Some Useful Links

The above term may be questioned as "Useful to whom?" I hope ultimately, when time permits, to add sites which you may find useful, amusing or interesting. The following sparse collection is therefore only the start.

Free Web Site | Leisure | Manx Music/Culture | Personal Sites | "The" Search Engine | Web Page Design |

PERSONAL & FAMILY SITES

pksweb.iofm.net
My other web site of a relaxed and sociable nature.
I hope here to buletin items of a more personal nature, family, friends etc
but also interesting local & other useful or amusing snippets.

LEISURE

  1. The Times Newspaper
  2. The Daily Times Crossword.
    3. Useful when you havn't had time to buy the paper, or dont care to read it, but still enjoy the crossword.
    Link 1:- Gives you the lot. Link 2:- Suposedly lets you complete the crossword on line! Since they gave their site a new makeover I havn't been able to access this with my browser. You may have better luck! It does now offer a printable version which is more useful anyway!!
