Website of the Day

Another seasonal website:

Soth Pole Webcam

 

Devil's Thumb Ranch

 

Mike Charlton's Postcard Site

 

NB Mike Charlton's site isn't your run of the mill seaside postcard jobbie. Specialist aviation cards, no less:

The site is updated by Andy on or around the first day of each month. Regularly updated features include "Airport of the Month" and "Airline of the Month". All cards are taken from my own collection. Generally these cards will not be for sale or auction and are just a glimpse of the many thousands of cards I have locked away in the vaults!!

Mike is always happy for people to drop by and inspect his rarities.

 

Can't wait for the First of the Month.

 

Continuing the with the aviation theme, here's a website for all of you who like looking at pics of decommissioned Tristar L-1011 airliners, or bits of them, together with Tristar News, Tristar Tales, Tristar Specifications, etc., etc.

Train spotting now seems so last year.

 

Too true:

Satellite Spotting

 

.....and if you get bored of looking for old planes or satellites, there's always:

The Cloud Appreciation Society | Uniting cloud lovers around the world

 

Something more down to earth but still involves looking upwards:

Chimneypot Preservation and Protection Society

It has a 'Chimneypot Chat' forum section but there's only 2 posts in it !

It's a little known fact that Romans collected mats from their local boozers:

Tegestology is a Latin term defined as the practice of collecting beermats or coasters, with practitioners known as tegestologists.

There are probably a few other names for practitioners as well.

PS don't miss the fully interactive gallery of British Brewery Beermat images. Like watching paint dry. Only with cardboard coasters.

 

PS I think it's only fair to point out that some of the galleries are subscription only. But you can have a free seven day trial -and you can also 'gain free years or even lifetime membership when you upload a certain amount.'

 

I've found a better flipping site than yours:

The Official Beer Mat Flipping Website
