There is a small box which has a smaller button next to ti which says "Search" in the top right hand corner.

Type in that rectangular box bitcoins UK and you should be able to see hundreds of topics started by guys like you that can't bothered to read.

localbitcoins.com

Click on my name, and find my Bitcoin-OTC how to guide. It's probably the best way to get bitcoins in the UK at the moment.

There is also:

localbitcoins.com
Pingit via blockchain.info (extortionate fees, although convenient).

Try bitcoin-otc, there are no exchange fees, you are dealing with single people rather than companies and its much quicker. I think you'll like it; just follow everything I say word for word and you should be OK. Feel free to ask questions if you get stuck in the thread.

Regarding thecrackheads post, he is saying what all of us regs are thinking in a blunter capacity.  It is a little annoying to get the same questions (this has been asked over and over again, there are many threads dealing with this), but it really is a matter of just searching.

Hope this helps mate.
