NCM – The National Coal Mining Museum for England
The National Coal Mining Museum is inbetween Wakefield and Huddersfield in Yorkshire, it’s great and it’s free. I’ve visited it several times and can recommend.
Very good museum for school children to visit.
For those of you not lucky enough to live in Yorkshire check out the virtual tours.

Le Plan de Rome

Very much a work in progress but some of the images are good – the Curia for example. It does help if you can read some French though as I’ve encountered several captions en Francais.
Update: now just in French

A 3D model of the ancient roman port of Ostia which is quite nice but is not as interactive as I would like. Some interesting info though.
Day of Defeat: WW2 FPS

Simply the best online first person shooting game on the planet. I play it regularly but I’m still not that good – time to renew my membership of the ‘Not terribly Good Club of Great Britain’. As Viz comic said:
‘The British are the best at coming second. In fact if there was an Olympic event for coming second, we’d get the silver medal.’

It may be a little out of date but this site contains the text of Rogers Profanisaurus – the Viz comic’s collection of common (and made up) British swear words. Warning! Swearing, Profanity, Obscenity, and Sexist, Oh and did I mention Offensive?

Not a patch on Wikipedia, incomplete or out of date entries on the subjects I am interested in – e.g. China
Update: no surprises it’s no longer online, no wayback machine link because it wasn’t good enough to start with
YouGov – What the World Thinks
YouGov is an Internet polling site and I like it as I get ‘paid’ for filing in their surveys, but there is a catch, they only pay you once you have a large enough credit.

If you like to roam the web bear in mind that if you were in the People’s Republic of China you couldn’t go where you liked. Find out if your favourite site is blocked in China – if you like news or ‘Adult’ content then it probably is.
