Would rather have my jam butties 
What an over rated, over priced, poncey place.
Full of wannabe office workers aspiring for their wannabe designed butty.
They're full of stuff that grows and tastes rank. I opted for a chicken salad and had to empty a salad bowl of fresh stuff to get to the chicken. I then had to take a loan out at the checkout to pay for my purchase!!!!!!!
Not happy... will stick to my strawberry jam specials from now on.

Review of Bullring Shopping Centre
23 May 08, 09:35
Luxury shopping 
Wow - no pigeons pooing on your shoulder - no tramps sleeping in doorsteps - just relaxing and chilled out atmospheres.
I think they try and chill you out so much so you don't realise that you're spending your money and you shop more. Well it worked.
We thought we'd have to go all over town to look for outfits for our two little ones. How wrong we were. Brilliant facilities and the toilets are clean and smell fresh!! Excellant.

Wonderful Birthday meal 
I've passed this place coming and going from work - so I decided to take my wife there for her Birthday.
Wow - great menu, atmosphere was fantastic and the staff couldn't do enough to make sure our meal went well.
Would totally recommend you take your loved one there for a bite to eat.

Review of Ethos Urban

Get in the good books!
Right then fellas, do you need something unusual that will get you back in the good books? Well look no further.
Ethos Urban is full of little trinkets that she will LOVE. If you can't find anything then they have some lovely flowers which they'll do magic things with and make it look like you've grown half a tropical garden. The Cabbage flowers are weird - but look great.
Great. friendly service with a smile. Perfection.

Review of National Sea Life Centre
05 May 08, 08:36
Prefer my fish with chips! 
Birmingham is the most land locked place in the country - so what do they do... ship in thousands of litres of water and fill it full of sea creatures. GREAT! Whoop whoop!
Nah - actually not. It's not that bad, but just walking around a looking at fish, otters, sting rays etc is not really my things. The kids enjoyed it - I had to pretend.
It's abit dirty in parts. The food hall leaves ALOT of be desired. Take a packed lunch.

Review of All Bar One

Noisy pint! 
Popped in after work the other afternoon for a steak sarnie and pint of lager.
It's one of those trendy business type pubs with people in suits trying to look important. The seating is nice... large chunky wooden tables and chairs. There's even an outside area to sit when the sun shines. Today it's cloudy - but there are people being brave out there.
Now, the only big problem I had was the noise... mumble mumble mumble... it was sometimes hard to hear yourself think - but the food was lovely and the beer went down well.

Review of Birmingham Hippodrome
29 Apr 08, 11:01
Most comfy seats in the house
Now people may have worried alot when the old Hippodrome was knocked down to make way for the all new swanky theatre - but they'd have been better off putting that energy into something else.
The place is amazing... It's clearly set out, clean, tidy and bright and funky. All levels are very accessible and you can see straight away where you need to go to get to your seats.
Now, once in those seats you WON'T want to move as they're so so comfy. No lazy arse half way through the performance. You can sit back and enjoy.
There's also plenty of choccie and ice cream stands too. Plus, the staff are so so so so polite and lovely.

Review of Radisson Sas Hotel
29 Apr 08, 10:57
Total Luxury
Well I've watched this building come out of the ground and turn into the luxury monster that now stands tall over the city.
We booked into a standard room, but upon arrival we got bumped up to a business class room. We thought yeah - whatever. But my god - King size bed, luxury bathroom products and the room was on the corner of the hotel. With ceiling to floor windows you certainly people with vertigo should think twice!
That sad the views are amazing... you can see for miles and miles. Enough of that though - this hotel is the best I've stayed in for a long long time... you can even get a free performance from birmingham royal ballet if you're clever and tilt your head down towards the hippodrome.
Oh and it's great for bedroom antics too - imagine doing IT whilst the whole of the city watches... quite a thrill!!! (is that allowed!!)

Review of Mr Egg
29 Apr 08, 10:50
Mr Egg - Smegg!!
Now then, I used to go here most Saturdays to try and soak up all the booze from the Friday night before. It was then THE place to get the best fry up in the city - but now, well - It's changed owners and leaves alot to be desired.
Not the same standard of sausage, the eggs are over cooked and the whole place could do with a lick of paint.
NOT happy... my stomach was abit dodgy for a few days after too....
On a brighter note - the material egg on the ceiling is still there!!
