    Any members living in the North West are advised to keep their other half out of the Trafford Centre.

    Be warned!

    A new shop has opened.

    I managed to steer my wife away from it today, without her noticing it must have recently moved into the unit formerly occupied by Whittards.

    Some women have their own money Doghouse - and they can spend it on anything they like.
    Thank God I don't need any mans permission to buy a handbag :hehe:

    Ah!

    But could a Radley handbag be considered a "justifiable expense" say... like.. two jukeboxes?

    :lollol: Goodness me, I could think of a whole lot more indecent things than HANDBAGS ....

    Handbags could carry your money around so you can buy more Jukeboxes or Records to go in them ... no, no, no that's 'off the net' ... so NO HANDBAG REQUIRED .... :hehe:

    My t'other half managed a massive music store in the States and it was FULL of RECORDS, GUITARS AND OTHER MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS .... a whole shop FULL OF THAT ... :help:

    I find it a shame that men don't take the time and effort to look nice and presentable ... must just be a woman thing ....

    I've just been to Bluewater, Axie-Ali - complete with sulky son in tow. He thought having to circle around the same display twice in order to choose Dad a present was totally beyond the call of duty and promptly stomped off to fill up on KFC. (I had no option but to bribe him with rubbish food in order to get anything done.) He did cheer up slightly when Hotel Chocolat started giving out free samples but I thought it best to usher him out of the shop before he had eaten the entire plateful. :o

    Hiya there Music ..

    I'm sure you look divine .. but Im not talking about suits .. for God's sake I had to put up with that for 35 years of working ... I'm talking about looking smart and nice and trendy .. and men .... IN MY OPINON ... haven't got a clue ....

    Baggy pants / shorts (let's not discuss what's under it for heaven's sake ... certainly not Reger), tee shirts / shirts hanging out over bulging bellies and going whey hey babe ... puke .... let's come into reality...
