Distance selling; buy three different sizes, return two.
Do you use HiFX? They always seem to have *slightly* better rates than anyone else I've used. I used to transfer money directly from an English HSBC account to a French HSBC account but their rates were awful (plus they charged for the transfer). I never know exactly what the cutoff for the HiFX charge is (it seems to be somewhere between £2500 and £3000) but it's only £9 if you don't transfer "enough".

Needed a new printer this time last year, but it had to have the print-cd option. I asked one of the assistants to show me the ones that could do it, and they said none of them can print onto cd's.
Off i went on my own and found 3 in about a minute, on sale on the shelf.
As for buying online, just got a Wii game on Amazon this morning for £39.99, Tesco's want £55.00 for it. No brainer really

To ressurect the Foie Gras thang (I never replied to Olga):
I appear to have touched an almost religious nerve @Olgaline - demonstrated by the three minutes you gave me to answer this post:
Woah there bud! Slow down! Give me enough time to know your post even exists before you write off my argument!
That leads me to believe that you (or someone in your family) is either a producer of Foie Gras or you've some sort of sexual relationship with the fatty pate
Aaanyway - I read the articles you posted and watched (with a kind of bemused and amused horror that you'd post it as a supporting argument) the video you posted.
Force-feeding animals is a cruel process. And before you try to shout me down I think you should know that, like most animal welfare enhancement processes that have occured and are occuring, the process of outlawing force-feeding for Foie Gras is just that - a process that will happen over time. With Foie Gras the weight of argument - and subsequent movement on legal action against the practice - is behind me, not you.
In the European Union the law is slowly swinging against Foie Gras production - as the laws have done in other animal welfare cases.
Production in the EU is now legally limited to countries that have been doing it for a long time. No new producers are allowed to come on-line by law. In The Czech Republic, Denmark, Germany, Luxembourg, Norway, Finland, Italy, Poland, Switzerland, Sweden, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom, Foie Gras production is prohibited.
Turkey and Israel have both banned the force-feeding of animals and it is now banned in Argentina as a cruelty to animals issue.
The United States is slowly coming round to banning. It is already prohibited in California, for example.
The weight of law, as in other animal welfare cases, is bringing generational change. Politicians do it this way because zealots (like yourself and, of course, the French, who have protected this cruel and inhumane practice under "cultural" laws) kick up such a fuss - but you'll all die soon enough so restricting production means that over time less and less people will miss the product - and it'll quietly die out.
It's a done deal. You're wrong, and the wheels are in motion to outlaw it's production (in that way) permanently.
What will actually happen is this: Foie Gras, in it's current form, is dependent on the force-feeding of animals. There is a legal definition for this in some countries - animals that haven't been force fed cannot produce Foie Gras.
However, for example, the US drinks sparkling white wine as "Champagne". It's not actual champagne - but nobody in the US gives a fuck.
In a similar way the force-feeding of animals to produce Foie Gras will be totally outlawed (at some point in the future). The law that says Foie Gras can only be produced by force-feeding animals will be dropped - and nobody but a few zealots will give a fuck.
In time, nobody will remember the (incredibly slight) taste difference between the two methods and the new "Foie Gras" will be widely available.
Job done. You've lost. Nobody cares

We don't seem tiger homeless alcoholics stinking of piss and lager on the bus from the centre of town to karlaplan
Maybe the tiger gets them?
As I suspected. Alot of talk and no real proof of anything, You say it's cruelty yet offer no real evidence. I asked you to proove me wrong, I'm Afraid you fail.
Your right though force fed foie gras is very likely to be a thing of the past thanks to the powers of Lobbyisme and a generation utterly detached from anything agriculteral.
So yes, lets ignore what the veterinarian is saying, surely if it looks cruel, and if it would hurt on me..then it must be cruel.
you really dont have a clue do you ?
There Fixed, Ps: You really still, dont have a clue do you ?
Taste exactly the same as the force fed one, it's just ..smaller
Finally, something we can agree on.
Having discussions like these is like having discussions with religious nutheads - Logic, facts, and commen sence is a waste of time and energy.

To be fair, champagne technically has to be made in champagne to be classed as it...

He doesn't need to prove anything, the courts in several countries already are beginning to ban and restrict production of true Froi gras, due to it being, you know...cruel and all that.
Yeah yeah, Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foie_gras_controversy
The funny thing is, I'm more than open to accept any proof - At all!
And no! I'ts Illegal i XX is really a very poor argument of proof.
It would be a fun path to explore
So the Saudis got it right, Women can't drive!
Wait..bad example...

Thanks for the link Raven..
Finally a shred of evidence to support that it might be unplessant to the animals...Unplesant = cruel ? I'm not one to say.
This I'd be willing to discus and explore.
But..but...
But..but..but....god hates faggots!

Again, hard to come by washing-schedule that some people seem pass other people by, starting an hour long washing session when its your time.
Simple solution. Override their washing session and change the temperature from 40 degrees to 95 degrees, then continue the machine as usual. Fuckers.

Decent queue behavior died out long ago. There is not much to indicate thats going to change any time soon, solution? Get your own machine, and you can wash when ever you want
Same reson people try to sneak ahead at road works, supermarket ques, etc etc..
Hell, even in the way we speak. Example, In danish we used to, and should say "when talking about you and someone doing something we'd say:
Fett'chump and me are on our way to....
Now?
Me and Fett'chump are on our way to....
Me first!

Have one. This is at a friends apartment in another city. Apparently there are a lot of immigrants that seem to have their own washing-rules. Fixed that for them.
And in a sudden flash of self-revelation, that would be the first thing Hooch in Scrubs would've done.
Hey, got any good bourbons/rye's you can recommend?

Perhaps something sweet and smoky in flavor, also with a lot of character.
Edit-quoting like a pro; Yeah it is annoying that people are a bunch of thieving cunts.
