 Picks of the Week: 4th March 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?

Sculpture in Woodland
Sculpture in Woodland Sculpture in Woodland is an outdoor art exhibition set in the Devil's Glen Wood at Ashford, Co Wicklow. There are two detailed routes you can follow (ranging from 30 minutes to 2 hours), both lined with the work of contemporary Irish and international sculptors. The site presents some great photo galleries and descriptions, as well as detailed biographies of the artists, but surely this can't compete with experiencing the art while walking through the beautiful, natural surroundings yourself.
Found in Sculpture > Group Exhibits
 
Snoozzzeee Dog
Snoozzzeee Dog This company found something of a niche market a few years back with its innovative dog bedding designs. A few plugs by famous people (Mrs Victoria Beckham, for one) and a successful web site later, and Snoozzzeee Dog is now helping pooches doze all over the world. The site is fun and bright, and is filling out significantly, but while the business has grown, the personal touches are still there - we like Snoozzzeee News and the Gallery section, where customers can send in pics of their happily sleeping pets. Ahhh...
Found in Dog Supplies > Beds
 
advertsongs
advertsongs You know how infuriating it can be when you hear a cool tune on a TV advert, and you have no clue who it's by, and how you can possibly find out?? Well, folks, be infuriated no more, because advertsongs is here to help. Just type in the name of the commercial, and the site will hopefully tell you what you want to know. If not, you can place a request, and other users can submit their answers, so you'll be helping to build out the database at the same time. It's that simple.
Found in Television > Commercials
 
Clinton Cards
Clinton Cards Have all of you remembered that it's Mother's Day this coming Sunday? If, like us organised Picks Central types, you already have the flowers ordered, the present wrapped, and the card written and sealed, you'll not be needing the Clinton Cards site quite so urgently. But for the rest of you, get clicking, because you can browse through an extensive catalogue of cards and order online. If you're likely to forget other occasions too, why not set up a personal reminder?
Found in Gifts and Occasions > Greeting Cards
 
The Queen's Concerts
The Queen's Concerts If you've ever looked at Buckingham Palace and thought, 'that lawn is big enough to hold a festival on,' you're not alone. It seems Her Majesty has also been desperate to recreate both Glastonbury and the Proms in her back garden, in order to celebrate her Golden Jubilee in June. So if you want to be serenaded by Sir Paul McCartney, Dame Kiri Te Kanawa, and Sir Elton John (no commoners there, then), get your skates on and register for the ballot before March 17th. Picks will be running a sweepstake on how many times the press uses the phrase, "a right royal knees up," to describe the event.
Found in Queen Elizabeth > Golden Jubilee
