Praise for Slugger on A.T.W.

David Vance, with his customary generosity of spirit, over at A Tangled Web has blogged a compliment given to Slugger O’Toole in a lengthy article on blogging in Tuesdays’ Irish Independent.If David hadn’t pointed it out, one of his many fans would doubtless have stressed that it would have been terribly inappropriate for A.T.W. to have been singled out for the praise it deserves alongside of Slugger as David and Andrew run a very British Blog. I’m sure if A.T.W. had been labelled an “Irish Blog” the rumpus over Seamus Heaney being included in that Anthology, ‘Contemporary British Verse’ would have paled in comparison!

I wonder if one of those A.T.W. favourites, Brian Feeney or Jude Collins, could be persuaded to oblige in order that we might have the pleasure of witnessing the eruption of Mount Andrew, the Yorkshire Krakatoa ?
