Links
I've divided these links up into sections, because the list was growing a little long. This might not make it any easier for you, because they are still fairly random. But I think 'randomly' is one of the best ways to discover some delights on the internet. I'm also keen to hear about any site you think I ought to link to. Let me know.
Also, though I've tried to include only sites that I think are suitable to be linked to my website, I don't monitor them. This means I can't make any promises about what unexpected content might crop up. So don't hold me responsible for something you find on one of these websites, OK? I'm only responsible for what's on my website. Got that? Good. Now go and enjoy yourself.
If you have anything to say to me, I'd love to hear from you. Click here to email me.
