Would like to meet

Head Rambles Posted on by

Only a few weeks to go until the Irish Blog Awards.

We have a bit of a problem there.

I phoned the hotel that we’re booked into, but they don’t allow dogs.  Bastards.

I phoned a few more hotels in the area and eventually found one that does allow dogs.  Herself took one look at the hotel and said that there was no fucking way she was staying there.  And they were her words.

So I’m just going to have to leave out a few ingredients, and Sandy will have to cook her own meals.  As long as she doesn’t try fillet of steak again, as she nearly burned the house down last time.

There is a sort of thingy doing the rounds at the moment.  I don’t know who started it, but people are naming five bloggers they would like to meet on the night, that they haven’t already met.  I notice my name hasn’t cropped up so far?

The first of my list has to be Bock.  There is a very simple reason for putting his name at the top – he owes me a feed of pints.  What more can I say?

I don’t know if Robert Sweetnam is going, but I would like to meet him too, as he helped me out of a rather nasty hole a few weeks ago.  I would like to buy him get Bock to buy him a few pints.

A meet up with English Mum would be interesting.  Not only does she have a fetish for beards, but she keeps threatening to call over while leaving her smalls behind.  I am intrigued by this, but getting rid of Herself for an hour or two could be a problem.

McAWilliams?  I would like to meet a bloke who can be so obsessed by Twitter. 

Finally [as I am restricted to five] I have to say that Paddy Bloggit is on my card.  He has just bought himself a new [old] house and I’m sure he wants an introduction to someone who will look after it for the summer months when he is living in his shed?

Actually, I’m going to cheat.

I am not only going to exceed my five, but I’m going to include one or two from across The Pond, just to show there are no hard feelings.

Cranky Canuck and I have fought a couple of wars together, though we have never met.  It would be nice to swap strategies in person.

Talking of war, it would be nice if Brianf were there.  We have spoken many times by Skype, and he is another that Bock could buy a pint [or five] for.

And of course there is Kirk M. There is something about Kirk M.  I like his style of writing, and his humour.  I think we would get on very well.

Provided, of course that Bock hasn’t left me legless.

  1. That’s a date, old-timer. I’m saving up already to feed your prodigious Guinness appetite.

  2. I will be there and I reckon my appetite for Guinness could rival your own 😉

    Actually I might have to drive there so you might be lucky!

  4. Guess I’ll have to break out the trunks and swim fins. If I pace my stroke just right I might make it over there in time for the awards ceremony.

    Just keep a look out for some fool swimming the north Atlantic the middle of the winter. I’ll probably be a nice shade of blue by then.

    And many thanks for the invite. I’m sure we’d get along just fine.

  5. Bock – Fair play to ya. Just bring the Gold Card. You’ll be grand.

    Robert – You mean, Bock might be lucky? Drinks are on him.

    RhodesTer – SHIT! I knew I meant to put your name in the hat. Blame the early morning start. 🙁

    Kirk M – Can’t you just borrow an old Boomer and drill your way across? I’ll buy it off you at this end.

  7. Sounds like you’ll be having fun – thats if they can recognise you – will you be wearing the hat???

  8. It would be an honour to meet the infamous Grandad. I’m sorry to say that it won’t be at the blog awards as I won’t be attending this year.

    I know it’s in my neck of the woods and it would have been an ideal opportunity to attend but I don’t think Paddy the Blogger is ready to meet seasoned Irish Bloggers yet.

    Paddy Bloggit is still a newbie to the scene and I’d like to prove myself a little more before I’d place myself in the company of the likes of Grandad, Grannymar and co.

    I must do a post on my blog to expand on my reasons a little more.

    Thanks for including me on your ‘would like to meet’ list Grandad. I am humbled.

  9. Kirk M – With, preferably. My eBay contact is on ‘holidays’ [but is soon due for remission]. The price will, of course reflect the product.

    Kate – I’m going incognito so the hat stays at home.

    Paddy – Being a newbie is no excuse. I went last year without knowing anyone and had great craic. You really have to go [I need that holiday in Kenmare].

  12. How did I miss this post?
    Thank you!
    I am hoping that one day you and I will sit out back in your garden and share a bottle of Jamesons and some good craic.
    I would love to have a few pints with Bock. He and I would most likely not agree on much of anything yet part friends.
    I’m still trying to figure out how to arrive at K8’s wedding unannounced. It’s not looking good.
