Rant number 285
Yesterday was spent at the Trafford Centre - which was pretty good. Whatever it is you like - you can find it somewhere in that place - on account of it being frikkin huge.
Like - really really big.
We were on a quest for jeans and for entertainment and for various bits and bobs that we didn't know we needed.
We succeeded in getting the jeans today in fact (having found them on Wednesday but having to go to Huddersfield to get the right size today.) We also ended up with some cool and quirky bits and bobs (such as some gold flecked marmite - for people for who normal marmite is not enough.)
The entertainment also - was pretty much a success. We had some fantastic food for instance and saw (I swear to god) an animatronic teddy bear driving a noddy car and singing the Time Warp - which is totally not normal. I had to run into a shop just to escape.
One thing that was a let down however, was the crazy golf we had a go at. It's something we've always fancied doing at the Trafford Centre. It's advertised as a big and impressive American style crazy golf course (they always look so good in movies!)
With this in mind, we took a punt at the £7 it cost each.
It was however, the most uninspired 18 hole course imaginable. The guy who designed it - really had no imagination.
Hole one - hole
Hole two - hole with rock
Hole three - hole with rock
Hole four - hole with rock in different place
Hole five - hole with rock in different place again
I really could continue and it doesn't get any more exciting.
I don't mind paying £7 for something interesting that will kill some time and excite me. For something that appears to have been designed by a 5 year old with crayons - I feel this to be rather too expensive.
Rant over.
