 Picks of the Week: 28th January 2002

Welcome to Picks of the Week for the UK and Ireland! If you have a suggestion for a cool, useful,
or quirky site you'd like to see included in a future edition, why not send us an email?

Formula1.com
Formula1.com The richest sport in the world is currently gearing up for another season of glamour, girls, champagne, and the odd bit of fast driving. The first race takes place in a month's time in the sunny climes of Melbourne, where Michael Schumacher will be looking to repeat last year's victory. You can stay abreast of all the news from testing with Formula1.com, as well as team and driver profiles, calendar, and loads more. In the humble opinion of the Picks Team, this is easily one of the best sport sites around. Hands up who thinks David Coulthard is going to be Champ this year.
Found in Formula One
 
Pubclick
Pubclick London can be a big and confusing place, even for folks who live there. So a few pointers are always useful, especially in the nightlife sphere. This handy little site has reviews and listings for a variety of bars, pubs, and clubs all over the city. You can search by types of drinks served, scene, and area, and although the results are sometimes a little wayward (e.g. the first hits for a search on Live Sports and North London were for bars in the West End), it's still a decent way of finding new venues in the capital.

Family Records
Family Records Genealogy is becoming an increasingly popular hobby in the UK. For anyone thinking of researching their family background, this would be an excellent place to start. It's easy to navigate and presents a wealth of information and links to family history sites on the Web. You'll find details of all the Home Nations' Archives and Public Record Offices, as well as those from the India Office. While there are no records of specific families on the site itself, it will point you in the right directions.
Found in History > Genealogy
 
Mistral's Millennial Mash
Mistral's Millennial Mash It's not often that a personal homepage makes it as a Pick of the Week, but then again, it's not often that a soft toy makes a web site. This one from stuffed horse Mistral is certainly imaginative - it includes some of his deep philosophies, favourite expressions (e.g. "waaschy waasch" and "nip nay nayle"), and exotic holiday snaps. We were particularly impressed with his photographs from Nepal. He sure gets around, this Mistral.
Found in Stuffed Toys
 
6 Nations Rugby
6 Nations Rugby The first Six Nations matches took place at the weekend and it's shaping up to be a good tournament already. Unless you are Welsh, Scottish, or Italian, of course. It's certainly one of the most exciting and passionate sporting contests around, and if you're looking for stats, team news and match dates, this site will provide it all and more. The Irish had the biggest win on Sunday, but will have a big test away to tournament favourites England in their next match.
