Like local said go to localbitcoins.com - create an account, then put in the amount you want to buy and it will list sellers. Select one, I used dutchbitcoinbroker as he was the cheapest and had positve feedback. Sent him a bank transfer and he then transfer the bitcoins into your wallet.
Then go to btc-e.com and create an account, click on finances, then where it says btc click deposit. It will give you a long code, use this code to send from your wallet on localbitcoins.
Will take a while for them to be transfered, took mine 2 hours. Then use the bitcoins to buy ltc.
"I'm having to run some mad script to send bitcoins to people, if I didn't know the command line at all - I wouldn't be using coins as much as I have been tbh.
^ one good reason to buy litecoins."
selling seems easy as buying yh i just do the reverse ini
n for like a few hundred quid it aint worth backing up in an offline wallet is it carlos? / what can happen as long as i dont get phished

wonder what the future for all these cryptocurrencies will be. Is it worth looking into namecoin, novacoin, terracoin etc.

humans don't understand the following
"I'm having to run some mad script to send bitcoins to people, if I didn't know the command line at all - I wouldn't be using coins as much as I have been tbh.
^ one good reason to buy litecoins."
