Be afraid n00bs. Be very afraid.

Be Afraid n00bs. Be Very Afraid

It’s obviously a foregone conclusion that I will win the much sought after ‘Best Newcomer‘ award at the Irish Blog Awards, and like Twenty, Grandad et al, I expect a multi million Euro book deal to follow swiftly afterwards.

And then there’ll be no fucking stopping me.

Seriously though, thanks a million to anyone who nominated this piece of shite blog for an award, and congratulations also to regular posters on here like Rosie, Manuel, Sinead, Fakey, etc etc who’ve been nominated themselves. And anyone else I’ve missed. Red got one for Best Music, I think, and she should win hands down if there’s any justice. Rapture Ponies too, and KC.

Anyone who’s been nominated but doesn’t comment here can ask me bollix.

Good job I only got into one category though, or none of yis would win anything.

    Fuck the chancer. Bunch of Blogorrah cunts.

    I’m going to get steaming drunk at the awards ceremony, should I decide to grace it with my beard.

    Well done OFTR. But of course it won’t be your first time on the red carpet!

    Congrats on the nomination (proud sibling moment…misty eyed…will be up snapping pictures of you in your tux… ;)

    The red carpet is second nature to me, but this is actually a bigger deal than the IFTAs.

    Rosie, I’m only going if you are. I’m not very good on my own.

    I think I nominated you….not sure best of luck….you make me laugh…..and not in a Joe Pesci sort of way…..

    [...] of boasters, One For The Road is quite modest about his blog awards nomination. Nice gif [...]

    I’m delighted to see you on the longlists- well and truly deserved. And thanks so much thinking me worthy of a music blog award. You are nuts. But thanks all the same.

    If I do decide to go, it’ll be in full ninja regalia. Stars and all.

    Oh go on go on go on. You and Rosie - together at last!

    Congrats, you big alcho.
    Your humbility - whateva, it may be a word - is inspiring.
    Best of luck though, really!

    I’ve since made the long list for Best Blog and Most Humourous post.

    I imagine I’ll win both of those too.
