Depends on the type – I always try and get something abroad (travel quite a bit), ebay can be good as well as various websites, again all depending on type.

Just picked up a gorgeous ceremonial Indian paddle in Alaska to hang on the wall.

Tend to get wall mounted items rather than ceramics.

I can’t agree more!

Personally its an ok deal and is really part of the whole clearance in the air process and I would see this as a legitimate part of their service.

Def better than it ending up being held in customs awaiting payment.

As much as I love Le Cresuet stuff do not get one of their cast iron frying pans – coating is terrible.

Currently I am using a Lodge non-enabled cast iron pan which I picked up in TK-Maxx for £12 and it is honestly the best frying pan I have ever used – with the exception of not being able to cook acidic things (a trait of non-enabled cast iron).

Other than that I would suggest having a look down TK – they tend to have a lot of decent stuff at disposable prices.

I have used Soundcare superspikes before and they work really well

I like the sound of this.. How does one go about finding a CEO’s email address? Surely it can’t be CEO@company.com?

In my experience it usually is. No reason to hide and they usually have a EA to deal with their inbox

DHL promote it and it works a treat

I stayed on one for a month in Chicago – no issues at all – really quite good.

I am a big fan of Nixon

Drac – great stuff glad you are liking it. You are using some woodchips too aren’t you?

Personally I think dutchie’s look great – but only in black!

May be out of the price range – but the bike all girls love

Yeah, tend to eat out a lot and have been to a few of the Italians and they aren’t bad at all. Better than Ask/Pizza express but not as good as an authentic Italian – but a good job overall.

a weber chimney starter is probably the best bit of BBQ kit I’ve ever bought.

I second that!

Just released that was a crap guide.

This is what I do.
– apply some dry rub to a chicken (simple peri peri works a treat) leave for a few hrs in the fridge
– when 8 briquettes are ready, add some wood chips in a foil bag
– add some beer to the moat
– pop the tray and rack on (home made foil rack)
– add the chicken
– add a few more coals after 1.5hrs
– chicken done in a total 3 hours.

Cheers ericemel it’s first trip is Friday for a camping trip. Do you need the seperate smoker or will it work another way?

Follow this :) you probably didn’t order a rack, improvise with some foil.

mogrim – does your home brick bbq have a cover?

Cobb ordered

Excellent! I highly recommend doing a simple smoked chicken first time around – you will see your money has been well spent! For reference I have 3 smokers and the Cobb does chicken better and easier than either of the full size ones!

If it’s got gas, it’s not a bbq.

I used one of these a while back, not the most stable but otherwise very good.

Son of Hibachi is ace if you want to pack up and leave quickly.

That’s really a grill not a BBQ

I have a Cobb and find it damn good. Actually using it most of the time now.

Alternatively you can just ask sky to switch your subscription to a ‘freesat on sky’ one.

And I’d take a flat rate of 45p a mile for 1000 miles per month gladly as ours drops to 20p per mile after 3500.

Remember you can claim back the difference form HMRC!

Nah the depreciation will kill you.

But longer term it can make sense some sense.

And remember you can claim back the difference from HMRC is your company doesn’t cover the statutory minimum

We are – with servicing costs covered for 5 years with the exception of tyres on our new car and averaging 62mpg it is cheap motoring!

I am surprised you haven’t been banned form the forum for that

I have a pretty big set and would highly recommend them with the exception of the teflon coated frying pans.

Be careful on weight though – I know a number of older people who really don’t like the weight.

Ha I live close to here and think its great :)

Easy: Empire Strikes Back

Sold! Cheers guys

“Remember it”s always easier to find a new job when you’ve already got a job.”

So true

I say do it, but I am bias since moving to London I have had the best time of my life

I just bought a UE Boom – finding it very good indeed and makes a great handsfree kit.

Find someone who can educational apple discount and get a 13″ Mac pro for £945

If you take GBP with you you will get about 10% better rate there

Do it.
You only live once.

Worth every penny if the person wants to succeed – walk out having a good time, great networking and a degree.

Its not a licence to earn, its an aid to get there.

By central do you mean west end or city?

Workshop farringdon or Flat White in the west end are both winners
