Default Post your favourite/most useful website

What is your favourite website, or are there any that you think are amongst the best on the web? Maybe they are very basic, but extremely handy.

I reckon the BBC Website has to be my favourite.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/

EDIT: OK Wendy, excluding the website we are currently on!

That's one of the best Ozzie websites I've come across ( so to speak).

Just remembered another good-un. One of the best.

Apart from my own sites, the only other ones I really access a lot are the DIAC site and the TRA site. (Yes, I know I'm sad)

Being close to the knuckle is the whole point.

Any sites to contribute yourself Mr/Ms Fingers?
