Academic Links

Bank of England
A great source of info for all you budding economists out there! Download working papers and also the fabled Inflation Report from which the Bank gives a idea of the thinking behind it's decisions.If you're good enough, then you might apply to Monetary Analysis which seems to be short of a good economist or two!

The Financial Times
For up-to-date financial news, this is what you should be reading.Also the survey sections are quite informative.Those interested in Europe and the Single Currency, check out the articles by Martin Wolf.
Note that you have to subscribe to the online services for access to archive material.

BibEc and WoPEc
This site is useful in tracking down economic papers although the majority are working papers.But it's a good source nevertheless.
Note that this site is only open to academic and authorised institutions.

JStor
An excellent, though sometimes slow, source of journal articles.Has all papers for the major economic journals (Quarterly Journal of Economics, Economic Journal..) up till 1995/96 though it is constantly expanding.All papers can be downloaded though beware of the printing quality of some of these downloads. For highly technical papers, choose the larger, high-quality option when downloading.
Again this site is only open to academic and authorised institutions.

Pacific
If you're looking for exchange rate data, this site provides a comprehensive range of rates. These can be easily downloaded and tranfered to any spreadsheet for subsequent data analysis.

European Central Bank
A very comprehensive site from the monetary authority of the euro-zone. All monthly and annual reports can be downloaded from this site in pdf format. Also working papers commissioned by the ECB are available.

Ideas
One of the better sites for searching for economic articles on the web.But be warned that the search results for some topics are not that comprehensive/relevant.

Music

Ultimate Band List
Search for anything you want to know about your favourite artist at this site. Also good for guitar tab, though the accuracy of the tab varies.

Audiofind
Good search engine for looking for mp3 files of your favourite artists.

Napster
An alternative to audiofind.com. Just as good!!

Fashion Model Index
Dave's Fashion Model Index contains a wealth of info on all your favourite supermodels. The magazine index is also useful in tracking down pics.

The Chandra North Gallery on the web! For some reason a very under-appreciated supermodel but this site makes up for it. Has not been updated for a while which is a shame.Come on Orlin, we want some more pics!
Now no more!

Linda Evangelista Chateau
A very large site devoted to one of the original supermodels of that late 80s/early 90s period. In here you'll find huge array of top quality scans. If you're after a paricular Linda pic, this is the place to come!


An excellent gallery devoted to THAT model!
