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?
There’s no link! (or i’d vote)
oops that was silly http://www.awards.ie/vote/
I checked “here” but forgot to link it.
also they aren’t really hosted by Terry Wogan...
that’s a shame but good luck
oh what! i withdraw my vote now.
hurrah for the feeling of house
Done! Do the Irish ILX Massive get invites to awards? Feel da voibe!
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.
Any nice suggestions we should vote for in the other categories?
I have never heard of or read any of those blogs. I have no idea what goes on in my own country.
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.
can you link to that, that sounds like something I’d like to read.
Holy crap, frightening errors.
Man I want to buy an ice cream maker now.
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.
I have not got the freezer for it, unfortunately. Only one of those little flaps in the top of the fridge.
also they aren’t really hosted by Terry Wogan...
i want to take my vote back then. wink wink
voted!
OK, done! But quick, everyone:
Voting will close at 5pm on Friday February 16th. (= IST Irish Standard Time, I assume)

done.
thanks a lot everyone!
I even put a link to your blog on my blog. Expect a flood of new reader!
Bump:
Only a couple of hours left to vote for Ronan’s blog!
done!
thanks a lot Stan! and everyone else!
done.
i voted because you’re a good man who deserves to go far.
I bumped this thread because I want you to meet Terry Wogan.
Oh. Damn. :-(
Maybe we should all write to Terry and ask him if he’ll do it.
i voted because you’re a good man who deserves to go far.
the south pole? i keed i keed.
Daer Terry,
plz to be meeting our Ronan, he found this amazing thing in his nose one day. Wait, there’s a picture somewhere. Oh, and he has a great music blog too!
thank you,
best wishes,
your biggest fans,
ilx.
“bloggers? a great bunch of lads!”
Nice to see you, to see you, er, that’s someone else, isn’t it?
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.
REMEMBER WHO GOT YOU THERE, SON
“Daddy, it’s me!”
WHEN YOU’RE DINING OUT WITH BONO AND, UH, SOME OTHER FAMOUS MICK, REMEMBER VAHID AND ANDY AND MY FOUR POSTS FROM 2005
I voted. If you don’t mind, I’ll download some of your mixes for play on wvvy.org

See, he has forgotten the little people already.

Sure, he practically is the little people. Begorrah.
no news yet...the results for the longlist becoming shortlist part I mean...I’ll let you all know as soon as I know...
i made the shortlist...pretty cool. i’d say i have zero chance of winning but good to make the shortlist anyway....
thanks a lot!
YAY! now i am going out to party.
Yay! Good luck!
awesome!
Have tux in with tailor being let out at the waste.
(Well done!)
Best spelling mistake ever, kv_nol.
i have coem back from partying yayu.
me too...I partied tonight for the second time since Christmas!
did you win? your blog is top of the list in the winners page ?!?!
This is exciting!
(Bloody spelling mistake above makes me sad)
no it’s a shortlist now...I think the shortlist is alphabetically listed!
(xpost) No no, in my case it’s correct, there’s a lot of waste around there. :-)
Have you your speech ready?
(StanM, I hear you and sympathise as a fellow sufferer!)
haha I am pretty sure I won’t win...so no speech ready just yet!
*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...
Make sure you prepare something! Mustn’t get all gosh-wow-tongue-tied like that Zara Phillips.
(x-p)
“partied”?
Oh I just had a few beers...
these days partying for me is...eating a piece of chocolate...or having A BEER.
I’m happy to hear that you can be boozing it up once more. But a full piece of choc? Hull-OH bloater!
yeah that’s what I thought! after a couple of beers you must have been LOCKED
Ronan = cheap date. Get him while you can still afford him ladies.
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.
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.
