I have just noticed Sprafa’s thread asking for help retrieving his bookmarks and it made me get off my backside and attempt something that might help this community. I am documenting as many websites as I can, that will be of use to anyone for anything, it would be great if people could contribute, just list the site and add a small description, cheers!

PS just list the site with the description, please use other threads to discuss.

PPS this shall not be a very complete list by any stretch of the imagination because I have terrible memory skills so feel free to add loads.
