Best way to use off camera flash...?

[slicendice]

I'm looking for a cheap 'n cheerful way of being able to use my flash off camera. I know the poshest way would be to use infra-read/radio controlled type stuff....but that's way out of my price range and not really necessary for my needs at the moment.

All I'm thinking of trying is some simple product type photography, so I don't need anything too clever - just something fairly straight forward and reliable.

Anyone got any recommendations?

Thanks!
