Posted by on Mar 11, 2006 @ 11:47 PMIt’s richly deserved. As I said on the “Dreaming Armadillo” yesterday I didn’t think the Slugger team would go away empty-handed.
Posted by on Mar 12, 2006 @ 12:07 AMHah ! Bet you are secretly RAGING that you did’nt win one of the framed 1916 Proclamations which we donated to the Awards as ‘spot-prizes’ !
John , from this parish , represented our blog at the ceremony tonight in the Alexander Hotel - and he’s still out ! Must be a hell of a party on somewhere ...
Congrats to all the winners , to Damien and Rick , and special mention to the sponsors .

Posted by on Mar 12, 2006 @ 02:37 AMWell done to slugger. You were sorely missed in the Merrion and Renards Naoise. Guess blogging comes first.
Posted by on Mar 12, 2006 @ 03:33 AMcongratulations on a political award, particularly in one of the few places left on God’s earth, where there is virtually no meaningful politics, bar window dressing.
In fact there’s been so much stock-taking of late I’m suprised there’s any stock left.
Just anuvva cynical sunday morning.
Well done Slugger’s anyways.Posted by on Mar 12, 2006 @ 12:00 PMWell done, richly deserved.
Posted by on Mar 12, 2006 @ 02:49 PMI’m too hung over to blog today. Hope the speech wasn’t too embarrassing. I for one can’t remember a word of it…
Posted by on Mar 12, 2006 @ 03:27 PMGood job, well done.
Slugger is a great site, and well deserving of the Kudos!
Keep up the good work.
