Here are my top ten websites. They are purely a reflection of my personal interests and I do not suppose any other member would choose precisely the same websites although I guess one or two are so universally popular, they would probably feature on a number of top ten lists.
BBC
bbc.co.uk, is a simply super website if you have more than a marginal interest in news, sports, business and finance, property, food and wine and travel. I find the UK News section to be invaluable as a means of keeping up to date on what is going on in dear old Blighty, the sports section is a must if you want the latest news of the Ryder Cup, the Champions League, England’s cricket tea, FI happenings, news of London Irish, and Harlequins and any other sport you are likely to be interested in. The travel reviews are great and the restaurant and food pages very informative. A must visit site.
GOOGLE
google.com. is, in my view, just about the finest search engine out there on the world wide web, The founders deserve ten out of ten for developing a truly fabulous search engine that is so efficient, speedy and emminently helpful to all intrepid surfers.The results of your searchare not only delivered so promptly, they are usually utterly reliable as well. Bravo Google.
ASHFORD TOWN FC
ashfordtownfc, co.uk is the website of Ashford Town who happen to play in the Eastern Division of the Doc Martens League. They are a semi-professional side who I support through thick and thin. Visit the website and you will find sections such as From the DugOut, Players. Reserves, Youth Teams, Last Game, Events, News, Away Teams, Message Board and Guest Book.The website is regularly updated by webmaster Steve Monk.
THE NON LEAGUE PAPER
Go to https://nonleaguepaper.co.uk if you are interested in non league soccer. Want to know the results of the Ryman League matches, who meets who in the next round of the FA Cup, who plays for Hayes FC, and recent transfers, then this is the website for you.? You can also get details of individual clubs, non League publications and so much more.
LONELY PLANET
Are you a travel buff? Do you want to really find out what travelling in Mongolia is like? Are you eager to know more about Afghanistan? Are you interested to read about the experiences-good, bad and indifferent-of other travellers? If you answered yes to these questions then go and surf https://lonelyplanet.com.
IGOUGO
This US based website is an interesting travel site which features journals on hundreds and hundreds of different destinations written by members. You will also find links to hotels, tour companies, tourism authorities, airlines and a heck of a lot more at this easily navigable site https://igougo.com.
WRITER’s MARKET
writersmarket.com provises online access, for very moderate charges, to the most current market information pertinent to writers. It gives details of over 8, 000 mrkets for both consumer publications and trade magazines. In addition there are most helpful sections on royalties, publishers, income tax, literary agents, small presses, scriptwriting, syndicates, and so much more besides.
DO*YOO
You hardly need me to tell you much about https://d*oyoo.co.uk. In my view it is the best of the comparable consumer opinion sites and is probably the best paying, most comprehensive and best organised of these sites. Sure from time to time we have our grouses and the site can improve still further but where would most of us be without it!
COOKING LIGHT
I like this US website rather a lot.It is billed as the magazine of food and fitness and the online edition, www, cookinglight.com. contains a good deal of original content not found in the print edition. Full of helpful information, tips and advice, it gets a big thumbs-up from me.
MOUTHSHUT
This is a consumer opinions site from India. Although Indian-based it has quite a number of overseas contributors from the USA, Canada, the UK, Australia, Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Pakistan, and such like and there is a good community spirit on the site. It wriggles out of paying contributors and is not always responsive to suggestions. The site is www, mouthshut.com.
There you have it -my list of top ten websites. I am sure some are known by you, one or two you might consider to be rather obscure, and perhaps several are sites you wouldn’t want to touch with a bargepole .
Thanks for reading!
