Entertainment in Wales Well girls and boyos, as you may or may not know, Saint David's Day is celebrated on March 1st. What better way to explore the red dragon than with this fabby Welsh site? The site makers have built an entertainment directory listing a diverse range of musicians, performers, and facilities like bouncy castles and venue security. Elsewhere, you'll find other useful Wales-related links and a guide to getting listed if you are in the entertainment game. So if you're getting ready to mark the event with a party on Friday, you might want to pay this one a visit. Found in Wales > Entertainment

Gloucester's Former County Asylums Okay, so it might not have the snappiest title in the World Wide Web, but Gloucester's Former County Asylums really is worth a visit. It is, of course, common knowledge that we at Picks Central are no strangers to those funny jackets that fasten at the back. We spent many happy hours perusing the history of these monuments to the treatment of the insane. The site covers both Horton Road and Coney Hill hospitals with detailed histories and photo galleries past and present. And did you know you'd have to fork out £2 18s 6d for one of those funny jackets in the 1800s? Straight up. Found in Mental Health History

Cockney Rhyming Slang Cor blimey guvnor! Would you Adam and Eve it? An entire site dedicated to that fine art of Cockney rhyming slang. So, have a Jam Tart, use your Uncle Ned and have a Butcher's Hook at the English to Slang/Slang to English dictionary. Visitors will no doubt marvel at the sometimes baffling array of oddball phrases on offer here, but just think how you'll save Chevy Chase by knowing what an Auntie Ella is! Reader be warned - some of the words here are on the wrong side of risque, but if you didn't have a Danny La Rue why Ronnie Barker was always harping on about Bristols in the hit comedy show 'Porridge', at least you'll know now. Enjoy. Found in Languages > Cockney

The Trial of Jack the Ripper Now this is one Londoner you wouldn't want to practice your rhyming slang with. Jack the Ripper's true identity has remained a mystery since the infamous Whitechapel murders of 1888, so the folks at Discovery Channel decided to re-open the case with an interactive 'trial'. The votes are in and it seems that James Maybrick, alleged author of the 'Jack the Ripper Diaries', is the nation's favourite. If you're an amateur sleuth yourself, you can check out the cases for and against the four suspects on this spookalicious site. Sorry, but our money is still on Francis Tumblety, the dodgy American doctor. Found in TV Shows > Real-Life Mystery

Walkers Showcase In a nutshell, Walkers Showcase is an Internet gallery enabling schools to display children's work on the Web. It provides a great way for family and friends at home to view what the children are doing at school. What's neat about this site is that parents and kids can get equally Web-savvy together and the latter might be more enthusiastic than ever about homework! Some of our fave works are the renditions of David Beckham, but most astonishing of all are the Web movies and music compositions. 'Zorg - bringer of nightmares' is described as, "A planet with vast seas, where the wind howls. It's a scary, frightening place." Ace. Found in Sites for Kids
