 (1) I went off wearing black for quite a while, but now it's creeping back into my wardrobe.

(2) I do like Mortal Kombat and Halo but I've gone off Call of Duty because I could never finish it. I suck at Call of Duty.

(3) I think I've gone off cereal and I used to love it.

(4) Nigel came round to look at my racing bike. He said that it was mass produced, unlike his bike that was ‘made by a craftsman in Nottingham’. I have gone off Nigel, and I have also gone off my bike a bit.

(5) I saw Nigel on the way home. He told me Pandora’s father is a milkman! I have gone off her a bit.
