Richard III Museum "Then since the heavens have shap'd my body, let hell make crook'd my mind to answer it," says the title character in Shakespeare's Richard III. He was King of England for little over two years (1483-85), but he certainly made his presence felt throughout the land. Is his reputation as the callous and brutal killer of his nephews (the "Princes in the Tower") deserved? The Richard III Museum in York stages a mock trial where Richard is placed in the dock and charged with the two murders. After the cross examinations from defence and prosecution, it's up to you, the jury, to decide. Found in History > Museums and Memorials

Clubs In Crisis After last year's threatened players' strike, the footballing world hoped for a little breather from scandal and strife, but alas, bang goes ITV Digital and the sport's credibility is once again in question. Without TV money, the smaller clubs would struggle to survive. Clubs in Crisis was set up by a group of Brighton & Hove Albion supporters after the club almost went bankrupt in 1996. The site aims to "ensure that when any other football club comes into a crisis, then we can generate support and help from fans around the world." Good job their supporters stuck by them, because Brighton & Hove just gained promotion to Division One for next season! Found in UK Football > Organisations

bonjour.org.uk As a nation, our foreign language skills are notoriously weak. Whether this is because we don't start learning early enough in school, or expect everyone else to speak English, it's still pretty embarrassing. So here's a cool site to help brush up on French, and its sister sites for German and Spanish will be ready soon. The lessons cover a variety of topics, including work, family, recreation, and nationalities, and each section has audio aids and interactive tests. Let's face it, we'd all better get practising so we can at least congratulate the French on their impending World Cup win... Found in French Language > Online Lessons

City Visitor There's nothing like an innovative country guide to get the Picks' Team's juices flowing, and this site is nothing like an innovative country guide. Heh heh, just kidding. It's actually one of the best we've seen in a long while - not only does it contain a wealth of useful information for towns up and down the land, but it's all presented so well too. By clicking on the front page map, you get taken to the city's individual page, which includes listings for shopping, recreation, entertainment, and the like. There's also sport and local news, competitions, and My City, your customised guide to the site. Found in United Kingdom > Destination Guides

Classmates.ie The Internet is a perfect home for services like Classmates.ie, and there's been a whole stack of similar web sites springing up over the last couple of years to prove the point.

Classmates.ie has over 5000 schools in Ireland listed already, so there's a pretty good chance yours is there. It's simple stuff - you log on, find your school, and then register your details free of charge. Old chums wishing to contact you can then do so via the site's email engine.
