Worthy Links of an Anorak (and Normal Person) Nature

Some of the sites I regularly visit...

Name	Web address	Description

Railway Eye	http://railwayeye.blogspot.com/	If you want to know the facts, the gossip or just read economically worded sniping about those in power on Britains railways, then this should be your first and only port of call.

South West Trains Official Website	http://www.southwesttrains.co.uk	Look - they employ me. What else can I say?

Railway and Travel Photographs by Paul Bigland	http://paulbigland.fotopic.net/	Full of splendid railway pictures, and the odd South American Indian thrown in for good measure.

RailChat Web Forum	http://www.railchat.co.uk	Railway staff and enthusiasts alike use this fine site, and sometimes they even exchange opinions without verbal fireworks... Almost unheard of!

Google	http://www.google.co.uk	The ONLY search engine worth bothering with.

The Southern Electric Association	http://southernelectric.org.uk/	They put a link to my site - it's only good manners that I return the favour.

UK Railpics	http://www.ukrailpics.com	James Mayl. who has an unhappy habit of yelling from coach windows (Sorry James - I've kept quiet this long!!), runs this fine photography based site. And I'm in it! It lowers the tone slightly - but only slightly.

Neil Dinnens Irish Railway Site	http://thewanderersirishrailphotospot.fotopic.net/	Ah yes - young Master Dinnen. A captain, nay, a Guiding Light in the world of Irishmen travelling the country, getting drunk and being far to enthusiastic about railways. And better yet he understands the Might and Majesty of the 3rd Rail. Top chap!!

Damon Cox's "Little bit of Everything" Railway Site	http://www.coxster.co.uk	All the railway stuff you could ever want. And even if you don't want it, it'll still be there! Browse and your leisure folks. I was particularly impressed with the "Rail Work Experience" section.

Railway Pictures by Mark Jamieson & Mark Pike	http://mark-jamieson.fotopic.net	Lots of stuff here - have a gander at the Swanage Gallery in particular!

Lawrence Hill the Bristol PSB Bear	http://www.myspace.com/lawrence_hill	No really; Lawrence was talked down from a signal post by a friendly signaller, and now lives at Bristol PSB. And he has excellent taste in theme music and holiday destinations. Have a a look, folks. You'll laugh. I did.

Boystuff - Gadgets for Big Kids	http://www.boysstuff.co.uk	Mouse to House in 24 Hours.... The inner Child that dwells so near the surface in most men , including me, that to all intents and purposes we actually are children and have to pander to our inner Adult. This is the place for boys toys....

BBC News Online	http://www.bbc.co.uk/news	Invaluable if you want to know what Sky News were reporting half an hour ago...

YouTube - Online Videos	http://www.youtube.com	Videos on almost every conceivable subject, from making Coke bottles explode to how to blend an iPod (no, really - if you don't believe me then check.)
