    Try wandering over to the Tech forums and see how you get on with that statement, it's anal central :)

    Well considering every ten year old has a smartphone and snapchat and grandparents are engaging in the art of the perfect selfie, I figured die hard computer nerds wouldn't bother with us peasants and move to the dark web or whatever it's called.

    We invented this place to get away from you guys. It's like going to a gay bar for a pint and then complaining about all the homosexuals.

    But every straight guy should know that pulling women in a gay bar is great crack and sometimes easier than 'regular' bars!

    It's hard to market your heritage pattern as elite after that! Burberry are still struggling to regain their original market.


    Burberry reported record profits last year. I think they are well and truly over any damage done by that phase!

    Good for them! I think they were in real trouble for a while with the whole chav connection thing.

    I never see that check around anymore either.

    I have two juicy couture handbags, mortified. They cost me over 200 euro each and I'd be too embarrassed to use them now.

    Paul's Boutique - automatically think people with those bags or jackets are hood.
    JC tracksuit - tacky girls, will usually be orange and have lots of extentions and gel nails.

    Then the likes of those Mckenzie tracksuits, or Adidas tracksuits but I wouldn't really class those as "brands".

    +1. Great result for the marketeers though. Getting people to fight over and spend more and more of their already over leveraged Cubicle currency on slightly different tat and doing so every year.

    Agreed. Fashion and labels are largely a complete scam to liberate people of their hard earned in the pursuit of fitting in or "authenticity".

    You need to be in fantastic shape for leggings to look even remotely flattering, most women certainly in Ireland just don't have the shape to pull it off.
    I'd kinda agree with the first part of that, but not the second. That's a nonsense. The idea that Irish women(tm) are [insert generalisation here] and the grass is greener elsewhere just proves one of two things; 1) the person expressing this has never ventured beyond Hollyhead, or 2) if they did they had their foreign preselector goggles on.

    Many worry about Artificial Intelligence. I worry far more about Organic Idiocy.

    Agreed, Irish women can comfortably compete with women anywhere in the world.

    I don't judge people on the brands they wear/use. Doing so would be very shallow.

    I'm a fan of Apple gear, but am an Android user.

    What I don't understand is why people insist on shelling out for a 24 Month contract for an insanely priced, non-competitive tariff so they can pay €200+ for an iPhone. It actually bewilders me. And they mainly use their phone for WhatsApp, or Facebook. You'd get a half decent Android for €250 unlocked, get a much more competitive PAYG deal with more minutes/texts/data a month and not be tied in for 2 years.

    What's worse is the networks know people will shell out extra for an iPhone, and so have iPhone-only plans which are terribly overpriced and uncompetitive. A vicious circle!

    Rant over...

    because people are idiots, you still missing the memo?

    "oh look latest iphone 160 quid!, its usually 700, I must I must its so much cheaper!! :pac: "

    :rolleyes:

    gob****es look at the contract you just hung around your neck in the smaller print

    How can you spot a non-Apple user.

    They keep starting threads on boards about being non-Apple users.

    I generally don't get into these kinda scraps - contrary to popular opinion the people getting mad about other people's OS are nearly all Android nerds - however, the build quality and the longevity of my iPhone far exceeds most Android devices. My three year old 4S runs the latest OS and will run iOS 8 when it is released. Meaning it's a four year lifecycle. Because I have the latest OS, It runs any and all software I download. My contract is cheap because I bought it more than a year after it was released. It's resale value is vastly greater than any equivalent Android device, and it runs faster than most Android devices I have used, and I work with them.

    Simples. Now bore off.

    Eh no, actually, that would depends on the taste of the individual judging, surely?

    Speaking of foreign preselector goggles, you don't even need to go far to see the cultural difference between Irish hetrosexual females and those of other countries.

    For me its North Face..the only trek some of these people will ever make is on the 67A from maynooth into town

    Agreed! Though they aren't as popular as they were 5 or 6 years ago when almost everyone had a north face fleece. They were also ferociously expensive for plain outdoorwear.

    what I hate most is when people complain about (classic example) someone just above said the north face, this is a climbing brand (to keep you at the right temperature in the right conditions) just cos its a jumper does not mean its a 'jumper' its (and other brands like it) are made from technical fabrics which cost money to develop.

    If you buy this sort of stuff to wear on the street only, then you are a brand whore. end of story. stick with pennies then ;)
