I have done a lager and a english bitter brew from coopers Lme.I have just got my hands on a 5 gallon pressure keg,any ideas how I could use it in future brews?

When brew is done fermenting, transfer beer into keg. Serve

Is it a cornelius keg? or does it use sanke? Do you have a co2 tank to go with it?

Dont know what a cornelious keg is ,sorry.I dont have co2.if I put say a pale ale in it,how would I carbonate it a bit so its not flat?

Either with sugar like you do for bottles, or with an external CO2 tank.

You can mix in priming sugar and carb but u would need a co2 tank to push and serve the beer out of the keg, also a fridge large enough to keep the keg cold....and a co2 regulator for the tank.

Oh quick disconnects for the posts, gas and beverage line as well.

Good luck!
I do both but greatly prefer kegging for my weekly drinkin brews

For 5 gallons you would use 3/4 of a cup. However, as mentioned by Johnyhitch1, You won't be able to serve the beer without a CO2 tank.

Does your keg look more like this;

?

or like this;
