What to do when a geometry is invalid in QGIS?

Where do you put the centroids in olygon?
There is a P olygon centroids option in the Vector/Geometry Tools menu. This will create centroids at the weight point of the vertexes of the polygon. So it can be outside the polygon in a concave or multipart case. Realcentroid will place the point always inside the polygon.

How to use centroid within selection in QGIS?
Our initial setup is a postcode dataset, where we want to extract all of the ones that are mainly within Glasgow City Council. The boundaries are not the same but are roughly the same.

Can a centroid within be used for a postcode?
A centroid within should work great. In this image the red lines are our postcodes, and the yellow area is the highlighted Glasgow City polygon. We are going to cheat slightly by using SpatiaLite, which is a stand alone, single file, spatial database.
