If you are a 90s child you may remember the good old Global Hypercolor t-shirts that were popular back in the day. I LOVED mine, and I have wanted to get another for years.
I had an orange one which went yellow, but I always wanted the purple one which went blue, but never got one.
If you have never heard of them or know nothing about them, they are shirt which change colour 🙂 They are heat reactive, so whenever they are hot or cold they change colour. So you can breathe on the shirt and it will change colour.
I finally found someone selling them a while back, and I recently decided to get one, and I finally got it!
It just looks like a regular purple t-shirt until there is some heat….
heat reactive t-shirt! 😀
I love this kind of old retro style tee, it will be great to wear this out 😉
So last night we went out in Durham, nice place and makes a change. We went to a few bars, one of which had a complete mental case in, randomly talking to himself with his weird looking guitar. We went to a few cool bars, had some drinks, ended up in the Bishops Mill which is quite a big place. Then back into Newcastle and had a few drinks in the bars there, and went to a club for a bit.
Before going to Durham I had a sneak look at the big screen at the Monument in Newcastle, they have the Olympics on it at the moment, it’s really cool.
Check out more pics and what I wore (my Johnny Bravo t-shirt!) below.
Wow I am still feeling tired, and have a sore throat. Last night I went out in Newcastle, it was a good night. Started off in a new-ish bar called Brew Dog, I had seen it before but never went it. It is a real ale bar and they sell loads of their own real ales….But that is all they sell! Since I do not like that kind of beer it is no good for me, but it was an alright place. Went on to the usual places like The Long Bar and Revolution, and headed up towards The Gate and went to Indigo and Sinners. Also went to Label, which used to be Babylon, I loved it as Babylon, 90s bar, 90s music and called it the “Down to Earth” bar because it was something different to “The Diamond Strip” which I like but I like a change. Now it is like one of those bars, which I do like, but it’s a bit ‘same old, same old’ if you usually go down that end. Label was good though, good drinks, nice place, good music.
No pics 🙁 I wore my “Soft Kitty” T Shirt which I really like, with my All Saints grey denim jacket, Prada jeans and Kurt Geiger shoes.
So I got the Spain away goalkeeper shirt a while back, in fact before it had even been worn in a match. I was unsure about the colour the printing would have been, probably yellow, but maybe white. Iker Casillas wore it in their last game not so long ago and the printing is in fact yellow like I guessed.
I found a place who does the printing and bought it a while ago, it finally came last week which I blogged about. Today I printed it onto my shirt. I hate to do it, I always think I am gonna mess it up, and then i’d have to buy a new shirt and more printing! 😛
Anyway it turned out fine, here it is:
I am happy the way it turned out 🙂 Printing on the back and small number on the front too. I have some other names and numbers to print on the home and away shirts, I am leaving that until Euro 2012 starts just in case they change numbers or the players don’t get picked.
Wow I have not posted all day. I was out in Newcastle last night, and it was a pretty good night. We went to a few different places that we don’t usually go to, to mix it up….Some of the places are not my scene but I like to go to different places because I get bored of the same old stuff. We went to Town Wall, Mimo, Jalou, Baby Lynch, Cosey Joes, Fleet Street, The Lodge and Ground Floor. Quite a few places! LOL!! Cosey Joes and Fleet Street are not really my thing, but they were alright I suppose 😛 Newcastle was packed because of St Paddy’s Day, so many people out, plenty wearing hats and green and things like that. O’Neils actually had a massive queue outside, something you’d NEVER normally see!
We were into Mimo and it absolutely STUNK! What is it with some of these bars that smell? There are a few which do, I could barely drink my drink it was so bad. I don’t understand why they don’t do something about the smell, it has put me off from going.
They had a sign which was already defaced, I took a pic for my Instagram…
We went to Jalou which used to be Destination, now it has a more “up market” feel to it, well apart from the alcohol. I asked for a Corona he said they don’t have that they have Desperado. I asked for a Budweiser he said we don’t have that we have Budvar. I got bored of asking so I had a vanilla vodka and Coke, which cost £6.40! Quite expensive. It may of been a double, the guy said something and I didn’t hear and just said “yeah” so maybe it was The pints were £4 and normal vodka and Coke over £5. I don’t really understand the places which try to be upmarket and have high prices, but sell rubbish/cheap vodka and bottles of beer. £6.40 is fine for a double of good brand vodka, like Absolut, but not generic cheap vodka.
Ended the night in Ground Floor, it was getting late in the night and it was only across the road from where we were, and I was so tired had to go home, via Subway and a turkey Sub of course 😉

Here are some of the events from Newcastle Fashion week 2011:
Today was the day when I got my Versace Cruise for H&M products! As I have already mentioned I completely forgot about this being released, I must of been asleep or something 😀 but luckily I was able to get lots of great things, probably most that I want out of the collection, apart from the dressing gown 🙁 I have seen a few images of it and it looks amazing! I would buy it if it comes available, it might, so watch this space 😉
It is back! Take Me Out series 3 is here. Starting this Saturday, 7th January Take Me Out is back for it’s third series hosted once again by Paddy McGuinness:)
ITV have also added an “after show” which will air on ITV2 straight after the programme on ITV1.
As always this will be the number 1 blog for Take Me Out, so stay tuned 😉 You can see the latest men’s interest topics over on the men’s lifestyle blog homepage which has daily updates, tips and guides for all guys.
This is a very rare shirt at the moment, it is the Spain away/alternative goalkeeper shirt for 2012. You may have seen my post with the Spain Casillas 2012 Goalkeeper shirt which I love, but I like this one just as much.
Before I bought it I had not seen it “in the flesh” before, it has not been worn in any Spain game yet, so maybe I have worn it before Casillas has! I could not get it printed, I wish that I could, but I imagine it is because it is so new, I have not even seen the colour which the printing would be, I would imagine white as I think that would look best, but it may be golden yellow or something.
Soft kitty, warm kitty little ball of fur. Happy kitty, sleepy kitty, purr, purr, purr. I love it!
Of course is the fron The Big Bang Theory, so if you are a fan of the show you will know the phrase, if not then I guess you won’t.
The quality is really really good, and I am very pleased with it. Super soft, comfortable and a great fit. I had lots of trouble trying to find this in a mens style, most sell it in a womens fitted tee, but I eventually found it.
