Thank you!

I hear I missed a good time at the Irish Bloggies in Cork last night. Thank you so much for my prize for Most Personal Blog, um, I mean Best Personal Blog. They tell me that when my name was called out the crowd went absolutely mental: people were jumping up on their chairs and throwing their bowler-hats in the air and then Stephen Fry tried to start a Mexican wave but it didn't quite catch on — which is always embarrassing but there we go.

Well, I'm touched, and it just makes me look forward to getting back to Dublin all the more. It's like I have a home there and that feels great — thank you.

Special thanks and congrats to Fiona who went up on stage on my behalf. She was going to pretend to be me, but that was out of the window when she won in the Arts & Culture category and it all seemed a bit bloody complicated all of a sudden.

  1. Well done me ould petal.

    I'm sorry we didn't see you there this year; it was always nice in previous years to drunkenly gush over (and paw) your hair.

  2. Everyone would have seen through my crap Welsh accent anyway, alas. Congratulations though, your win was TOTALLY deserved and you are clearly the blogosphere's most beloved blogger, judging by the reaction your win got. I really was gutted I couldn't pull off the pretending to be Annie thing - I wouldn't have had to put my hand in my pocket all night!

  3. hmmmmm so how do we know that Fiona isn't really Annie pretending to be Fiona?

    All very Byzantine if you ask me.

    Very well done Annie.

  16. Hmmm, how do we know it's not Annie pretending to be Flirty? Or Flirty pretending to be Fiona? Or even....

    No I'll stop there before I do my head in.

  21. Congratulations Annie! Totally deserved. And thank you; your "blonk" has made me smile, made me think, made me cry and made me laugh since I started reading ummm, years ago - cutting the worm in half was the first one I read. Diolch

    Well done, Annie!
    Your blog, unlike many, improves with time.
    Is the Stephen Fry you mention THE Stephen Fry?

    ReplyDelete

  28. Yes, I do mean THE Stephen Fry but unfortunately the bit about him starting a Mexican wave on my behalf is the little pinch of salt in this post. You have to watch out for that shit y'know.

    Just think, Stephen Fry might tell Hugh Laurie (swoon) about your blog...well, it's possible.

    I hope the award and publicity brings you to the attention of the right people, because you deserve to get a break, somehow.
