I get what you say about resources. But I went doing a bit of reserach on less companies paying dividends:
"We observe that distribution rates in Europe are higher than in most other regions," he said. "Other companies in other cultures are more concerned with either building up cash on the balance or growing the business."
"Many of these European companies have double-digit increases every year over 20- and 30-year periods," said Wallington. "That's not something that's ever talked about. If you reinvest those dividends, the compounding you can get is phenomenal."

I honestly don't care about the sector, to me it's more about "do I use it, do I understand how it makes money", if yes, then I tend to be interested. So oil, tobacco, drinks, etc, it's all the same.

Some ideas: Diageo, Eaton Corp, Total, RDS, BP, Deutsche Bank, Sanofi, Rio Tinto, Allianz, Vodafone, etc. I'm not talking about valuations, you'd have to check, these are just ideas thrown out quickly that I know pay solid dividends but I haven't studied any of them, don't know their pay out ratios, div increases, P/E, etc.
PS: How could I forget VW!! This is the greatest of times to buy this amazing company!
some other ideas: Siemens, Nestle
