The homepages of fellow Hiroshima resident David Hurley. Includes information on 3-player Mahjong, articles for learners of English, and a selection of essays on the likes of Bacon (the geezer, not the pig).

The voluminous travel diaries of globetrotting ex-toilet cleaner Paul Bradbury. From Albania to Zimbabwe via The Railway Inn, Levenshulme - if it's dodgy, he's probably been there.

Nada, a wonderful and free product that all computer owners need to download and install right now!

The subtext of this fine comedy and social commentary site is "the internet makes you stupid". Says it all, really!

Everything you wanted to know about "the philosophical and psychological relation between touch and space", but were afraid you wouldn't be able to grasp it. The academic site of my old pal Dr. Mark Paterson, egghead in residence at the University of the West of England.

The place for all things small, white, shiny and expensive: forums, tips and the latest news concerning everyone's favourite portable music player.

Apparently the place to go to discuss all things japonica, and yes, it's full of the usual trolls, losers and disaffected gaijin, but still a laugh.

What can you say? The service that made life overseas so much more bearable. All BBC radio shows available live or on demand. Now Sundays can be as they were supposed to be - with the omnibus edition of the Archers playing in the background whilst I drink a cup of tea.

No, not something from Pulp Fiction, it's a fantastic open-source graphics program that doesn't cost a penny, but delivers the goods like the Big Shiny Corporate Ones. All the stuff on this site was done with the GIMP, so if I can do it, so can you!

Are we having fun yet? Site of the world's most famous microcephalus whose surreal and Zen-like cartoon strip has delighted and infuriated millions accross the globe. Not for the staid and rational.

Forget Microshaft Frontpage and all those other fancy-schmancy homepage editors - this one does the lot, and what's more is a free open-source project. I've used quite a few HTML editors in my time, but this is one is just amazing in its power and ease of use. The conversion of ardle.net to XHTML/CSS was done entirely using this baby.
