I've spent the last couple of days reading through the past winners of Post of the Week. It's an interesting little voting community, where nominated posts are whittled down to a short list by a panel of judges and then voted on by the site's readers. It's a really useful way of finding blogs with great writing but without a big readership, especially since blogs that are nominated a lot are removed from the circulation, keeping the award going to newer blogs.
Some of my favourites so far:
- How to piss off your wine waiter.
- Fine dining.
- Wimbledon, rain and other interruptions.
- Twisted (from Dave Gorman's blog, which I didn't realise existed, and am excessively excited by).
- Fishcakes.

I happened across Post of the Week recently, when I started reading Todger Talk, which was then nominated for a post dissecting a BBC feature piece about men who use prostitutes.
Assuming Post of the Week have an archive, I'd seriously recommend you read it. And depening on how you feel about a sex blog written by men, the rest of Todger Talk as well ;P
Dude, I was reading Todger Talk before it was cool... :P
Oooh get you. Your next challenge is to leave a named comment :P ... or link me to a post where you already have.
I only discovered it recently, and quite by accident. But I think it's great and very funny.
Agree that it's awesome and funny, and addresses some issues head on that are often avoided.
I've thought about leaving a comment, but others often say things much better than I could, and I can never really think of anything interesting to add.
I'll let you know if I pluck up the courage to put one up... :P
Watch your feeds more avidly. Then be the first to respond. Just go for it. Don't be shy!
And yourself? Have you commented there yet?
