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 (nineteen years ago)

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

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

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 (nineteen years ago)

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

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

that's a shame but good luck

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

oh what! i withdraw my vote now.

hurrah for the feeling of house

― lexpretend (lexpretend), Thursday, 15 February 2007 10:55 (nineteen years ago)

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

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

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 (nineteen years ago)

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

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

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 (nineteen years ago)

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 (nineteen years ago)

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

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

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

Holy crap, frightening errors.

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

Man I want to buy an ice cream maker now.

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

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 (nineteen years ago)

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 (nineteen years ago)

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

i want to take my vote back then. wink wink

― resumo impetus (blueski), Friday, 16 February 2007 14:46 (nineteen years ago)

I bumped this thread because I want you to meet Terry Wogan.

― StanM (StanM), Friday, 16 February 2007 14:54 (nineteen years ago)

Oh. Damn. :-(

― StanM (StanM), Friday, 16 February 2007 14:54 (nineteen years ago)

Maybe we should all write to Terry and ask him if he'll do it.

― Madchen (Madchen), Friday, 16 February 2007 14:58 (nineteen years ago)

Nice to see you, to see you, er, that's someone else, isn't it?

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

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 (Ronan), Friday, 16 February 2007 15:13 (nineteen years ago)

― Ronan (Ronan), Monday, 19 February 2007 12:05 (nineteen years ago)

(xpost) No no, in my case it's correct, there's a lot of waste around there. :-)

― StanM (StanM), Monday, 19 February 2007 12:06 (nineteen years ago)

Have you your speech ready?

(StanM, I hear you and sympathise as a fellow sufferer!)

― kv_nol (kv_nol), Monday, 19 February 2007 12:06 (nineteen years ago)

haha I am pretty sure I won't win...so no speech ready just yet!

― Ronan (Ronan), Monday, 19 February 2007 12:11 (nineteen years ago)

*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 (nineteen years ago)

Make sure you prepare something! Mustn't get all gosh-wow-tongue-tied like that Zara Phillips.

(x-p)

― Madchen (Madchen), Monday, 19 February 2007 12:31 (nineteen years ago)

"partied"?

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

Oh I just had a few beers...

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

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

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

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 (nineteen years ago)

yeah that's what I thought! after a couple of beers you must have been LOCKED

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

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

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

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 (nineteen years ago)

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.
