Blog Awards (and something that’s bugging me)

Despite Mr. Mulley’s having to cull some of the nominations for the Blog Awards, all of the suggestions I made in January are the long list. Fair play to me.

Being a newbie at this blog racket, it’s as good as winning one myself. I would have been as sick as a small hospital if Eolaí gan Fheile’s Irish Conversations hadn’t made the cut for Most Humorous Post or if MacKozer’s Ireland from a Polish Perspective wasn’t up for Best Photo Blog.

Edit:: I realised after writing this that Eolaí is on the list for Best Designed Blog. I didn’t recognise it as his site at first as it’s named From Ireland to Kansas City. ::End Edit

These two buckos are in for other awards: An tEolaí has a second post in the Most Humorous category and is also in for Best Specialist Blog, while MacKozer is on the list for Best Newcomer.

Fatmammycat and Annie Rhiannon in there for Best Personal Blog and Annie also got nominated for Best Blog Post.

And what can I say except it was no surprise that Her Ladyship, The Swearing One, Right Honourable Member for Arse End Dead Central, got a whole bunch of nominations. Well deserved. She’s simply the beast when it comes to saying it as it is.

It’s great to see the Kav lad and Bock in there too.

Now. Here’s the thing that’s bugging me. Yer man Twenty is on the list for Best Designed Blog. Soooo, when the nominations were made, he was using a common or supermarket Blogger.com site, and noooow he’s gone all uppity and fancy on us and switched to using Wordpress and his own domain name. Which fekin design are we voting for?

  1. Thanks very much. You’re a good man Mr Primal. Or a bad woman.

    I’m not sure I understand how the Conversations counts as a post but if you ran it by the powers that be then I suppose I should just accept it gratefully. Still though, it doesn’t seem right.

  2. I see the Conversations as one long post. Each conversation being a paragraph.

    I mailed the powers to ask for clarification. No reply. So I went ahead and nominated Conversations anyway. That it is on the list, means it is acceptable I assume.

    If there’s a Stewards’ Enquiry, shur what the hell. We’ll sit back and enjoy it.

    Eh. Man. A bad one. Well I try to be, but sometimes fail.

  3. Good question on Mr. Major, actually. It’s an awful thing that I liked his old blog better, but then again, I actively hate change, woe, waily.

    Also, I’m not a beast. Except for when it matters, like in bed or when chasing away random feral children with sticks.

  4. Hi Primal!

    Thank you very much for the nominations for Irish Blog Awards.
    I didn’t expected to be nominated at all :) I am very glad that my blog has some readers and viewers and that there is a lot of feedback on the questions and issues I describe.

    Also, I have discovered that Irish blog community is a interesting platform of discussion and exchanging opinions, experiencess and thoughts.

    Go raibh maith agat! Bhi sé go hiontach!

  5. I liked Twenty’s old one better too, Your Ladyship. The new one is, I don’t know, pale and insipid.

    Simply the beast was a compliment. We need you to do the pursin’, and the foldin’ and the tappin’ when it matters.

    Go n-eirí leat, MacKozer. Your photos are absolutely brilliant and worthy of recognition and your posts raise issues the Irysów and Polish need to address.

    ps. The previous comment was this one. I deleted it by accident.

  6. I didn’t even know I’d been nominated for that. I assume it was for the old blog so I would suggest voting for one that looks like it wasn’t designed by a spastic monkey.

  8. Ah, Sweary, Twenty. Don’t be slagging “spastic monkeys” - shur doesn’t Bertie say we don’t have enough of them - a shortfall in people to fill high tech jobs - like answering support-lines, looking up a knowledgebase and repeating the results back verbatim to the caller.

    … Jayzez, but I feel a post coming on.

  9. Thank you for the kind comment, Mr Sneeze.

    Swearing Person, I’m a bit of a beast in bed myself. I sweat like a pig and fart like a herd of cattle.
