Irish Blog Awards

Head Rambles Posted on by

Everyone is talking about the Irish Blog Awards.  And why not?

I have been nominated in the Best Blog, Best Personal Blog and Most Humorous Post [for ‘God to sue America‘?] categories, and to whoever voted for me, I extend a humble thank you.  I know someone did, because I didn’t vote for myself.  I don’t expect to get too far because there are so many excellent entries.  The competition is just too stiff.

What really delights me is to see that K8 the GR8 got two nominations too.  She is in for Best Newcomer and Best Blog Post.

I am going to be rooting for her because she has a talent for writing, which she refuses to acknowledge, and I don’t want her saying “I told you so“.

What I want you all to do is to nip over to that Best Post.  It is certainly one of the best posts I have read since I started blogging.  The blogging world can be cruel and cynical.  It can be funny and thought provoking.  But I think this piece of writing is a little oasis of love.

It’s called simply ‘Pop’.

  1. I think it’s a toss up between yourself and twenty for best blog , I may be biased …..cause I think yiz are great
    I nominated K8 for best newcomer 🙂 (I’m sure others did as well)

  2. I’ve just read it, and you’re right, she writes superbly. A beautiful expression of every Mother’s feelings towards their offspring. Ooh, I see we’re competing for Best Blog and Best Personal Blog. I’ll get me coat…

  4. Well done to you and K8! Maybe you will make it a double this year, not sure if there are any other father daughter blogger combinations out there.

  5. Congrats on the nominations – thoroughly deserved I have to say. I read K8’s post AGES ago, around the time I tried to read her whole blog…oops, ate up a lot of house work time…and that post has always stood out in my mind, I can actually see PuppyChild on the street in that dress, bubbles silently floating away, it really is a good one!!!

  6. Roy – I’d put my money on Twenty, but even then there are a few very close contenders. And you’re making me blush now…

    And thanks for nominating her 🙂

    E Mum – That’s the second time this week you’ve threatened to get your coat. I’m still waiting………

    Annie – I confess I was a little choked when I first read it. It’s all the better if you knew Puppychild.

    Grannymar – We need the trophies to decorate K8’s new house!!

    Natalie – She really is a great writer, but refuses to admit the fact. There are times I could throttle her.

    I hope yiz all left glowing comments on it!!! 😉

  7. Oh good grief, stoppit will you. Major reddner.

    Thanks for the link though 🙂

    Happy Nanniversary you two!!!

  8. Ta! At least two of us remembered 😉

    As for the link.. I am extremely proud of the way you write, and I loved that post. If I want to shout about that, then I will. Anyway, it’s my blog and I’ll do what I like.

  9. Well done there, Boss. I look forward to bumping into you at the Alexander, and perhaps smaller hostelries too.

  10. Congratulations, again, Grandad *sigh*

    And also to K8. Well-deserved!

    I’m not sure if there are any other father-daughter combinations though I do know of a mother-son one 😀

  11. Hiya Bock! I ain’t coming near you if you have those weirdos around again. Unless they buy the jar? I’m looking forward to it.

    Thanks Steph! The only combo I know of is a mother daughter one. If Herself had kept going we would have been a husband/wife/daughter combination, which would have been neat.

  12. Aw Grandad, I love your father/daughter posts *sigh* that’s so sweet. And I’m not really getting my coat (i’m such a tease…) x

  13. E Mum – Never mind. I’ll live in hope.

    I see the two of us have made the Most Humorous Post longlist? 😉
