Full to the Brum

@nxwestmidlands I’m trying to get from the Maypole down high st via the 49 and then back up it to Cotteridge. The section by Maypole the road is closed…help?

@meIisactu @bazzdgrogan The general perception, over the last few years, is building owners in Digbeth have been holding on for HS2 because they know prices will go through the roof

@bazzdgrogan It’s crazy how quickly the city Centre dips into decaying or massively underdeveloped parts, the back of the bull ring around the market looks like a left behind former mining town and so many areas are just empty - Digbeth is meant to be prime for redevelopment too!

I’m from Bham and the only other major city I’ve really experienced is London after moving here.Visited Manchester over Jan and had what felt like an incredibly stupid & embarrassing awakening to how significantly not shit other cities can be, genuinely changed a lot of my priors

@eatwithellen Anything before the 31st is too early. Tbh I wanna see round ups on 1st or 2nd Jan

Watching everyone else round up 2024 on 29th December but you’re still not quite done with the fun 😂🙌🤩

@Fern_Berry_ @AldiUK I have chicken mince with soy and oyster sauces, rice and veggies for lunch most days. Used to make meatballs with turkey mince but haven’t done that for a while.

If the fridges of @AldiUK are full of party food now, does this mean I might get chicken mince back in the new year? Because this is my third visit / second Aldi and it’s getting critical. #MustNotPanic

@AldiUK Mate, I’ve had to go to Lidl to get some. Please tell the Aldi in Stirchley to get it sorted for next week, I don’t want to have to defect

@FulltotheBrum I shall demand that you want this back 😉 😆

@ichoosemag Based on how many times I’ve been I’d say Pho but there’s a few I’ve not been to still.

Best restaurant at Grand Central?

@ReissOmari I like the name, but IIRC it doesn’t have many/any shop fronts on it. A more obvious candidate for being revived is Canon St.

So many under utilised streets in Birmingham City Centre, it’s quite sad. Think it’s time to move focus from Westside now

Time for @WestMids_CA to update their crisis PR training, @RichParkerLab this really should’ve been paused…whilst in all for public transport over car use, this is hardly the biggest nightmare associated with German Christmas markets at the moment.

Forget all that ‘bab’ nonsense, the real iconic Birmingham merch is this print of an artwork that @chapmangamo did of Adultworld

Birmingham Chinese Festival Committee & @brumhippodrome have announced the return of Chinese New Year celebrations in Feb showcasing talent within the local Chinese community & include a range of traditional & modern music, dance & theatre. birminghamhippodrome.com/chinesenewyear 🐍🎇

Well, the inevitable has happened. Gail's is moving in to Birmingham city centre. This expansion is rapid, huh? birminghammail.co.uk/whats-on/food-…

@Mark86760590 @nxwestmidlands NXWM can’t make the roads clear of other traffic, which is what holds up the buses the most…most of the delay isn’t down to them.

@nxwestmidlands Can you make them run on time before 7 pm please - your service is appalling alot of the time!!

Between Monday 9th and Friday 13th December we'll be spreading the festive cheer 🎁 As all our buses will be free to use from 7pm onwards, with customers able to simply hop onboard and travel anywhere across the West Midlands! 🎄 Find out more here: bit.ly/4fHLQ1g

@M3WDD @Bozzers You could’ve caught the bus!

@Bozzers You tell me I just walked all the way to Solihull to tick off my nearest Gail's? By comparison there are 37 Greggs within 5 miles of home. Aside - if you register for their app (Gail's and Greggs both) then elements of your first visit will be free.

@DanOffTheRadio Much better suggestion. I can’t get behind anything that is actively avoiding Wham…these people are fools.

We don't believe in this nonsense. Every time you hear one of these songs, have a mince pie.

@BiteYourBrum It’s like someone forgot to book it in for this year and went with a choice from last year. Like no offence go Mr Krasinski but you’re right either of those two men are far more relevant to 2024.

I’m sorry, but in a year that saw the reintroduction of Adam Brody AND Joshua Jackson I simply refuse to believe this.

@SolihullBID @GAILsBakery Is that the old Laura Ashley shop?

😋 Discover the delightful new addition to #Solihull High Street with the grand opening of @GAILsBakery Known for its artisan breads, delicious pastries, and inviting atmosphere, GAIL's is set to become one of your new favourite spots for a morning coffee or a leisurely brunch!

@Owen_de_Visser We do: B30 isn’t just Stirchley. It includes the McDonalds at Parsons Hill, and the Greggs and Subway up in Cotteridge (and KFC). Somewhere with longer, regular opening hours would be good. I’m not convinced we need two McDonald’s in the one suburban postcode mind.

This is exactly what Stirchley doesn't need. If we don't fight against McDonalds coming, then Greggs, Subway, Costa etc will all be here next. B30 is incredible because we *don't* have any multi-national food chains. It is community driven, exciting, progressive and unique. 1/2

@OliDClark @BearwoodCouncil @David4BKH About to say the same thing. Haven’t lived on Westfield road for over ten years but Ruprai’s shop will always hold a part of my heart.

@BearwoodCouncil @David4BKH You can tell you are not a local! No one round here calls it Nisa, for the locals it is and has always been Ruprai.

Please sign and share this petition, calling for the long over-due Moseley and Kings Heath LTN to be delivered faster than the current programme, which is set to deliver the earliest improvements in July 2025 with other elements as late as June 2026. chng.it/krxKg9ymc5

@JamesWeston86 @ichoosemag @AlisonHammond @mozi78 I *cackled* at this question and the response. Today’s ICB was such a joyful read it really made a great start to the day.

@ichoosemag another brilliant interview with @AlisonHammond Wonder who was more scared of the geese though; Alison, or @mozi78
