Picks of the Week: 14th August 2000

It's that time of year again when nervous teens are chewing their pencils down to the lead in anticipation of those all-important A-level results. For many, Thursday will determine whether they'll be studying at university or the School of Life. If you don't get the results you hoped for, never fear, Clearing 2000 will send you an email every day telling you about clearing vacancies in your chosen subject.
If you plan to give it some welly as a student then you should choose the right footwear. Probably the best way to get through several years of pub-crawls, protest marches, and rave-ups is with the student classic Doctor Martens. This site features virtually every style and colour of boot known to man - everything from the 'Robert Smith' shoegazer to the 'Alexei Sayle' put-the-boot-in model.
Cyber-savvy students might prefer to hotfoot it over to The Electric Shoe featuring Trevor Baylis OBE, inventor of the clockwork radio. Apparently, plans are afoot to tap into the power of the heel so that you can charge your mobile whilst taking a stroll. Trevor will test his technology by calling Tony Blair from the Namibian Desert during a 100km trek. We'll all be wearing them next year, mark our words.
By now you should nearly be ready to enrol, but there are a few finishing touches to add. Beer money is going to be tight, and a free extra pint might come in handy if you're getting a round in. Those nice people at Hogshead also have student offers, a handy pub finder, and general beeriness.
But if you really want to impress your new colleagues, wow them with your inspired boogying at the fresher's ball. Little will they know that you've cadged it all from Dancing Paul. Watch, listen, and learn as Paul does the jiggy and booty in a variety of exotic locations. You'll be cutting some rug in no time.
