We hate broken links so if we have any
we would be very grateful if someone would tell
us (we do check them ourselves as well).
If your site is here, please tell
us
if you move.
If you have a site which may be of interest to our
visitors, please tell
us about
it.
The
Houses of Parliament site is one of those sites
which I'm glad I know about but may never revisit. It lists M.P.s both
alphabetically and by constituency, gives online access to various government
papers - all sorts of things which may be useful one day (but not necessarily
today).
Another useful government site is the Open
Government site, which has all sorts of reports,
articles and information from all manner of government departments;
for example, The
Office of Fair Trading pages can be found
here. The pages are available in frames and non-frames versions (I prefer
non-frames, which downloads very quickly most of the time).
Another useful site is the Internet
Public Library, with thousands of electronic
books, covering all sorts of subjects.
More electronic books can be found at Project
Gutenberg, which has a vast selection of
all sorts of texts including such varied offerings as Little Women,
Pride and Prejudice, the poems of WIlliam Blake, Ambrose Bierce's Devil's
Dictionary (if you have never encountered this before, do try it), plus
works by - among many others - Agatha Christie, Zane Grey, Beatrix Potter,
Arthur Ransome, Bertrand Russell and Sun Tzu.
The Encyclopaedia
Mythica contains all sorts of mythologies,
from Iroquois Indian to ancient Persian, and more are being added all
the time.

The Archers
Addicts The Archers is, I think, the longest-running
soap opera in the world. It is older than I am, and I have grown up
alongside some of the characters as my mother used to listen on a Sunday
morning. I'm still very fond of it and thanks to the BBC's "Listen
Again" service (the best thing on the Net in my opinion) anyone
can listen to the Archers, no metter where in the world they live.
I've only just discovered The
Dilbert Zone. Dilbert is the central character
in a comic strip about organisations, management and the world of work.
As Dilbert is comic-strip based, the site has lots of graphics and can
be slow to download but well worth the wait.
More humour at the Private
Eye site.
McGonagall Online
If you like films - or if you are studying films -
you may find the Script-O-Rama
site of interest, as it contains over 600 TV and film scripts, including
2001, Bladerunner, Star Wars and three of the Star Trek films.
CNN
Travel Guide
The
White House
The Virtual Wall - a virtual rendition of the Vietnam Memorial with some of the many stories of those who died, many of them tragically young.
National
Geographic Online; lots to explore when you
want a change from cameras (as if!).
Web
Pages That Suck, a site which looks at some
of things web page designers should not do.
Web
Shareware, try Tucows where there is a good
selection of both PC and (more importantly for us) Mac shareware. Look
out for five-cow software if you want the best.
Currency
Converter; check prices by changing any currency
into any other. I admit I did not try anything difficult (dollars into
pounds to check my amazon.com bill) but it was so easy to use and quite
quick.
