moshimonsters
Moshi Monsters is a free online game for kids, in which they adopt a monster and look after it. Kids whose parents give us their approval can become members on our site, and can adopt a Moshi Monster. Kids care for their monster by solving puzzle games, which earn their monster virtual rewards called Rox. Kids can spend Rox on virtual items like food, furniture and other treats and toys for their monster. Over time their monster will increase in level, be able to visit new locations in Monstro City, and earn all kinds of in-game rewards for playing. Monster owners will also be able to make friends with other owners and leave messages on their pages.

Zopa
 Zopa is a site which enables members to lend and borrow money off each other (Social Lending) instead of using banks or building societies. The rates offered are very competitive for both lenders and borrowers as the business operates without the large overheads of traditional banks and also claims to make less of a profit margin.
Borrowers are credit checked with only the top 40% of applicants getting approval to proceed further. There are two types of borrowers and the lenders can decide which bracket they want to lend money to. The lender sets the amount of money they are willing to lend, the rate and the length of time the loan will be paid back.
Members are allowed to borrow up to £15000 and can lend up to £25000. Lenders have their risks spread over a portfolio of loans. Borrowers pay a 1% exchange fee to Zopa up front.

There are also the most popular searches, new listings, new photo's, recent obituaries, the top contributers and posthumous reunions. www.findagrave.com
Betfair
 Betfair is the world's leading betting exchange, a concept it pioneered.
All bets on Betfair are placed there by users who either want to bet for a selection or outcome in the normal way (back), or bet against a selection or outcome (lay). Bets are matched between people with opposing views.
When you "back" a selection (be it an individual, a team, horse, dog or other), you are betting that it will win. This is just like betting with a conventional bookie.
When you "lay" it, you are betting against it winning. For example, if you're betting in a market on which team is going to win the Premiership and you lay Man Utd, you offer odds to other punters who wish to back Man Utd. If Man Utd don't win, then you pick up the backer's stake. If Man Utd wins, then you pay out. This is what bookmakers traditionally do.
Although Betfair knows who is on each side of every bet matched through the exchange, you never know who you are betting against. Your privacy and the confidentiality of your bets is maintained by Betfair's secure site.
If you want better odds than are currently available, you can place an order for a better price, but be realistic because there has to be somebody prepared to lay the bet at those odds, and vice versa.
Take a look at the odds before an event and you will see them change as Betfair members back and lay their bets. The odds often improve nearer to the off as the number of people in the market increases.
Lulu.com
 Have you ever wanted to publish your own book? Lulu.com removes the major barriers associated with the process. Books can be printed or just made available online for a fee.

Banksy
 Banksy is a well-known yet pseudo-anonymous English graffiti artist. It is believed that Banksy is a native of Yate (near Bristol[ and was born in 1974, but there is substantial public uncertainty about his identity and basic personal and biographical details/ However, according to Tristan Manco, Banksy "was born in 1974 and raised in Bristol, England. The son of a photocopier engineer, he trained as a butcher but became involved in graffiti during the great Bristol aerosol boom of the late 1980s." His artworks are often satirical pieces of art which encompass topics from politics, culture, and ethics. His street art, which combines graffiti with a distinctive stencilling technique, has appeared in London and in cities around the world.Banksy's stencils feature striking and humorous images occasionally combined with slogans. The message is usually anti-war, anti-capitalist, anti-establishment or pro-freedom. Subjects include animals such as monkeys and rats, policemen, soldiers, children and the elderly. He also makes stickers (the Neighbourhood Watch subvert) and sculpture (the murdered phonebox), and was responsible for the cover art of Blur's 2003 album Think Tank.
Banksy has published a "manifesto" on his website. The text of the manifesto is credited as the diary entry of one Lieutenant Colonel Mervin Willett Gonin, DSO, which is exhibited in the Imperial War Museum. It describes how a shipment of lipstick to the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp immediately after its liberation at the end of World War II helped the internees regain their humanity.
uglyfootballers.com
 Uglyfootballers.com is an amusing look at football players blessed with slighly more footballing ablility than good looks.
Ugly football teams have been compiled including an all time world cup 11, an all time England 11 and premeirship teams for each of the last few seasons. The players are not the only ones to be targeted, there are sections for referees, streakers and ugly fans.
As well as this there is a lookalike section (Alan Hansen is the spitting image of Captain Scarlet), and a beauty and the beast area for ugly footballers wags. Finally you can play "uglyfootballer trumps" against the computer and try to make the high score table.
