Useful internet sites

[SET 18]

I thought that, as we are all of a similar ilk, we might like to post some suitable or informative or just plain enjoyable websites which we use often. I certainly find that most of my useful sites have come from friends' suggestions and so I thought we might like to offer some around.

Before anyone mentions that it is not much to do with flying or Pilots; I know. And yes, I know it is not a rumour either.
For the record, I use <a href="http://www.multimap.com" target="_blank">www.multimap.com</a> all the time; it has rendered my road map in the car completely obsolete. Has anyone got any others which they might like to offer? I am sure most of us would just like the clean ones!!!
