Irish Blog Awards to be a disaster
Grandad March 26th, 2010
I waited until the last moment before making my decision.
The decision is made.
I had every hope of attending the Irish Blog Awards tomorrow night, but due to circumstances beyond my control, I have to pull out. That reminds me of the other night with Sharon, but that’s another story.
I know I am a finalist in the Best Blog Post category [kindly sponsored by KRO IT Solutions – have to say that], but I don’t think I will win. In fact I have my money on one of the others, which I think is a brilliant post. I’m not saying which one, but I will be rooting for them from afar.
I know the night is going to be a disaster in my absence. There are going to be lots of frustrated women, and a lot of bewildered blokes looking for someone to point them in the direction of the bar, but these things just can’t be helped. Life just deals a shit card sometimes. There is always next year….
Incidentally, I have two tickets to the awards.
Anyone want them?
Transport and accommodation not included.

I knew it was going to be a disaster when I found out I couldn’t make it either.
oh, that’s it then, I’m certainly not going to go now… a disaster of such proportions would surely be painful to watch.
I will take the tickets if you can get them to postpone the event a couple of weeks. Shouldn’t be a problem if you tell them I’m a Boondock Saint.
It looks like all the important people aren’t going so?
Disaster.
TT – I doubt it. It’s very difficult controlling an ignorant rabble, and half them are already down there by now. There would be mayhem if anyone tried to send them home again.
ahh! I knew I was right all along. Just because I am not going you decided to follow suit. I was so looking forward to knocking back the pints and black bushes and slaggin the ass off everyone else.
But I don’t want to. Whats the whole point of tweeting and blogging if you have to meet the other eejits who also blog and tweet. Might as well go to the pub.
Far better to sit here, tweet, blog, dronk, eat and listen to my music than have to listen to the twitterati and bloggerati.
You are very circumspect about your circumstances.

Kerryview – Your problem is that you don’t want people to discover that you can’t handle your drink. Am I being circumspect? Maybe I am joining the circus, or measuring Herself’s circumference? Maybe I don’t want to talk about the circumcision? Or maybe I have a really hot date I don’t want to break?
Ah fuck that Grandad, that’s it then, if you’re not going, neither am I.
Flights, train, and hotel cancelled now.
Solidarity.

Martin – We’ll show ‘em where the real talent lies. The place will be like a morgue without us.
A disaster is right! Blog Award Winners? – Yikes!
Do you get the feeling that you don’t fit an agenda? -
Good!
I am sure you realize that you have won the Very Best Award. – Dedicated, thankful, witty, smart, and for the most part, decent, readers that follow your blog.
A true reflection on you.
Thank You, Grandad, and Congratulations!
Quiet Reader – That comment has left me feeling somewhat humbled [I think that's what it is - it's not a familiar emotion]. Thank you indeed.
I hope you exclude Martin above who is a very worthy winner!
