It’s simply the coolest, most unusual stuff you can buy online. Much of it is vintage and they even stock some of the best music you wouldn’t hear elsewhere. Added to which they are the nicest people to deal with.

The gold standard of information for the modern age. There are millions of articles on anything and everything you could ever think of, mostly stuff you’d have never thought of but will be glad that someone else did.

Known as PubMed, this site stores details of almost every scientific research project ever carried out. I use it for my own research for all books and articles.

The Oregon State University site is a comprehensive guide to nutrition and food. It’s quite formal in its presentation but preferable to the alternative as its clear and authoritative.

Ok, I am not a girl, but all I hear is how clever this one is. I checked it out, it is, and I want a toptipsforboys now please. The book version of the site has just been published too.

I know this is my site, but I am proud of it and grateful to the people that keep it up to date and make sure that every day there is something new on it.

Living in one of the most exciting cities in the world means that there’s always something happening. This site is the best way to find out what you could be doing. It lists everything from events to movies, comedy to kids things, always with accurate information and directions. It’s a daily must for me.

I love the news but cant see the point in waiting for it. I look at this site a couple of times a day at least.

She is one of my best friends and I love that she has her own cool site at 70 years old.
