You might think that the domestic registration of a three character domain name like roy.co.uk would indicate a certain amount a 'net' sophistication. Think again.
Hello Mr. & Mrs. Roy - yes we can see you.

Having received an email or two from Mr Selby, I have decided that's it's only polite of me to remove my earlier remarks and replace them with some of his own words:
"I had many friends growing up, no matter what you said about me and I am not a psycho just because I appreciate my youth or my fellow Mormons."
The Sadmaster's comments:
It's been over 5 years since I first listed this website and I can't quite remember my original comments. Surely they couldn't have been disparaging towards such an impressive creation. <cough>

Derek is the resident studio 'warm-up' entertainer for the South African series of ' WHO WANTS TO BE A MILLIONAIRE', and holder of a Guiness World Record for telling jokes for 60 hours.

Heard the one about the website? Now this is funny.
I particularly like the line in the 'references' section, "I do hope you found your trip to Maputo interesting and that Mozambique has not seen the last of you."

Imagine you could set up a fund, in the present/now, that could continue to grow for hundred of years after your death - to the time when, as is inevitable, time-travel is invented. This future pot o' gold could then fund some future entity to come and get you from your dreary present-day familiar existence and plonk you in what would probably be an entirely alien environment where you would have the social status of an 19th century circus freak.
The Sadmaster's comments:
Just $10 though... Ooh, tempting. It's like the lottery without the balls.

This site follows the now tired 'Watch us crazy kids set fire to toys and things' formula, but without the MPEGs. Instead, content is delivered via several long pages of JPEG photos with captions. Apparently I'm visitor number 377 - how sad is that?

Welcome to virtual Neverland.
The Sadmaster's comments:
My advice: never go there. Some people just never grow up. The background music from the Peter Pan page is stuck in my head, and I think I should go and have a lie down now, in a dark room.

When you work in a job where you are constantly using computers for long enough, you develop a certain anxious feeling which can pretty much only be cured by beating the hell out of an old computer or two.

Not big, not clever, and not very funny, but perfect for iamsad.co.uk

I always wondered what cheese slices were actually for.
Now I know.

Meet Mike Perkin, a man with a very sad website including such sad items as:
1. A badly implemented frame-set, incorrectly sized and with lovely frame-borders. As always there is no 'no-frames' content making this site practically unfindable - thanks for submitting this link Tom.
2. Headache inducing colour sheme. As if the horrible font and inconsistent text and background colours weren't enough, there's a kaleidoscopic rainbow animated background. Arg! My eyes!
There's no poetry, and the promised background music didn't play for me, but it's still one of the saddest sites I've seen for a while. Enjoy!

This site was recommended in December, and is an epic, moving and tragic tale of love, obsession, heartache and feline obesity.
In March of 1996, Mr. Cat weighed in at a scale-shattering 16 pounds of pure feline. They placed him on a scoop-shaped scale and he didn’t budge till all the procedures were over. It was funny to watch him on the examination table. He plopped down and didn’t even flinch when he got his shots. Meanwhile, Chuckie fidgeted and couldn’t sit still for his shots.
Bonus: From the home page of the above site: Lyssa Aja's Virtual Poetry Book
June 2004 > It looks like Mr. Cat's tribute has disappeared from this address: http://www.inil.com/users/mikeycad/catlist.html so the main link has been replaced with the like to the fab poetry. If anyone finds Mr. Cat please let me know.

This seemingly mild mannered ordinary chap is in fact an obsessive collector. There's not a single reference to career or occupation in his site, but judging by the pictures and info in the 'about me' section I don't think Tony has time for much a career.

For a while it looked like the classic sad site had disappeared from the Internet, but no. It has been superseded by The Pylon Appreciation Society
The Sadmaster's comments:
In the unlikely event that you actually get a bit bored of looking at pictures of pylons, there's a huge number of pages in the always ill-advised 'Guest Book.
My favourite guestbook entry:

I've a number of hobbies including mountain biking and power kite flying. When I get the time I catch a move on my home cinema setup. See the cycling, home cinema and power kites pages for more details.
The Sadmaster's comments:
This site was featured on IAMSAD a couple of years ago, and amused literally several people with its 'Model Boat Parts List'. I'm glad to see that even though he has a family to look after these days, Leon still finds time to keep the world up-to-date about such vital issues as his PC's components and his 'Little Cinema'. Yes, there's even pictures of his preferred cabling.

My name is Ben Schumin, and this is my little world, which I have created and continue to maintain, as I have been doing since March 23, 1996.
The Sadmaster's comments:
Sound like a menswear designer? Well he does have t-shirts with his big fat face on. And mugs.
This guy has been publishing self-obsessed, "Welcome everyone, I'm just great aren't I?" inconsequential garbage for years now. I get the feeling he pisses off all his family, and friends, (if he has any), with his online ego-petting - his Christmas present to his sister a couple of years ago was a 'Shumin Web' sweat shirt, and at the end of one of his 'essays' he talks about forcing his family members to sit in front of a computer to look at his latest work.
He does have another obsession though, and as you can probably guess from the picture, it's good old grub. Check out the 3-part 'photo-essay' (or rather ' a page with some photos but not many words') about the re-opening of a college food-hall. How can someone jabber on for so many years and not really say anything? Staggering!
