A simple one . . . and not even a need for a poll. What is your favourite website?

Mine has been IMDb for many years, but (for some unknown reason) I am addicted to this very site these days. Could it knock a favourite off its perch?
Nah

Depends what you mean by favourite - if it's a case of the one site I would save from an Internet house fire, then easily wikipedia. I think I spend a disproportionate amount of time here, though...

Well, I think we can leave adult sites to this thread http://www.c4countdown.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=2403 - unless of course an adult site genuinly is your favourite site. But I think most male members' blood is in their brain when they're on here.

I love apterous in the way that I imagine most parents love their kids.

Hmm. I know for a fact that you spend a lot of time fiddling with apterous.

I say. Must all threads denigrate into double entendres and outright filth? Too frigging right! :^D

Yes

Classic post.

I don't want your sloppy seconds.

For me, a non-porn browsing session rarely consists of sites other than this one, apterous and the Football365 forum.

IMDb was my favourite site too for a long time, in that (aside from Google) it was the site I used most regularly and spent the most time browsing. However, this damned beast that is C4C seems to have usurped most of my net time these days (plus a lot of time when I should be doing other things). Curse you, Charlie Reams.

Other sites I used to spend a lot of time on were richardherring.com, for my daily dose of Warming Up (although, having not kept up with it for a while, I just checked in and was distressed to find that the site appears to be broken - whichever page I select, I just get a list of "Latest Tweets"), and jammersreviews.com, which - back in the days when there were still new series of Star Trek's various offspring being shown on TV - I used to rush to as soon as each episode finished for Jamahl Epsicokhan's invariably pertinent, insightful, witty and well-written analysis.

However, if I had to pick a single favourite, it would have to be my own baby - the website that I manage for the Loft Theatre. These days, it's the only site apart from this one that I spend significant amounts of time on, and I regard it with similar pseudo-parental mixed feelings to those that Charlie presumably has for apterous.org - in other words, doting fondness seasoned with occasional alarm at its unstoppable growth.

Richard Herring's site isn't broken, Phil, and his newsletters are still coming through regularly to me. Here's a link so you can see Richard sporting his lovely Hitler moustache for Edinburgh! http://www.richardherring.com/gigs/.

Is it because I'm a girl that I don't have a favourite website? - well other than I have favourite pages stored and they are all useful....train planner, tube planner, AA route planner, multi maps, tv guide. I think it's only LoveHoney that bucks the trend. Nice girlie site for the ladies there!!!!!!!!!

It evidently was for a while this morning - it just happened to be coincidence that that's when I looked at it for the first time in ages.

What is it with this "I'm a girl" non sequitur? You might as well say "I'm a girl so I live in Whitstable" or "I'm a girl so I like Countdown", both of which would have equally little relevance (i.e. zero) to your sex.

I've blatantly whored my writing on this site before (as well as on Countdown), but one more time won't hurt. I spend most of my internet time on Uncyclopedia, a comedy version of wikipedia. Rafael Nadal and Eurovision are two good examples of my work.

Being a wiki, the quality of writing is variable, to say the least, but if you know where to look (such as the daily featured articles), there's some good stuff there.

Not counting reference sites such as Wikipedia (or the porn ), my favourite is Derek Harrison's crossword centre http://www.crossword.org.uk/.
Its message board is pretty wide-ranging, though (as here) you do need to get to know some of the regulars who take part.

Just messing Phil. Have joke....will run with it.

But as someone who can read a map, parallel park, say no to chocolate and go to sleep on an arguement - it's possible only the outside of me is a girl. Well, actually - all woman. wink wink! If I'd known you could write nonsense and read about people wanking accidently over a special needs countdown contestant - I'd have joined AGES ago.

Well said. Parallel.

This one's great for when you're feeling horny!

I quite like this one:

For all those times when you really need a video of someone pressing down on an accelerator pedal for sexual excitement.

It's because she's a girl.

I like search engines!
