Apple Store opening in Trafford Centre!

[Applespider]

It's a year to the day that the first store opened. I recall spending Friday night 365 nights ago shivering my ass off on Regent St 😉

I'll probably pop down once more before Christmas. its just that little bit too far away for me. it takes me an hour to get to Manchester centre on the bus, so im pretty much reliant on my parents taking me.

Damn, i want a tshirt too 🙁 to go along with my "touch me" DS and my Enter (Finnish game magazine that my game got into once) shirts.

I've been to the Trafford Centre store today, tis a really nice well equipped shop, if a little small and cluttered.

Though theres loads of Mac's to play with, even at 10am on the grand opening day I managed to have a play with an iMac G5 and a Mac Mini.
The Powermacs were being hogged by a load of students! Bah!

Got my t-shirt too, after queueing for an hour to get in and it looked as if there were only about a hundred left when I came through the doors and got a high five. lol 😛

I can see my credit card being maxxed out in there soon. 😀

Trafford Centre

I also went to the Trafford Centre opening, I got there at 8:15 and there was only about 100 people in front of me in the queue. The opening was a lot of fun and I don't think I've seen so many white earbuds in one place!

Anyway...

For all of you that couldn't make it or curious here are a number of photo's that I took while I was there.

Loved it - like the store, staff are great – friendly & enthusiastic. How cool was the niña do Brazil who was shaking her money-maker and high fivin us going in!

So excited! 😛

But you're willing to do a cross-Pennines dash to Manchester, drop it off, drive back to Skipton then repeat the exercise a week later when it's ready??? 😱 😛 😛

i dont think i can live with out my PB for that long!!!

aw mate you have the best hair!

Nothing to do with the Trafford Centre at all. but me and my mate Tom have a right laugh in Selfridges. In Manchester they have iSights hooked up to the PowerMacs, one of them has QT7 pro. record yourself dancing, loop back and forth, Apple+F

make a quick get away into Marks n Spencers but keep peeping through the glass to see customers laughing away, and sales assistants trying to close it (usually with ALT+F4 😀 🙄 )
