Irish Blog Awards

Grandad February 11th, 2008

IrishBlogAwards1

As you all probably know, the Short Lists are out.

Wow!  I’ve been shortlisted!!  Flirty told me I had but I didn’t believe her.  I never trust a woman.

Looking through the shortlists, I am thrilled.  All my pals are in there so there should be a big hooley on the 1st.

K8 the GR8 made it for Best Newcomer, so we’ll both be there.  Flirty and English Mum will have no excuse, if I can keep Bock distracted enough.  Of course Sneezy will be barred before the event even starts.  Grannymar will be casting her disapproving eye over us all and playing with her new toyboy [Twenty.  Of course!!].

Irish Taxi will be propping up the bar having One for the Road before bringing me home.  [Remember, Roy - I booked you first!!!]

Naturally, Sarah and Kathy will be taking notes [while Red Mum takes the photos] for the big exposé on Sunday, while Sabrina makes designs on Michele.

As for the rest of you………..

I’ll see you outside for a smoke.

    I wasn’t. :(

    I was longlisted, though, which is something, I suppose. :)

    Robert - It’s a graduation process. I was longlisted last year, and shortlisted this year. Next year I might even win something! :)

    Well done there. Old codgers rule the bloggiverse.

    I would hate to be a judge for this round. They will have a very difficult job.

    Well done again Grandad to you and K8!

    Aw, thanks! I would love to drop around to all 400 and wish everyone the best of luck, but I’m out of time..! :(
    Remember - The best craic will be outside the door. See you there, Bock & Co.

    [Grannymar will be around the back with Twenty]

    See you there. We can compare beards.

    Hooraw for you Grandad and all the others who were short listed! I’m rooting for everyone ya’ know. That way the only the ones that already don’t like me will be the only ones that don’t like me after it’s all over. I’m an equal opportunity target.

    Anyone understand what the heck I just said?

    Seriously Grandad. Did you ever think this would happen when you first started this free-for-all just over a year ago? And now K8 is there as well. I’m impressed by all you folks. Good luck and best wishes then.

    Kirk: It’s ok. You can say “hell” here without getting arrested.

  12. Maman Poulet IRELANDon 12 Feb 2008 at 1:13 am

    another blogger who smokes? Was going to say we’re a ….

    Anyway I’m sure I’ll see you outside!

  13. Roy(irish taxi) IRELANDon 12 Feb 2008 at 5:23 am

    I couldn’t believe they put me on 2 shortlists, the judges must be mad, hopefully I’ll see you and K8 there
    Good luck to everyone

  14. Grandad IRELANDon 12 Feb 2008 at 10:01 am

    Roy - You’re driving K8 and me home. Remember?

    It looks like there is to be one hell [sic] of a bash on the pavement outside the hotel….

  15. Eolai IRELANDon 13 Feb 2008 at 5:24 am

    I’m thinking of taking up smoking.
