Thie week - Peter Marsh

I have an old wooden boat kept on a half tide mooring in Bembridge – this site tells me what time she’ll be afloat and hence what train I need to catch from Waterloo to escape the City.
Within three years I want to cross the Atlantic and I can’t think of a better boat to do it in than a Contessa – the only boat of its class to survive the 1979 Fastnet disaster and recently sailed single-handled across the pond by a 15-year-old schoolboy from the Isle of Wight.
A free video jukebox, great for eccentric Bowie songs and a fab trailer for the movie where Bowie played an alien Bill Gates.
So simple it hurts. This is a great inexpensive online survey tool – great for gauging views on the latest initiative or controversial proposal. It is scary how much early 1970s sci-fi is today’s reality.
The best site for all things housing. I would say that, wouldn’t I!
So, what have I missed? Apple and i-Tunes of course (www.apple.com/itunes), John Lewis (www.johnlewis.com) – unbeatable at Christmas – and viamichelen (www.viamichelin.com) for travel routes.
