Dead Singer
OK, so I met this bloke Warren through a moving service in London; he was pretty cool. And he has a band. And this is it.
Gingerbeer
A lesbian resource including messageboards and chat. Aimed predominately at London lesbians but of interest to dykes the world over.
IACCM
International Association of Contract & Commercial Management (IACCM). A wealth of resources for Contract & Commercial Managers. Includes a jobs board.
Meetup
A really good way to meet new peeps who have similar interests. You can even start your own meetup group if you can't find what (or whom) you're looking for. You'll find everything here from the sublime to the ridiculous.
Shepherds Bush Empire
Not sure how I feel about a) the fact that it is now the 'O2' Shepherds Bush Empire, and b) the lack of apostrophe, but otherwise a legendary music venue, with an ambience and line-up that is pretty damn perfect
Sinclair Stratton
Art for animal lovers. San Diego, California based watercolour artist.
Sunsail
I did my RYA 'Competent Crew' sailing course in September 2008. Sunsail is one provider of yacht schools, flotilla holidays, and private yacht charters. Check them out!
The Script Factory
Training, resources, events, and social forum for established and budding screenwriters. Based in SoHo, London, but useful for film buffs everywhere.
Viet Hoa
Probably the best Vietnamese restaurant in London: cheap as chips, consistent food, lacklustre service - but at these prices, who cares!
