Webs and dragons

lake a stroll with us through the little side roads of Iaulage, the diversions and detours, the quirky, he quixotic and the downright strange...

)ri the Margin, innocent young news-based column that it is, is ;till constantly amazed at the stuff you can find out there on the nternet. Among the eye-popping, and indeed eye-watering mages lurking out there (speaking of which, we hear not veryone was sold on the concept of topless dancers at the ecent RHA conference and no, we won't be taking you up )ri that offer, thank you Mr Beevor) there are proper websites ledicated to serious subjects.

(ant to know how to make napalm in your kitchen? There's a ecipe. Want to know how to fiddle your tax statement? It's out here. Want to buy some dodgy male potency pills that may )rmay not be put together out of sawdust, crushed horse ranquifisers and blue food dye? They're available and cheap Is well. Want to join the UK's premier Ford Transit owners :3Iub? Well, no, neither did we, but assuming there are people )ut there who might, we thought we'd give the website a plug www.transftvanclub.co.uk.

It's not our particular cup of tea (we're over at the home of /auxhall's gift to the car industry at wwwchevettes.corn) but nre're assured by those who know that its collection of Transit )ictures is second to none. It's also managed the rather odd lchievement of appointing Radio 2 DJ Sarah Kennedy as its ionorary president, so it must be doing something right.

Speaking of oddities, check out this effort from PooleJased Wyvern Cargo. We're all for celebrating your corporate dentity and appreciate that with Wyvern ("a mythical twoegged winged dragon" it says here) in your name you're likely o follow a Tolkein-esque theme, but we can't but wonder if this sn't taking things a little far. Not least is the fact that having this Aver beast looming out in front of your headquarters is likely o scare the hell out of any visiting customers (actually we think t looks rather splendid and we'd like to wish Wyvern Cargo a dappy 30th Birthday).
