 Picks of the Week: 11th February 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?

Slack Babbath
Slack Babbath Altogether now, "Da, da, da-da-daaaaa!" Okay, so Black Sabbath is the band responsible for a squillion Beavis and Butthead air guitar solos, but they still rawk. If you missed the Ozzfest appearances by this seminal metal band, fear not. Tribute band Slack Babbath is on hand to polish up your Iron Man and prevent you from feeling Paranoid. We at Picks Central wonder how far the Babbath boys are willing to take their art however - anyone fancy a bat for lunch?
Found in Tribute Bands
 
Slades Anglo-Saxonia
Slades Anglo-Saxonia If that metal mayhem has got you all, "Grrr, tiger!" then why not pay a visit to this hairy, sweaty, sword-wielding site. Dedicated to 'Eald Anglisc ond Beowulfian matters' (that's Old English and stuff about Beowulf) the pages are extremely busy and crammed with links and images covering Anglo-Saxon history and ancient English. Old English is the name given to the germanic language spoken in Southern Britain until about 100 years after the Norman Conquest - back in the days when 'cool' probably meant you were freezing your bits off.
Found in History > Middle Ages
 
JobCentre Online
JobCentre Online Those looking for work in Northern Ireland will definitely want to check out this site. Job vacancies are broken out under eighteen different headings, making it easy to browse for different jobs just as you would in a real job centre. The listings can be a little unstable in some browsers, but the amount of information on offer makes being persistent more than worthwhile. Elsewhere on site, jobhunters will find an extremely useful links section and contacts list.
Found in Jobs
 
The Film Factory
The Film Factory A firm favourite at Picks Central is that giant billboard ad for Monsters, Inc. which proclaims, "You won't believe your eye." The Film Factory is the UK Buena Vista site and has the scoop on Monsters, Inc. and other hot releases like The Royal Tenenbaums. There's an archive section where you can get the low-down on older films like, erm, Spy Kids, a UK Box Office chart, and links to online ticketing sites. Our favourite has got to be the making of feature on Monsters, Inc. Our eye is well and truly in disbelief.
Found in Film Studios
 
I am dyslexic.com
I am dyslexic.com Those in the know rate this as one of the best sites on the Net dealing with dyslexia. If you check it out, you'll see why. The site has been put together by Barnaby, a twelve year-old dyslexic who says in his introduction, "I use a computer in school so I have been though all the things a dyslexic person goes though. On my web site you can find lots of helpful things." He's not wrong - there is a really cool section with step-by-step spelling advice and the 'What to do when it all goes wrong' part about computers will be inspiring to all sufferers. This is a colourful and informative site which will be of help to anyone visiting.
Found in Dyslexia
