View Full Version : Pulse & Cocktails (this is one for the girls...)
michelley 02-09-2005, 08:45 Would you go into pulse and cocktails on your own? or would you take someone with you?
im wanting to go in at some point today and am a bit nervous - would you do it...........?
Make me feel better..lol
I've been in a few times, both with company and without! The people there are down to Earth and will try to help you look for something.
sugarnspice 02-09-2005, 08:47 Yes definitely. Don't be nervous matey, it's just a shop at the end of the day. Nothing to be scared of. :thumbsup:
Go for it... Its not all that bad once you get in there, I have been in once to buy a gift for someone (honest!) :blush:
The staff are really helpfull and friendly just like your avarage shop, but one half is full of weird and exciting objects :hihi:
don't worry about it ! it is just a shop after all!
i would go in on my own.
plus think about the benefits far outwaying your initial embarrassment !! ;)

bertie749 02-09-2005, 09:47 I have been and everytime it suprises me how normal it really is .... don't know why though its only a shop after all.
I have found the shop assistants to be really friendly and helpful and would advise you go buy yourself as otherise it would just turn into a giggle and you would come out with nothing
It does seem a little strange to walk into somewhere were couples have strange shaped objects in their hands and talking to the shop assistants as though they are buying a new piece of furniture.... nice though.
beansfeast 02-09-2005, 09:57 The one at the end of the Parkway in Rotherham is quite famous through my friends and friends of theirs etc after a visit!
It seems having the largest wall of 'ladies accessories' in Europe means rather a lot!!
I preferred the ladies in the cage though... ;)
michelley 02-09-2005, 10:04 Well im not going in for toys (she says blushing!) more like an outfit to surprise my other half with tonight (she says blushing again!) - iv got the afternoon off work - i would have preferred to go when it was dark but that would be too late!
Im dreading it iv been in before but with friends its just the idea of walking in on my own! OMG!
LOL!
bertie749 02-09-2005, 10:11 ''You go girl'' :clap: .... and buy your partner something too!!!

Oh well, you may see me in there anyway. There's a really nice studded thong I've been wanting... they didn't have the XXXL "cup" size last time I was in.

Yeah Yeah ... :rolleyes:
Hi Michelle. do you live in chapeltown. I do. I live on Blackburn Crescent,
where do you live??
michelley 02-09-2005, 10:57 i lived on Park View Road but i moved a few weeks ago why?
CherryNicole 02-09-2005, 12:05 next forum meet should be at pulse and cocktails me thinks :D
dieselbabe 02-09-2005, 12:42 My mates are same,will not go in without no one.They think im brave to go in my self.But they nothing to it at all goin into this shop alone i been in many a times and the staff are very friendly and helpfull.I love this shop use to use the rotherham one a lot but now hillsbrough open i go into that one.So anyone that is scared or thinks twice about goin into a shop like this just go in you be suprised how relaxing the shop is and not what people sometimes think.
FairyNormal 02-09-2005, 13:52 I've been in loads of times by myself. In fact, I have been in and bought videos and other things for male friends as they are too embarrassed to go in by themselves! Pathetic lol!
It's well lit, friendly and the staff aren't all at pushy but will advise if asked.
Go for it I say!
I don't mind going in on my own or taking someone. If you're worried, the one at the bottom of London Road has a rear entrance as well so people don't watch you going in/out. :D
[edit] I tend to buy online though as it's cheaper.
a strange choice of words that, " a shop that sells sexual aparatus with a rear entrance"
I think its a bit of a dilema for singular people to go in, its a bit like a pub thing a bloke could laugh it off but a lady looking for something special feels out of place .
try it and stick two sexual fingers up to the world if someone says i saw you down there, ask them were you going in or had you made your purchase,
live every day as thoguh its your last,
but beware of the XXXL tartan vibrator with the word thermos on the side.

Oooo Fabulous idea! :D
We could even have an Ann Summers party, or a Gash girl's 'do! Ooo it'd be soooo fun lol ;)
As for me, I'd go in there alone! I couldn't give a monkeys what anyone thinks/who sees lol! I tend to buy online, but am planning on popping over to the store at Canklow Meadows on my next day off ;) Fun, fun fun! :D

A truly unselfish, philanthropic, humble and considerate member of the community, just like myself an all round top:banana::thumbsup:
bigflesh 02-09-2005, 18:33 Thats right ladies, you did hear me right. I am more than happy to come to the rescue. I can also offer any advice you may need on any of the items which tickle your fancy. Look at me as your personal shopper. I will even provide transportation and come with an automated refreshment allowance, which I'd be happy to share.
Sometimes I surprise myself as to the level of humanity I show.
By the way, "SugarnSpice" - those heels are knock-out!

You're all heart & it's very admirable Bigflesh, my dear. Not all men would consider trooping round shops looking for a sexy revealing outfit for a nice young lady to wear. :hihi:

sugsy, after seeing your webby, I don't think you will be needing any advice! Which is a shame really.

Lol! No probably not. But I can pretend if it makes you feel better? ;)
For women worried about going into Pulse and Cocktails, it may help to know that as a company policy there is at least one female member of staff on duty in each store at all times, and you can request that she serves you if it makes you any less uncomfortable. Never found it necessary myself though!
fnkysknky 02-09-2005, 20:47 It's a shop - can't really see why anyone should be ashamed/scared/whatever of going in - it's all good fun :)
Bit expensive tho......

*Twinkle* 02-09-2005, 20:57 awwww! I missed out... Mind you I think I was prolly too young for it back then... lol! Anyhoo, count me in for the next!

i prefer the ones that are badly lit and smell of filth:hihi:
michelley 07-09-2005, 11:22 Well i did it - walked in the shop and i was fine but a little embarrased - got my outfit and paid, it was totally fine - like you guys said just like being in any other shop.
I totally wasted my time though, he fell asleep after a few pints and we split up again a couple of days later......so il have to save it for the next lucky feller!

Sweet! Now you will get many offers of assistance ;)
I've been in before, with company and alone.
The staff are nice enough, I doubt you'd feel uncomfortable. Nothing to be nervous about, really.
SatanInHeels 07-09-2005, 12:28 i dont mind going in anywhere like that, but not on my own :blush:
