Wow, ok where to start... First off with the rolled up pants thing. Not every single pair of pants or boat shoes look the same. You know, I do follow the trends. I've never said I don't, everyone does to some extent. I just like the stand out in that trend, for example let's take boat shoes. If 90% of people are wearing boats from Topman/River Island that all look extremely similar but I still like them, I would consider going to some of the more specialist shops in Newcastle and buy a pair that aren't exactly the same as everyone else's. Back to the high quality point you made, I said most cheap clothes don't last but not all. So that's sorted. About the making your own clothes point, I get a lot of my clothes tailored. That's not that far off. I might buy some baggy jeans and get them make skinny and tapered. Or even buy a long sleeve shirt and get it made into a short sleeve shirt. So unless I work in a chinese sweatshop, that's about as close as I'm going to get. Lastly, well I don't have much to say other than if you think someone being interested in the fashion industry is "shallow" then I really pity your outlook on life.

I really like that outfit for the record, I love rolling my jeans up with boat shoes and wearing no socks. Great look.

Personally for me I would say the average is around £30, some are more and some are less.

Gahhh, this post annoys me so much! I buy clothes from all over including the high street. I have some clothes that cost me a few pound, I have items of clothing that cost as much as game consoles. I do like to spend my money on nice threads, as said in the original post fashion is also one of my main interests. Some people find it crazy how much I spend on certain items of clothing but I don't get it. I see people on here for example spending stupid amounts on games all the time. I like games, no love games but some people spend 10x what I do on them. Getting back to higher end clothes, I don't buy them because I want to be trendy and fit in, it's actually the complete opposite. There is nothing worse than when I walk round Newcastle and see everyone wearing the same generic Superdry t shirt, or hoodie from River Island. I like to stand out, I get complements on my outfits regularly. I find more expensive clothes in most cases (not all) to be much higher quality, more comfortable to wear, last longer and aren't worn by as many people. But I think the biggest thing of all is that they fit better, I would gladly rather wear a £5 t shirt that is a nice fit than a £40 t shirt that IMO doesn't fit well. I also get a lot of my clothes tailored to fit me, probably half my wardrobe has been altered to some extent. There is no better feeling than putting on a item of clothing and it just making you feel like you can take on the world. So yes, in a nut shell if you are generally into fashion I see no harm in spending more on clothes than other people. Everyone has their interests, some people do up their cars, others may go to the pub every night and drink 5-6 pints. I think the only reason expensive clothes get all the stick is because everyone wears clothes, whilst other interests I.E gaming, not everyone does. Anyway that's might little rant/opinion over!

Does it? I keep find conflicting reports on the interwebs and I thought someone on N-E might know?

How do you do this? I thought you couldn't delete a XBL Gamertag from Microsofts servers.

No I mean create a new one not change your name.

Dear god has anyone seen the new ? The graphics are blow away! Halo 4 has the best facial animation I've ever seen in a video game, and yes I'm taking The Last of Us into account as well.

Yeah I'm past my little phase of changing PSN ID's and Gamertags, I've had this one 2 years and it will be here to stay.

I've been adding a lot of people on Live as of late, as most of you have one of my old Gamertags. If I've missed anyone drop me a PM and I'll give you my current one which I've had for the past couple of year.

I'll add you on XBL anyway

Anyone up for doing the co-op on 360? I still haven't done it, I'll do the DLC too.

I havent read through this thread so maybe this has all been said but... You can buy AppleCare anytime in the first year so you can have a think about it. It's only a warranty, not an insurance so if you have any accidental damage on your product it's not covered. And also you might be able to get it cheaper from somewhere other than Apple. Hope that helps.

Yeah I've said this before but I think this is looking amazing, I never would have thought 343 would out do Bungie but from what I've seen so far I think they just might.

I agree with the outcome, in a nutshell this is why. All companies copy each other, but when you do such a lazy pathetic job as this what do you expect.

I still think this looks awesome, but I think I'm the only one.

Yup, I thought it sounded weird and then I tried it, twas amazing. Used water not milk obviously. I also made a bowl with a chicken OXO cube, cajun spices and roasted vegetables in it. Little chilli power on the top to garnish, again was lovely and super, super healthy.

I think the secret to my diet is this. Oats. I didn't realise how much you could do with the stuff. You can put anything in them, from honey to vegetables with a curry OXO cube. Literally thousands of recipes sweet or savoury, and everyone bowl is filling with low calories, fat, sugar, salt etc.

I bet you loose a ton of muscle on that diet.

I totally agree with what Flinky and HoT have said, I don't have much to say because they have said it all. The only thing I will say is that the Wii U is around the corner and that would be a prime time to try and get some new blood in here, there is going to be a lot of Nintendo buzz this Christmas and I hope N-E makes the most of it.

Well over on OverclockersUK most people who have bought one on that forum have said they have a defected unit. That's all I'm saying.

Well, yes it is. Pretty much everyone's posting pictures of the glass lifting out the casing. Design flaw, serious problem for Asus/Google.

The build quality of these tablets seems absolutely shocking, I was going to pick one up. But the reports in forums about various faults is so worrying. I've seen more people have a faulty unit than a working one.

Just thought I'd share as this is insane. 5 minutes from my house. Recorded a little earlier. Anyone else in the North East getting weather like this?
