Irish Blog Awards

Grandad January 4th, 2008

In case you have been living in a desert for the last week or so, the Irish Blog Awards have come around again.

BlogAwards

It is the time of year to nominate your favourite Irish blog.

I haven’t voted yet.  I’m still pondering.

There are a few I have decided on though….

Best Newcomer - This has to be K8 the GR8.  Not because she’s my daughter, but because I love her writing and her off-beat approach to things.  I installed Windows Live Writer on her PC yesterday, so I hope she’ll be posting a lot more.

Best Photo Blog - I’ll have to go with Red Mum on this one.  Though it’s a very tough call.

Food and Drink?  The Humble Housewife.

Best Blog from a Journalist will have to go to Sarah at GUBU

Best Designed Blog  - Sabrina Dent.

As for Best Blog?  Best Blog Post?  Most Humorous Post?  I don’t know.  There are so many.  I can’t decide.  HELP!!!

    I thought it was like all the electorial voting in Ireland - a Great Big Secret where you put your X. ;)

    I still can’t get my head around this voting lark.

    Why can’t we all just… get along?

    Grannymar - No harm in a mention or two. And who says electoral voting is secret?

    K8 - ‘Tis all a bit of craic. And we do get along. Don’t we?

    I’d love to help - but I only read a handful of blogs regularly so my choices would be limited to a few people.

    For what it is worth I whole heartedly agree with all your selections so far!

    Hmmm I am in agreement with you on K8 and the Humble House Wife. Most humorous and best post will have to be your lovely self. I will also be voting for Emerald Bile (http://emeraldbile.blogspot.com/) as it is most entertaining indeed. They should have a most original category shouldn’t they?

  6. Grandad IRELANDon 04 Jan 2008 at 3:06 pm

    There ya go now, K8 and Grannymar - a blog I hadn’t come across before :)

    And, Nonny, if you’re voting for this site, you need your head examined.

  8. Grandad IRELANDon 04 Jan 2008 at 4:08 pm

    Gnoma - ?

  9. Kae Verens UNITED KINGDOMon 04 Jan 2008 at 4:17 pm

    huh? again? didn’t you just win this a few weeks ago?

    are the years getting shorter, or are there hundreds of these things?

  10. Grandad IRELANDon 04 Jan 2008 at 4:31 pm

    Thousands, Kae. But some are more important than others. ;)

    Grandad! haven’t been living in a desert, just golfing: temps in high 40s (F) today, 50s and 60s tomorrow and Saturday.

    Fore!

    Oh, that’s right - a wee bit of snow arrived your way, correct?

  12. steph IRELANDon 04 Jan 2008 at 5:25 pm

    Grandad - have you taken your woolly hat off? I recommend Head & Shoulders for that dandruff ;-)

  13. Grandad IRELANDon 04 Jan 2008 at 5:33 pm

    Doc, you old ****. Where have you been? So I take it from the temperatures, you have finally ended up in hell?

    Yes a wee bit of snow today. It has leaked into my website somehow, in case anyone is wondering. It’s not dandruff, Steph. If it piles up on your keyboard, you can either make snowballs with it, or let it melt.

  14. Ian IRELANDon 04 Jan 2008 at 5:55 pm

    Grandad,

    If the bloke on the right of that picture had a blue woolly hat and a pipe, he would look familiar.

  15. Grandad IRELANDon 04 Jan 2008 at 6:03 pm

    Ian - Imitation is the greatest form of flattery!

  16. Sabrina Dent IRELANDon 04 Jan 2008 at 10:55 pm

    Thank you for the mention, Grandad. Appreciate it, plust it’s very flattering. I’m enjoying the snowfall over here at Chez Rambles!

  17. Brianf UNITED STATESon 05 Jan 2008 at 3:39 am

    Geez! Another damn Irish Blogging Awards show. Well I’m voting for K8, you and Grannymar but not in that order.

  18. Deborah IRELANDon 05 Jan 2008 at 8:41 am

    Great minds think alike eh Grandad? I’d say you have a couple of good ones yourself for those categories??? Thanks for the mention! ;-)

  19. Grandad IRELANDon 05 Jan 2008 at 2:13 pm

    Sabrina - You’re welcome :) I only flatter when it’s due. The snowfall is a bit late this year. It was supposed to start a week ago. Global Warming?

    Brianf - Yup. And thanks. [I think?]

    Deborah - My mind is still a blank. Anyone know when the nominations close?

  20. flirty IRELANDon 07 Jan 2008 at 8:15 pm

    Can’t believe you didn’t mention me for best design :-)

  21. Grandad IRELANDon 07 Jan 2008 at 11:52 pm

    Modesty forbids, Flirty. ;) But I didn’t specify Best Blog, did I?

  22. red mum IRELANDon 25 Jan 2008 at 9:55 am

    Thanks grandad for the nomination :) Much appreciated.

  23. Grandad IRELANDon 25 Jan 2008 at 12:45 pm
