| Just
a few others
that I visit which may not fall into any particular
category - the page is probably more for my use than anyone elses
but feel free to browse.
Visionary
Places
Fine digital artist's work on display
Radio2
Sounds of the Sixties is unmissable but, of course, I do miss
it from time to time and the Listen Again feature is brilliant.
Johnnie Walker used to make one almost look forward to delays
on the drive to or from work and can still be heard from time
to time
The
X files
whether or not you like the series, the site is a truly excellent
example of the best modern design
Machin
definitive stamps
The AHI machin stamp catalogue lists over 500 of these stamps
and has illustrations of each value and most colours to assist
collectors. Bearing mind that a 1/2p stamp may be worth over
£50 and a 31p over £100, this site is worth a
visit for investors and collectors alike.
Stanley
Gibbons
The world’s best-known stamp dealer. Not necessarily
the cheapest place to buy but virtually everything ever issued
postally anywhere in the world should be listed in this new
on-line catalogue. Strangely, I’m not finding it easy
to locate some of the rarer items listed in my own catalogue
- hence the use of the word ‘should’ above.
Pirate
Radio
Way back in 1967 the best music was played
on Radio London and Radio Caroline by djs broadcasting from
boats offshore. That's where you could have found Johnnie
Walker, Kenny Everett, Tony Blackburn, Emperor Rosko, Alan
Freeman, Keith Skues and so many who later became household
names. The Labour Government effectively blew them out of
the water and gave us Radio One. I've voted Conservative ever
since.
Babelfish
Translate short chunks of text on-line, free, instantly. Many
languages - an amazing resource
The
Prisoner
An addict of the 60s tv series, I find a lot of useful stuff
here about No6 and the production
Pooh
The original, British, illustrations, not the American crap
Peanuts
Original illustrations
The
Simpsons
Good resource for info and images from the series
Twin
Peaks
Rare gallery of screen shots from the TV series
My
nextdoor neighbour
Adrian Pinckard's excellent images on display
His
nextdoor neighbour
I also managed to get something on the same site, and again
here
Nobody
here?
Strange but fascinating and often very
amusing example of offbeat design
