Various links to pages that I visit on regular basis. I've collected a big range of favourites over the years, and add the best sites onto these pages.
Arsenal Football Club - The official home of the Gunners
- great site. ArseWeb - one of the best 'fanzine' sites out there!
England FC - A fan site dedicated to the England Football
Team. The webmaster has left no stone unturned in his
quest to create the best footy site for the national
side ever. Everything is here, latest news, match reports,
reviews, statistics, full history, women's football.
Football365 - football, football and more football.
Great site, with results, reports and comical looks
at the beautiful game.
Guardian - Well you need to make sense of the madness that is our national game.
Computing
Downloads.com - Windows 95/98/XP/2k/NT shareware, desktop themes,
icons, wallpapers, utilities Yahoo! UK - One of top search engines which I personally
use all the time for research on every subject under
the Sun! WebCrawler - If the above fails to match the desired
results this always offers a host of great relevant
links. Alta Vista - Sponsored by electronics giant Digital
this search engine offers one of the fastest servers
to deliver the most accurate and updated information
from around the web. Google - If you are unimpressed with the commercial
search engines, try Google. This site has no advertising,
just a search engine. And it is ultra fast. Check it
out! Excite - another great search engine with loads to offer.
Of course, commercially based with heavy advertising,
but the directory is organized very sensibly and has
quality and quantity with links. Mail2Web - Access your mail account from the web just
like your Hotmail Account. This service is amazing,
and it even lets you customize your login so you can
access your mail ever fast. The best thing about the
site is? Its totally FREE! Ananova - My favourite news source. Although I personally
access it mainly through WAP. The website brings the
additional feature of pictures and more detailed articles.
It brings you all the latest news and sports stories,
plus entertainment and weird and wacky stories from
around the globe. Recently acquired by the mobile network,
Orange. You are even able to voice your own opinion
on news stories with message boards and also a news
direct to your mobile phone via SMS. MSN - If you are new to the internet, this is an extremely
good place to start your surfing. On the opening page,
you have all the latest news, latest sports results
and entertainment gossip. Then there are links to take
you around to the most popular parts of the site, with
competitions, great offers and useful advice. Highly
recommended! O2 - To all those of you, who had a Genie account. Well
with BT Cellnet, merging into the big global O2 network,
this is the site you want to visit now. Still got all
the usual features, free text, address book, text alerts
etc. Plus some added bonus! Multimap - This site provides maps from around the UK.
I use it for directions across the country. All you
have to do is enter the postcode of your departure and
destination points. It provides detailed information
on how to get there.
Music
Kazaa - This is currently the most popular peer-to-peer
network. Using a piece of software called, Kazaa Media
Desktop, which connects you to the other uses and enables
you to share, audio, video, software and images. Highly
recommended! Blubster - another p2p network, gaining steady popularity.
Only sharing MP3s, it offers additional features such
as message board and news, with a interface similar
to Napster. However, currently no resume feature which
can be tedious. Although members continue to bombard
the creator to add this feature. After Napster
- Site detailing all the Peer-to-Peer clients out there.
Music Plasma - The visual music search engine. Find other artists that you should listen to.
Galaxy FM
Broadcasts across the UK on DAB, but this is the site for Birmingham's Galazy's. The best RnB and dance music!
Comedy
Weird Al Yankovic - Official homepage of the 'king
of parody'. Weird Al, takes well known popular songs,
and then changes the lyrics to create highly successful
comic parodies. For example, in the 80s, he took Michael
Jackson's, "Beat It" and created, "Eat
It", and more recently, for Star Wars Episode 1:
The Phantom Menace, he took Don McLean's, "American
Pie" and created, "Anakin Guy". I have
over 80 songs by this guy and every song is very very
funny! Yankovic.org - Fan site, which looks surprisingly like
a popular search engine. Includes various sections about
Weird Al, song lyrics, details of albums, where to purchase
merchandise and links to other fan sites. Highly recommended!
Television
BBC - This site is huge, I mean, it covers so many
exciting sites, its not a website, but a portal in its
own right. Of course there is the unrivalled BBC News
and Weather service. You will also find sites, for all
your favourite BBC programmes both television and radio,
plus forums, competitions, guides, advice. Everything
you could ever want to know. Here are a list of my favourites:
Chris Moyles
- having only started listening during my placement,
to his show on a weekday, I've been converted. Its a
great show, and I especially like the tedious link track,
played every day at 5.30pm. Check this site out for
more details. Includes details on Chris's TV show on
Five (which ran for one season) and also parody tracks
played on his show, plus his move to Breakfast.
Channel Four - Another huge site, covering all the
C4 programmes. Some of which have sites in their own
right. Lots of background information to all their programming. ITV - I can't plug two television station websites without
mentioning the rest of the flock. ITV has a good comprehensive
sports page, but the rest of the site is in need of
attention. Still a valuable, if limited resource. Sky - a mammoth website which covers everything! News
service is second to none, and so is the sports coverage!
Other
the Site - a site aimed at the youth of today, mainly
Uni students but most aspects of life as a young adult
are discussed. There are forums, advice pages. Everything
is covered, from which course to enter, finance and
also accommodation. Well worth a good look around if
you are on your way to University. Then, when you get
there, is can provide you with all the tips that you
need to survival the three or four plus years of your
course.
Movie Mistakes - instead of going to the cinema (or
watching on DVD!) for pure entertainment value, there
are some people out there, you purely go to watch the
mistakes. Silly things like, how the glass goes from
half empty to full over the course of a scene!
Friends Reunited - Have you ever wondered what happened
to that guy, who used to be top of you class back in
Primary School? Or what happened to that girl who was
a very talented musician? Well now you can! This site,
is free to join, once registered you can add your personal
profile, with details of what you are up to at the moment,
to your all the schools and colleges you attended. However,
to be able to contact, your old school friends, you
have to pay an annual fee (£5). This then gives
you the ability to e-mail whoever you choose! This is
a fantastic site! I have been in touch with several
of my old school friends, and it has been great to catch
up! Go to this site, you will be surprised how many
old flames will resurface!
Henley College It includes details of the course available,
services available for students, the town of Henley,
local businesses and institutions co-operating with
the college. Colleges I find are better than school
sixth forms because you are in a more relaxed atmosphere,
you have more free time to devote to your studies and
are given that sense of freedom, away from still being
treated like a school child in an environment full of
school children.
