    Cheese laid out as well, 2 hard, 1-2 soft goey one and a goat one to cover all bases.

    I'm becoming more of a fan of goats cheese these days.

    Have been on a bit of a pizza mission lately having discovered the Papa Johns 'Alfresco' with Goat's cheese, caramelised red and yellow pepper confit, cherry tomatoes, and onions with a balsamic drizzle.

    Superb with a glass of Amarone Valpolicella.

    Cooking a rib roast tonight, well, I say tonight but it's been slow cooking in the oven since 4pm.

    Should be ready soon, and Mrs McT has opened a decent bottle of wine.

    Absolute torture.... The remnants of my hangover are fighting a raging battle with the oh so tasty smell of her glass of red.

    I suspect the hangover will lose.

    Just Googled... apart from finding them in dodgy/cheap shops... you can order from Amazon.com in boxes of 30 packs for $20+P/P

    Aaargh. Tried to order and they don't ship to UK.

    I found something called The China Centre in Colchester. I can't work out if they deliver anywhere apart from Colchester; it isn't entirely clear. I have never been to Colchester.

    Do you chat online to anybody in the States? I've got a bunch of mates that would be willing to receive and send on packages for me.

    Go to Colchester... you know you want to.... or SingleSue's not that far away :) even that Herts lot (who might be scared to wander too far from the M25, might be over that way sometimes.

    Alternatively, keep an eye out everywhere you go in the cheap shops that sell furren stuff.

    Result. Ebay. Doll Instant Noodles, £3.99 for 4 packets..... although that's a bit pricey and you might not like those flavours.

    I bet Birmingham's stuffed full of these things in small local shops.

    I bet you're right! I have found a shop in Scotland that delivers. £36.52 for 45 packets of noodles, delivered. Is that excessive? :o If it was daytime, I'd be scouring the oriental supermarkets of Birmingham right now.

    EDIT: looking for the optimum P&P price, I can have 54 packets for £41.74. I'm not sure where I'd put 54 packets! 36 packets for £28.06.

    And £5.99 delivery! £10 for 4 packets of random flavours. I used to pay 32p a pack in Streatham.
