http://drop.io/

Drop.io is a simple file drop. You create an arbitrary directory name on their site and upload files directly into it. Share the resulting URL with anybody else and they can grab any of those files. You don’t have to go through all kinds of complicated steps to set things up; you don’ t even have to register to take advantage of the service. They’re not particular about what you upload, so you can use it to share text files, documents, images, audio, or just about anything else.

Nobody could ever accuse me of being a fan of the Royal Family, but I couldn’t pass up the chance to see the Royal Yacht Britannia. The yacht was retired in 1997 and is now open as a museum piece. It took us a good couple of hours to complete the tour which was well worth the £10.50 entrance fee. Honest . It was really interesting! The official website : http://www.royalyachtbritannia.co.uk/

Everyone loves BBCi player right? … well SeeSaw looks pretty good too. Programmes from BBC , 4OD & Five all in one place. OK, theres some ad sponsorship to put up with, but its only a small inconvenience.
