    So I turn on my computer after a hard days work or not and always check out the same websites. No matter what, I always end up looking at Digg for a bit of news, Skysports.com for my sports needs (supplemented with the football gossip page on BBC sport) the odd bit of Google's Irish news section and of course Boards. Afterwards I usually end up wandering aimlessly around teh interweb with StumbleUpon, which can consume hours of another wise productive persons life.

    But lately I feel I could afford to waste a bit more time, so I was wondering what are all the sites you usually check out?
