Thank you
I want to thank all of you who have read, commented, contributed, and linked to this blog since it started last year. I’m really flattered to have taken home a prize at the Irish Blog Awards on Saturday night, but it wouldn’t have happened without your help. Cheers.


Well Done Shane, well deserved and nice to meet you last night!

I especially love the fact that “Journalist Blogger Of the Year” is an anagram of “Gargoyle of Jauntier Brothels”. We should all be so lucky!
