I didn't really know how to organise them, suggest changes if you think it should be sorted out some other way.

Keep 'em coming people !!

I though it might be a good idea to recommend websites.
Don't assume that everyone knows a website that you use.

Here's two I suggest.

www.jcpenney.com
for cheap Levis, Dockers etc from USA
TIP: When it comes to 'proceed to checkout', click on the ALTERNATE FORM for international customers and when completed, choose the delivery that takes a few weeks rather than the expensive 'express'. Sometimes, I repeat sometimes, this method of delivery escapes the attention of the revenue folk. This site is also good for womens clothes so tell the missus.

www.virtualtourist.com
is great for planning a holiday. Rear clever reviews of hotels and find out where to get nice food outside of the usual tourist traps. It's interesting to read reviews from foreign tourists to Ireland
