    Talking A man walks into a branch of PC world...

    Well me anyway, at the weekend. Needed a random cable in a hurry, and as it happens I was wearing a Hexus tee. Anyhoo, I'm there with the kids having a browse to see if they had any thermal paste of quality as well, and a sales assistant approaches & asks "do you need any help there sir?". As I turn to answer he visibly namechecks the shirt, nods & wanders off without me having to say a word.

    Hexus RULES!

    You was wearing a Hexus tee? You was in PC world? No wonder he walked away from you!

    Re: A man walks into a branch of PC world...

    PC world is often handy for small emergency purchases

    and Hexus tee's are undeniably cool

    But yes, not a winning combination on the face of it

    Re: A man walks into a branch of PC world...

    I think there's a market for this 0iD.

    T Shirts that say stuff like "IF you're gonna try to sell me a USB cable with gold plated ends to speed up my printer, please bog off"

    Sair/Rias has a T short with a Hawker Hurricane (MK2 C with the 4 x 20mm canons for those in "the know") on it, that I had made for her, that says "Move, I'm in a Hurri" and that works at airshows

    I didn't have a t-shirt to say it, but in Richer Sounds, when the guy tried to sell me expensive speaker cabling, I declared that I had a joint honours degree in Electrical Engineering. He said "oh I see" and moved on.
