Suggestion for OcUk.

I'm a bodybuilder, and have several branded shirts.

Not embarrased to wear any of them. It's not whats on the logo it's how you carry off the item of clothing when you wear it. If it fits well women are gonna like the way you look regardless.

Michaeljcox24 · 25 Dec 2010 at 13:59

Except in this case, I am. Sorry. Not everyone is a liar you know.

And trust me, if your confident with your appearance, in decent shape (I'm not talking Mr Olympia) and talk to women properly, it doesn't matter if you've got a Lidl logo on your shirt.

You would have a hard job impressing the ladies with a hard drive on your sleeve.

And a floppy in your trousers

Agreed though, the mugs / keyfobs / general paraphernalia is also a good idea.

Yup, the clothes will make you look like an employee.

I'd say if "overclocking and hardware" is one of your main hobbies, then you're a geek anyway.

There's nothing wrong with liking technology etc. As long as you except wearing a game shirt makes you a geek (and a virgin )!

Disagree - you can be into overclocking and hardware and be an enthusiast not a geek... a geek would be someone who can tell you the number/serial of every batch of a CPU ever made and which ones had the best clocking parts, etc. whereas an enthusiast would have a more casual knowledge.

I'd say a geek would be the person who puts their CPU frequency in their sig

Or a reference to a toaster.

Didnt OcUK have a clothing range out a few years back?

Redz · 25 Dec 2010 at 14:19

A range of condoms would be better, I could say my **** is overclocked.

Interesting point. There are lads out there with what one could only describe as an encyclopedic knowledge of PC Hardware. Should they be labelled as saddos because of this? I think it's unfair. Hats off to the people.

I for one get really ****** off when society labels people who are into their PC hardware as 'geeks'. Trouble is, where do you draw the line?

People are mixing the term geek up with nerd. A lot of people on this forum are nerds, a much smaller percentage are geeks.

Michaeljcox24 · 25 Dec 2010 at 14:48

Geek

'a peculiar or otherwise odd person, especially one who is perceived to be overly obsessed with one or more things including those of intellectuality, electronics, etc'

Nerd

'a person who passionately pursues intellectual activities, esoteric knowledge, or other obscure interests that are age-inappropriate rather than engaging in more social or popular activities'

People who make a distinction between the words fall into both categories.

That would be my colleague Seabiscuit you are talking about.

Would it make you jealous if I said I have the OcUK fashion range and the mug?

Ahh, always wondered if he was on the forums, he always serves me when I go into the shop.
