My Bookmarks...
-
NEWS
ALDAILY - good selection of articles from
various sources, and links to international media and noteworthy websites.
- TALKING COCK -
refreshing take on Singapore news. Quite like
THE ONION or the lesser-known
THE CYNIC, and the commentary of
NEED TO KNOW. Not to forget
PR Watch - unspins the spin doctoring for
those without the time!
- LANGUAGES
BBC and
ABOUT.COM are free and absolutely
invaluable for European languages: trust me!
CONJUGUEMOS is good conjugation practice. And for free translation of
chunks of text,
FREE TRANSLATION or
BABELFISH. Not forgetting the
excellent multi-lingual DICTIONARY and
the verb-translation site WORD
REFERENCE. For the slightly-anal,
ENGLISH WORDS
- MUSIC
SOUNDS
ECLECTIC - for interesting streaming music from Californian radio station
KCRW.
- FOOD For
Asian recipes and general commentary, try
ASIAFOOD, the more 'fusion'
ASIACUISINE, and for a
dose of chinese CULTURE
behind the food. Excellent
SINGAPORE recipes here, if one manages to overcome the cringe factor.
-
SUPERPLONK reviews the wines sold at UK supermarkets,
ANDYHAYLER reviews
restaurants worldwide (but be warned: corny music plays on the site), and the
OBSERVER FOOD MONTHLY
is great fun to read (despite Nigel Slater).
- TRAVEL cool,
comprehensive RAIL travel site. Rail
travel for Germany on BAHN.de.
- FRANCE
PARIS-ANGLO provides useful
commentary for the foreigner in Paris, as is the less personal
PARIS FRANCE GUIDE. French
food portal also pretty good.
Lots of deals and online booking for rail travel in France on
SNCF.
- GAY Mildly
invigorating independent gay FORUM,
gay TRAVEL guide, gay
Barcelona,
British boys,
German boys and
Berlin,
French boys,
Indian boys, Singapore boys,
Rio de janeiro,
Scandinavia,
Poland. My
god, fun, innit, seeing what these guys get up to around the world!
- FRIENDS
AVI
DANNY
- MISCELLANEOUS
DON'T BLOW BABY - for when you have got
a lot of free time to sift through the pile of weird links.
ROBERT LENKIEWICZ
paints interesting huge paintings.
