Fun Stuff
and things that wouldn't (or shouldn't) fit anywhere else!
The Infamous Exploding
Whale: save the whales -but not like this!
Have a look at our extremely cynical and tongue-in-cheek Countryside
Worker Field Identification Guide
Frogland: go there, then you will understand.
Try your luck at the Bird
Quiz.
How to tell the birds
from the flowers: marvellous, but slooow.
Wayne's Word (sic): a great site for anyone
with the remotest interest in plants. Full of weird and wonderful plant facts.

Spiders
The British Lard Marketing Board:
including the finest screensaver ever made, available for you to download now!
Naturenet Namesakes
Constructor:
this you must see. Not really countryside but a truly splendid computer toy,
vaguely related to invertebrates and life simulation, and quick to download
too. The friend who sent this link to Naturenet claims that 'it is more fun
than sex'. Well, you'll have to make your own mind up about that but one thing's
for sure, if you do it in the office at lunchtime you'll have a crowd watching
in minutes.
Some java games we find most diverting, and you can download them too:
Noughts and Crosses
(3kb).
Asteroids: a
good recreation of the classic arcade game (about 200kb).
Connect 4: we
haven't beaten it yet (about 30kb).
Java - more recent versions of Windows, including XP, don't
have Java as standard for reasons just too dull to explain. So if the above
games don't work for you, you can download Java for free if you want to play
them, and lots of other stuff, from Sun Microsystems.
