sticks what are you on about its still there!
Oh and by the way,i know its in Gateshead,im not an idiot.I only said Newcastle becuase some people might not have heard od Gateshead.Alright?and ill post what I want my self an the other forum members don`t need any more false info from you cheers.

Yeah I know its good isn`t it?
Ive been a few times already:spin2:

And how would you know if celebs went or not sticks,you think that the rides have been taken out lol!?!
Ive seen Kieron Dyer there before and Ive seen Bobby Robson and some newcastle player(may be an ex player) Nikoz Dabizas (im sure thats spelt wrong but any how i saw him a few years back lol)

Lots of Newcastle players go there, as well as Geordie actors/actress such as Jill Halfpenny, and Ant & Dec when they're up here.

Only when they have something to plug

Or need to pop to Tesco, right?
They need shopping too. I've seen Jill Halfpenny in River Island doing her shopping, she wasn't doing big fancy fan-meets or autographs or anything. Just shopping.

Those who look through a cynical eye never see the true acts of humans, Sticks :laugh:

I prefer to think of it as metro hell!!! was there yesterday with daughter trying to get her some new clothes. I hate the place with a passion but it has so many shops it's the best place to go to.

I agree. It is just too big and just too noisy. Thankfully I haven't been there since I lived in Durham years ago but we have a smaller version in Leeds which is just as bad.

I havent been to the shopping centre in Leeds but I do like shopping in Leeds city centre. My head office is just round the corner from Harvey Nichols who I have to say do the best olives in the WORLD!!!

Being a man I avoid shops except on Birthdays and Christmas Eve when I have to go shopping. So I don't go down to the city centre much but there are some good shops to be found in Leeds and I like Corn Exchange. I had to ban Kiz Harvey Nichols they sell too many posh hand bags.

Oh god you sound like my hubby. I phoned him from Harvey Nics to say I had found a bag I was in LOVE with and the selfish beast wouldnt let me have it, it was only £900 dont know what his issue was!!:joker:

Wow so many TiBB members near the north East, it has been ages since the last real world convention, how about one in Newcastle?

BTW I shop at Grainger Market, the Co-op on Newgate Street, the Food Court on Newgate Street, a health food shop near the empty space where the library was and local shops.

You can get carrier bags from ASDA for free.......... LOL

I can't put my finger on it... :laugh:

I'm from the North-East, but haven't been to the Metro Centre for years, last time was when I was at school and I went shopping with my best friends when we were in Year 11 cos it would be our last Christmas together at school.

I love shopping and you can't get me out of clothes shops - New Look's my fave, thankfully my bloke has the patience of a saint so he can put up with it if I brought him along!

BTW, I'm gonna point out now that I'm from the South East instead of the North East... don't wan't to confuse you all... :thumbs:

oh nicola your from redcar!!
cool lol.
Well i got back from the metro centre about 3 hours ago.i had fun:cheer2:
I got myself a nice morgan dress,morgan jeans,shoes from river island,new underware and pjs from la senza.:elephant:Yay!
Ohhh and they had these really cool cars there on display today,it was a one of these.Isnt it sexxxaaayyy!?

I want to go, it sounds 10x better than Liverpool town.

Seriously it has everything under one roof BUT it gets packe which is why I hate it.

They do have a rather nice chinese buffett restaurant in the village now which is good, the only thing is the food is lovely and cheap but the drinks require you to take out a small bank loan.

Sticks I think a NE meet up would be lovely, we could look into it maybe closer to christmas or for the new year when everyone is bored

I know... but the atmosphere is great, and as you say it has everything under one roof...

...and any shopping centre with a Muffin Break in it is an... um... "friend" of me!

Omg that Chinese buffet in the village is gorgeous - and Sunny - they don't begrudge you taking in a drink of your own so you don't have to pay their prices, if I remember correctly.

I am starting a club for those from the north east.Im going to call it 'North East tibb members exclusive'
