They're probably on Youtube, just don't be giving any money over wherever you find 'em.

I've a feeling that Panorama episode on BS sports products has been free advertising for the companies - I'm seeing more people using/ads for the products than ever

Given the premise of the whole show was basically 'none of this stuff works, it's all [LIFTED], if you're buying it you're a moron' I'm not sure the sports companies would be that thankful of the product placement. I'd have liked them to have a go at that weird blue tape you see a lot of athletes using now. Putting an oversized sticking plaster on a muscle group 'to make it work better' is surely the biggest pile of bollocks I've heard in years. Jon

They may not be thankful, but a few people I've seen weren't listening to the message - Powerade bottles tend to stick out, especially with people you know don't normally drink it

Whether it worth paying a few grand to set up a limited company and go self employed.

Bumped into a stunning Chinese girl myself earlier who wanted her photo taken at the Lagan Weir. Out comes the maddest compact camera I've ever seen, just about every bit of it was adjustable in some fashion and it even had mini rails for attaching extras - I actually had to ask where the button was As you probably know, I can't take a photo to save my life, but I swear to Coke the camera did everything for me. It's the best photo I've never taken

No brainer IMHO. More autonomy, more flexibility and in the medium/long-term, more money. Winner all round. What are your reservations?
