Now we go to a site that you will keep going back to ( we hope ) - www.lozian.co.uk
Well I would like to think you would keep coming back. No site appeals to all, but I hope you will find something of interest to you, at some of the sites mentioned. As mentioned earlier, give me the address's of interesting sites, and if I find them as such, the details of the site address will be included in the lists here.
ooooOOOOoooo
Most of us at some time or another, have been to an auction, and kept a low profile - www.ebay.co.uk
This on site auction is absolutely brilliant if you are buying or selling. You must register to sell, but you can browse for items and get a feel of the site without registering. On line help is geared to assisting you at the place you call it. You can set up your own Ebay page, to reflect what you are doing. If you are selling, you can watch the item as it progresses through the auction. If you are buying you can keep an eye on a particular item. All in all a site which has a lot going for it. Worth a look, even if only to browse.
ooooOOOOoooo
If you are a nature documentary and animal lover, this is for you - www.bbc.co.uk/nature
At this address, hosted by the BBC, everything you ever wanted to know about nature programs and plenty of other stuff as well. There is an option to subscribe, to be sent a weekly newsletter, keeping you up to date on what's going on in the realms of nature programs. This site is definately recommended for the nature lover.
ooooOOOOoooo
Next we have a site that will have you coming back for more, more, and maybe more - www.fourmilab.ch/earthview
If you have an interest in Astronomy, this site is in a league of it's own. You can view the Earth from the Moon, From the Sun or from a Satellite at a fixed distance from the Earth. The pictures are absolutely magnificent. Some of the pictures take some time to come in depending on when you access the site. Browse around and you will be well rewarded for your efforts. Particularly try the zoom in facility, specially over spots like Mt. Everest or the Panama canal etc. I keep going back for another look.
ooooOOOOoooo
On the same subject of Astronomy, what about this one - www.telescope.org
Here, you can instruct this unmanned astronomical telescope named The Bradford Robotic Telescope, to go and take a picture for you and email you when it is ready. The Astro buffs among you will be aquaint with the jargon at this site, and you are obliged to register and join the queue for your request to be processed. But if you require a particular picture say of a fancied celestial body, this is the place to come. There is also an extensive catalogue of previous requests and the results. Site in process of being overhauled as of 22/12/2002 and will not be in use until a date to be declared later.
ooooOOOOoooo
This is one of these places that you wonder why you didn't think of it - www.g-k-b.fsnet.co.uk
"Granny Knows Best". What this site is all about is thousands upon thousands of tips and advice on practically anything. Worth a look especially if you have a particular query e.g. How best to remove coffee stains from a carpet ?. Very extensive database here. Try it.
ooooOOOOoooo
If you have children or someone with an inquisitive mind, this is for you - www.howstuffworks.com
This site has a very powerful search facility. Type in a word or words relating to what you want to know about e.g. "Refrigerators", and the level of detail about the item must be seen, to be believed. With plenty pictures, animations sometimes and in depth analysis of the subject in layman's terms, you can glean extensive knowledge on almost anything that "works". Try "Car Alternator".
ooooOOOOoooo
This is only one of many airline sites - www.qantas.com.au
It can be somewhat reassuring, if you have friends or relations on an internal or long haul flights, to be able to find out if the flight is progressing as planned or if it has been delayed etc. If you know the flight number, you are halfway there. Be guided by the help screens at most sites. Beware of time zones. Airlines tend in the main, to use local times. So you need to know the time difference at both the departure and arrival points. For example someone flying from Los Angelos to Auckland. Can be very handy this site. This site has links to other airline operators.
ooooOOOOoooo
