Due to a really shit turn of events I've suddenly got a lot of spare time on my hands when I expected to be very busy. But I now also a rubbish attention span so I struggle with reading books. I've been listening to a lot of audible and podcasts.

Can you recommend any websites which are interesting or even better funny for me to get stuck in to?

Ohh I could do with some of those myself tonight!

I usually find myself on here, The classics are particularly enjoyable!

I've also been working through this thread I stumbled across on Digital spy. It's taking me months because I follow links and google things but interesting to me anyway...if your into that kinda thing of course!

Also look at this one occasionally for a bit of fun and gossip. (maybe not all true but fun none the less!)

I used to have loads of sites I could spend hours on, unfortunately they are all saved onto my desktop PC which I don't have access too right now! Sad

Depends on your interests I suppose...anything in particular?

Pinterest... Steals your life! All sorts of things lead me into all sorts of things - I'll go on looking for a recipe for soup and an hour later I'm looking at craft ideas for Christmas or pictures of kittens with their tongues out

Wikipedia had the same effect.

I can lose hours at a time on Sporcle. Particularly baby name quizzes, they get strangely addictive Blush

Abbey Road Crossing cam.

PinkysEars · 09/01/2019 19:17

I like Stumble Upon.
Agree with PP about Sporcle for quizzes.
GeoGessr is enjoyable.

British Pathe
Flight Radar
Retronaut
Things Organised Neatly (bit niche).
