Dear ILE, a simpler plea

Hey everyone,

My blog "house is a feeling" is nominated for "Best Music Blog" in the "Irish Blog Awards", hosted by Terry Wogan.

If you could go here and vote for it in that category, the fourth one from the bottom of the list, that'd be cool. You don't have to vote for any of the others categories unless you really want to read them and do so.

Thanks a lot if you do vote!

this sounds easy but I am having a problem where is here?

― RJG (RJG), Thursday, 15 February 2007 10:46 (seventeen years ago) link

There's no link! (or i'd vote)

― pfunkboy (Kerr), Thursday, 15 February 2007 10:47 (seventeen years ago) link

oops that was silly http://www.awards.ie/vote/

I checked "here" but forgot to link it.

― Ronan (Ronan), Thursday, 15 February 2007 10:47 (seventeen years ago) link

also they aren't really hosted by Terry Wogan...

― Ronan (Ronan), Thursday, 15 February 2007 10:48 (seventeen years ago) link

that's a shame but good luck

― RJG (RJG), Thursday, 15 February 2007 10:50 (seventeen years ago) link

Done! Do the Irish ILX Massive get invites to awards? Feel da voibe!

― kv_nol (kv_nol), Thursday, 15 February 2007 10:56 (seventeen years ago) link

Could you put up a link to your blog? 'Cause then I could honestly vote it as the best Irish music blog, since it would be the only Irish blog I've ever seen.

― Tuomas (Tuomas), Thursday, 15 February 2007 10:56 (seventeen years ago) link

Any nice suggestions we should vote for in the other categories?

― StanM (StanM), Thursday, 15 February 2007 10:57 (seventeen years ago) link

I have never heard of or read any of those blogs. I have no idea what goes on in my own country.

― accentmonkey (accentmonkey), Thursday, 15 February 2007 11:04 (seventeen years ago) link

Oh, except vote for Ice Cream Ireland in its categories. It's run by nice people who have a tea shop in Cork and care about lovely food. Yum.

― accentmonkey (accentmonkey), Thursday, 15 February 2007 11:05 (seventeen years ago) link

can you link to that, that sounds like something I'd like to read.

― Ed (dali), Thursday, 15 February 2007 11:07 (seventeen years ago) link

― accentmonkey (accentmonkey), Thursday, 15 February 2007 11:12 (seventeen years ago) link

Holy crap, frightening errors.

― accentmonkey (accentmonkey), Thursday, 15 February 2007 11:12 (seventeen years ago) link

Man I want to buy an ice cream maker now.

― Ed (dali), Thursday, 15 February 2007 11:15 (seventeen years ago) link

My vote is all yours, Ronang! It's a shame about Terry.

Ed, the ice-cream maker I got for Christmas a couple of years ago turned out to be one of the best things I've ever been given.

― Madchen (Madchen), Thursday, 15 February 2007 11:20 (seventeen years ago) link

I have not got the freezer for it, unfortunately. Only one of those little flaps in the top of the fridge.

― Ed (dali), Thursday, 15 February 2007 11:21 (seventeen years ago) link

also they aren't really hosted by Terry Wogan...

i want to take my vote back then. wink wink

― StanM (StanM), Friday, 16 February 2007 15:11 (seventeen years ago) link

It would be handy if Terry presented it. It's just...well, I think I'm the son of god and I don't know who else to break the news to.

*Ronan steps up to Podium* "Hi, wow. Well I don't really have a speech prepared but *takes out wedge of foolscap* I'd like to thank God, mom and pop, the fans...

― kv_nol (kv_nol), Monday, 19 February 2007 12:30 (seventeen years ago) link

― Euai Kapaui (tracerhand), Monday, 19 February 2007 12:38 (seventeen years ago) link

Oh I just had a few beers...

― Ronan (Ronan), Monday, 19 February 2007 12:40 (seventeen years ago) link

these days partying for me is...eating a piece of chocolate...or having A BEER.

― Ronan (Ronan), Monday, 19 February 2007 12:41 (seventeen years ago) link

I'm happy to hear that you can be boozing it up once more. But a full piece of choc? Hull-OH bloater!

― kv_nol (kv_nol), Monday, 19 February 2007 13:01 (seventeen years ago) link

― Euai Kapaui (tracerhand), Monday, 19 February 2007 13:11 (seventeen years ago) link

Ronan = cheap date. Get him while you can still afford him ladies.

― kv_nol (kv_nol), Monday, 19 February 2007 13:13 (seventeen years ago) link

well...I feel so shit today I don't think I'll bother drinking again for another long long time...I was never really told I couldn't drink, just chose not to based on feeling bad.

― Ronan (Ronan), Monday, 19 February 2007 18:45 (seventeen years ago) link

Too late for me to suggest hair of dog! Every hangover now that I am old* makes me feel like that, you have to push through.

*i.e. unhealthy and not sleeping right.
