This page has some general links that take my fancy at the moment. For Philately
links please see under the appropriate section of the web site.
Fun Stuff
One site always guaranteed to be entertaining and raise a smile is Spank
The Monkey. When he's not working stupidly long hours at a clients
site Spank seems to spend all his free time out and about being
entertained. His reviews covering art, theatre, music, videos, etc. are
always very honest. This makes for especially entertaining reading if he
doesn't like something! The letters page even has some feedback from the
subjects of his reviews.
Being a sad computer techy I obviously love
Dilbert
cartoons and am a fully paid up member of DNRC (okay, so it's free). If you
don't know what DNRC is you'll have to visit the web site to find out.
Cartoon strip of the day, archive and lots of merchandise.
The Gallery of Regrettable Food
is a food lovers nightmare. This site has a collection of old recipes that
fall into the category of "It seemed like a good idea at the
time". Looking at them now you wonder how they ever thought they
would be appetising to anybody. Anybody with a sense of smell or taste
anyway. A lot of them don't exactly look good either! My parents are
both wonderful cooks but even they have old cookery books and pamphlets in their
collections that bear a striking resemblance to some of those showcased here.
Good Causes
The
Hunger Site donates free food each time you visit their page containing
their list of sponsors and more if you actually click-through to the sponsor
sites themselves. It doesn't cost you anything and only takes a few
seconds a day to make a couple of mouse clicks.
The
Rainforest Site is a related, but less well known site. The principle
is just the same as for The Hunger Site except in this case your mouse click
results in an area of rainforest being purchased and protected.
