Friends and other sites I like
This page contains links to some of my friends sites, sites by people I otherwise know and sites I basically just like. If you have a web site on a similar topic to mine and would like to see it here, please use the contact me form to let me know it exists and I'll have a look.
Oh, obviously these are all external sites which I have no control over, so you visit them at your own risk.

Random sites
- Scottish Blogs
- It's a directory of Scottish people who have blogs, or people who have blogs about Scotland. Since I'm featured there I thought I should probably add it.

- BeautifulSimplicity.net
- This is a web site I found totally at random (via Scottish Blogs - its listed after mine), it belongs to a girl who used to write articles for the Daily Record a wee while ago, and since I mentioned her on my blog years ago and her ramblings in the paper kept me amused on my way to university, here's her site.

Just for fun
- Weeble & Bob - Weebles Stuff
- A flash animation comic following "the everyday happenings of weebl and sometimes weebl's friend bob". Basically 2 white egg shaped creatures living in a pink world, but strangely funny and addictive after you've watched a few.

- Dilbert
- Yes its the geek in me. Scott Adams comic strip 'dilbert' published daily follows the adventures of 'Dilbert' as he works in a faceless corporation with incompetent management.

- Angry Alien Productions, Sase and Topsie
- Another site of flash animations only this time its 30 second re enactments of popular movies by bunnies. How can this not be funny :-)
