Picks of the Week: 11th September 2000

Faster Pastor
Hallelujah. We at Picks Central have seen the light in the form of this terrific site from Reverend Paul Sinclair. It's definitely a Sermon from the Mounted, as the Reverend tells us of his motorbiking adventures and ceaseless attempts to promote his church. It was very nearly a case of, "this town ain't big enough for the both of us," when he used Clint Eastwood's image on a poster outside the church emblazoned with the phrase "Come to Church - Make My Day!" Bless him. Marvel at the Ulrika interview and make your play for a "Prayboy" T-shirt before riding into the sunset for Evensong.
Papa Lazarou's Pandemonium Carnival
Hello Dave. Well, even if your name isn't Dave, there'll be lots for you here as the Carnival shuffles into a village near you. Yes, this is a tribute to the enigmatic Papa Lazarou who appeared in The League of Gentlemen season two opener. Allow Papa to show you The Precious Things, customise your very own Royston Vasey Quote Clock and place your vote for who should be the next wife. Carnival Games can also be great fun, especially the fortune telling spectacular "Ask Mama Lazarou" and the bloodthirsty "Death in Royston Vasey" (warning - can induce nosebleeds).
Urban Chillers
If the Papa hasn't traumatised you enough, may we interest you in some urban chillers? These superbly crafted metropolitan myths are not for the faint of heart. Taking urban myths to their naturally spooky conclusions, these short films are supported by case files on all those stories you wished you'd never told around the campfire. And if you wish to spice up the lives of your friends you can invite them to "Get the Fear" via e-mail.
Twenty Six Pigs
After all that chilling, you may need to warm the cockles with a trip down memory lane. This is the ideal place for anyone who remembers being told off in the newsagents for trying to sneak a peek at the latest edition of The Beano. All the old titles are here, including Whizzer and Chips, Buster, 2000AD, Boy's Own, Scream and Warlord. In compiling this guide to the best British comics published in the last century, those industrious piggies have come up trumps with character profiles and images galore.
Noel Hennessy Furniture
And if all that surfing has left you dog tired, never fear. Noel Hennessy has a treasure trove of lush interiors for you to luxuriate in. At the click of a mouse button you can peruse this elegant collection of lounge lizard delights. Those with a taste for the finer things in life will find themselves putting their feet up and checking out these cool designs in no time. Truly, staring at the furniture was never this much fun before.
