    You realize this basically makes you the equivalent of the dyed-blond California stereotype of North American excess who has two hundred pairs of shoes and almost as many handbags, in which she carries her various toy dogs?

    No, as I will only have two tops and two is not excessive.

    I'm a mod at heart.

    Mojo, ignore the German, do not look into his eyes, practise on Haps if needed.

    James yes that is the correct amount in USD

    so when you purchase these tops, they will be the only tops you own? you are topless right now? you have no other tops to speak of? i think that is unlikely.

    also you are paying 200 dollars for a top, at that point, or 100 pounds. That is excessive, if only because there are surely near-identical tops for lesser prices to be found. I mean, they're tops.

    They are tops just as a car is a car and we should all buy old bangers but we don't do we. There are lots of items we purchase in life that have cheaper near identical equivalents but we do not purchase them do we.

    I'm not buying hundreds of said expensive tops like the blonde paris hilton comparison.

    Clearly our philosophies diverge here. If I were to buy a car - which I wouldn't because having a car where I live is excessive, given the existence of good public transportation and my central living spot - I would buy a cheap one with minimal frills such that it would transport me and my possessions from A to B without breaking down. An old banger would be fine. Generally I do purchase the cheaper, near-identical equivalent, especially with clothing, unless the cheaper equivalent is far less sturdy and thus breaks down in a couple months.

    I suppose that if buying expensive shirts is a rare thing, you're not being terribly excessive, though. I just bought a drum set, what can I say?

    What is it about these tops that makes them worth 200 bucks, though? I'm curious. Most of the 200 dollar shirts I see online are those awful, awful overpriced shirts with giant obnoxious graphics, like skulls with winged snakes flying out of the eyesockets. And I doubt you'd wear that shit.

    Is AVG or Comodo Antivirus better? I'm installing Comodo firewall on my computer and I'm wondering if diversity in my protection software is better or to go with vendor homogeneity?

    The firewall upgrade is in response to the realization that my uni notebook has a direct internet available IP.

    Fred Perry is quite a cult brand here with roots in mod culture and therefore is pretty cool, these are the tops in question, I rarely find clothes I like and when I do I buy them regardless of the price, its how I shop really. I don't only buy expensive things, I bought a great owl sweater the other dahy from oxfam for £5. and spending £100 on a top is indeed a rare thing.

    These are the tops in question.

    I will have drink tickets to hand out.

    But, as is common practice, those almost always go to females.

    Unless you're giving up the butt, Nexy baby.

    In that case, I will be buying your drinks all night.
