I would go but my alcohol intake is limited for awhile and I'm not going if I can't get mouldy. I'll still hold the money tho'. :mad: What was it Charlton Heston said....?

Danny if you go , I could join you for a non-alco beverage , in fact I think I promised you one - the site says its full - they may make exceptions for us older gentlemen :eek: - tempting

According to statcounter (which I'm hoping is accurate) I had 2668 unique visitors in January. I always wondered how that would compare to the big hitters like Darren, Ryan and Danny. I didn't think I'd have traffic anywhere close to you guys so I'm delighted with myself!!

I didn't realise these things are so popular. We could have our own alternative awards in Dublin (or Trim) like the visa versa Academy awards for those locked out.

Alternatively we could get a lock of megafones and plackards moanong about something or other and set up outside the Cork Airport Hotel. This type of things seem to be catching on again. Ah! God be with the 80's when we lived out of shoe boxes.

Down with this sort of thing.

Careful now.

Only starting to glance over peoples blogs now but you should've had a link to each of the short list bloggers!
Gingerpixel was on the Guinness storehouse trip if memory serves me correctly.
Have seen Darren's and briefly just glanced at yours.
Have seen some of Redmum's pics on pixie too I think.

latchiko · 17-02-2009 10:23am

Well done guys!

rymus · 17-02-2009 10:24am

briefly is it? Hmmmm? I'm afraid that's just not good enough.

Valentia · 17-02-2009 12:32pm

Congrats gang. Let's hope it's a boardsie that wins now.

Very surprised that there is none of the newer, less known bloggers there though.

GristlyEnd · 17-02-2009 1:49pm

Congrats to everyone on the list. I'm a little surprised by one omission from the long list so can only imagine it was tough to judge this year. Really looking forward to this now (but not so much to Sunday morning/afternoon/evening)
