[…] Recently I mentioned that a certain weekend had provided a number of shocks: in the Rugby, with Labour tax cut pledge, and with the nomination of this modest site for the Irish Blog Awards. There was also one other shock which I mentioned obliquely without explaining what it was. I can now reveal for the curious and those still reading that I was talking about the stroke suffered by my Father-in-Law. Heâ€™s fine now. A 100% recovery â€“ in fact he says that apart from the odd word finding difficulty and problems constructing sentences when it happened he never felt sick and is getting tired of everyone asking him how heâ€™s feeling. Heâ€™s intolerant that way; doesnâ€™t like people fussing. […]

hmmm, I’m bemused. How sad it would be to try and court a nomination by ’stroking egos’. To my knowledge I have only openly expressed my admiration for two blogs /bloggers. One is Cedar Lounge Revolution with the previso that I can disagree with them now and again and the other is the inimitable Hugh Green at Most Sincerely Folks. Oh, wait, I think I wrote to Copernicus of Midnight Court once admiring his Paper Round Wiki entry and he’s the ‘man’ of Irish Blogs, right?

I’ve said before, we’re delighted to get nominated. I’ve no idea how we got it or if we deserve it - but come on, its only a nomination.

As for slagging people off, you name them and we’ll slag ‘em. Let’s start with Twenty Major - that man is such a wizened faced nonce.

Congratulations on being nominated… Can I ask you who you might have gotten friendly with over the past twelve months.. What forums you left messages on etc… Cause I was looking at the nominations and it seems you have to stroke a few ego’s before getting nominated..

Or maybe one just shouldn’t slag people off too much.

Either way..

Thanks WorldbyStorm. I couldn’t possibly comment on whether its deserved or not. I’m just grateful for the nomination. Change is highly, and I mean highly unlikely. I’d like to see CLR collect a couple of gongs. In fact, I’ve already done my bit in that regard.

Well deserved I’d say.

Don’t let it change you!

Thanks Jimbo. Nope, nothings changed. Though now it’s much more of a distraction!

Hey there ‘Dublin Opinion’

Congrats on the award nomination. And to think I knew DO when it was just your distraction from the daily grind. How things have changed - I’m sure.
