the people supporting segregated services.... thanks for reminding everyone... lovely to see his wit & wisdom back to entertain us all...
 
Zaskar and co, fuck off this thead. :mad:

And whilst you are at it, stop sending PMs to people a) accusing them of things they didn't do and b) threatening to come and find them 'in person'.
 
Hang on Geri, Zaskar made a totally benign post and was then attacked for no reason. Totally uncalled for, and its gettng really dull.

If you guys don't want to talk with Zaskar or anyone else for that matter, then act like adults and ignore him/them/us/whoever.

This isn't 'your' own personal forum. If you want to have idle chat away from people you don't like then perhaps set up a IRC chat room, its very simple.

I bloody well am next year...town was an absolute nightmare today and has been for the past few weeks.

And I hate Cribbs.
 
I find the mall so unwelcoming to anyone who doesnt fit in with the usual happy shopper type....

As for the PM to BA, well it was a respone to persistent irrelevant 'death' threats that actually upset someone close to me who doesnt understand the belligerance and generally low IQ and poor manners of the board. The PUBLIC board that is. I encourage the few wingers above to use the ignore function.

As for the PMs, well same applies, just dont read em. All I did was say I was going to pop round and get an interview with the brave mr apron, I mean after all he is soooo keen to get his views into every thread, however irrelevant i thought he might appreciate the chance of reaching a wider public in person..... Seems he has gone all bashfull on us.... shame... Me and him in a Jeremy Paxman type thing would make a great video I think.

Just lay off the irrelevant thread derailing comments and ridiculous schoolyard threats and this board will be the better for it. You will also stop making yourself look a complete arse (imho).

Let the show go on.

BTW the vote on this page http://www.zaskarfilms.com/filmPages/greatshagrpage.htm
is 6 to 2 in favour of assertive action to stop serious crime.

If you are scared to vote against, dont be silly and if you really are scardipants just use a proxy to vote or ask a grown up to do it for you.

Anyone with any net savvy will explain to you it is hellishly fiddly to get an ip from your logs, I get 50,000 hits a month ! And even then all you have is a meaningless number that wont lead you anywhere.... I just think some of you are pathalogically paranoid or actually completely mad, sorry :confused:

<thinks>

Hmmmmm...which one am I then?

<puts finger on chin and looks up to the left>

When faced with those two choices I'd like to be completely mad I think.

Yep, dunno if I could cope with being pathologically paranoid, being totally bonkers seems the better deal...it just sounds less...erm clinical IYWIM?

Ok, completely mad it is then :D

Fuck off. If you show your face anywhere near by house, you will regret it.
You're lucky he didn't send your PM to a moderator.
 
Sorry to derail the derailment...(what's the etiquette on that by the way - interrupting an off-topic ruck to answer the original question? Is there some protocol I should know about :confused: )...

...but anyway Broadmead's got to be way better just for the choice of shops. The Mall is fine if all you want to buy is mainstream fashion items from identikit mainstream stores. If however you crave stuff that maybe doesn't fall in with this season's 'look' (who decides that anyway :confused: ) then Broadmead and more particularly Park Street and Clifton is for you.

As you were.
 
Answer away. This ruck is long since over, unfortunately a couple of the participants have bad wind and seem to be repeating... Anyhoo...

The Mall has dreadful record shops.

Awful clothes shops.

Piss poor Waterstones.

If it was a choice, I'd go into town every time. But Cribbs is so close and town is so far away. It's a good job I do hardly any shopping.

Yeah, but my nephew is 12 and wanted some trainers.

He didn't want a fairly traded hand knitted yurt from Ulan Bator.

Broadmead has them too.

The Mall has the added advantage of a) being under one roof and b) being near a TGI's (not that I'd have got there anyway :( )
 
The Waterstones in town is much better than at Cribbs. Same record shops and I expect clothes shops, too, but there's the added bonus of things like Park Street (with Fopp, for example) in range. Town has guitar shops, too.

The Mall was absolutely heaving today. I only stayed for about 20 minutes, but that was long enough to know I couldn't find what I was looking for.

so it was a veiled threat then?

bristle-krs said:

Yes I would have thought that was obvoius and quite clearly justified after his infantile and quite ridiculous thread derailing threats. What provoked me to such mild action was the fact that someone very cole to me and nicer than all of us was concerned by his threats, I merely request them to stop and given thjat simple behavioural techniques have been found to work well for obsessive types I thought a small nugget of encouragemnt may help Mr. Apron to become a better person... :p
 
Nothing mild about a veiled threat.

A threat is a threat is a threat.

I say ban.

Anyone got easy access to the mods ears?

QUIT FUCKING PREVARICATING?

none of the above?


Quoted for permancy.

Flatterd I am sure, oh I feel so Oscar Wilde.
 
I think given the threats and provocation I have recieved that I have behaved quite well. Still no tissues for your issues then Mr. Unit.

BTW My nearest who was concerned by all this is now grounded and having read the board is not concerned that somne mad butcher is going to blow my head off.

If i am banned, dont worry I think i will live..... x x
 
Oh forgot to say Mr. unit, the mods can be contacted via the report post thingy on the right hand side, no nepotism required here you know....

The difference is that anything butchersapron or I have to say to you will be said on the boards, for everyone to read, and if it's considered inappropriate then no doubt the moderators will take action. You, on the other hand, prefer to make veiled threats and accusations by PM.

The trouble is though by saying it out loud you are just raking up old dull drama that the mods have made it quite clear will result in bannings and thread deletions.

If I may be so bold as to offer you the same advice you offered everyone else in the Bullying thread- don't respond , just walk away.

Better yet use the forums ignore function- I assume people know U75 has one. That way you don't have to even see posts by people you have chosen to dislike. I don't understand why people here don't do that unless they just thrive on the petty drama. We know some of the posters here don't like Zaskar, but give other posters here the chance to make up their own minds. It is OK to have differing opinions about people and their actions you know.

It's not about "not liking" Zaskar - it's about despising his attention-getting behaviour in general, and his actions in getting the Bristol Indymedia server seized by the police in particular.

I don't want anyone here who may not know about that incident to be lured by his veneer of normality into debating with him and perhaps thereby making him seem credible to other posters.
