Hi,
I just read the post on the rapid sale and I thought I might as well get a stock pile of essential parts in one go.
So I was wondering if any of you kind people could suggest the bare essentials for starting off.
Would this be a good buy to get me going with resistors:

I'll be buying 5x08m and 5x18x chips.
What sort of soldering iron should I go for, would it be ok to buy a cheap one to get me going before splashing out a load of money on a soldering station?
I know this is a bit of a random question as I don't have any specific projects in mind, I just wanted to get myself started.
Thanks
