A Weeksworth of Worthy Links - August 2-August 8, 2009

I'm trying a new feature, please let me know what you think by posting a comment.

During the course of a week, I read through quite a few news stories, blog posts and other pages on the web that I think would interest my own readers. Starting today, I'll post links to some of the best of them here.

A man walks into a bar (and other clichés) (A Brit Out Of Water)

The Best Cauliflower for Years (Elaine's British & Irish Food Blog - About.com)

Some news are just...can i be honest? It's the most weird thing I've ever read. Trust me, when you live in a country like mine, it's quite hard to beat the news but some here are just...Wow. The boss must hate the poor journalist haha.

Greets,

Paz

@Pazcual - Please bear in mind these are just a few stories (and not all of them are from news organizations) that have caught my eye, and that I think would be amusing, or interesting to my readers. There are more than enough serious news sites out there - mine is not one of them! :)
