"You hear laughter breaking through, it makes you want to fart. You’re heading for a breakdown, better pull yourself apart. " - John Cooper Clarke

That was a surprise.

The Twat woke me up this morning by poking me on the nose and then telling me that I’m a finalist for the Lifetime Achievement Award at the 2010 Bloggies. Pretty cool, I thought and decided to get up and see if any of my nominations made it to the finalists and yes!, 2 or 3 are there so please do go and vote for:

Naked Blog in the best GLBT,
Cake Wrecks in a couple of categories,
3Limes in the best Latin-American category despite my having put them in the Best African category. Trinidad and Tobago sounds African, doesn’t it?
Belgian Waffle for the Best European and so many more.

I did nominate others that are finalists too, but there’s a start. It’s also a good way to find other good blogs and there is already one that I am thinking of stalking….

Ok, this is shameless promotion, but I thought I’d give it a try.

    Damn me! I thought that Bloggie thingy was no more. The last time I heard of it was 2007 when you sent me an email pleading, no, begging me to vote for you!

    It’s a pity they didn’t have a category for the person who’s been blogging the longest. I started with Geocities.com in 1988 when we just had a homepage that you had to design into weblog yourself! That was long before the readymade ones we have now.

    Oh, BTW I didn’t vote for you in 2007, so there!

    Thank you, thank you, thank you! Fame at last. Again.

    Every good wish for your campaign zed. If I can help in any way let me know. You have been so kind to me in so many ways, and not just blog.

    Keith I remember Geocities! And home pages. In fact I’ve still got one, probably getting loads of hits, but I never look at it.

    mike: what I can I say? It should have been you.

    Peter ~ Oh no, you haven’t still got a Geocities! page. Yahoo have deleted them all, go check.

    Sorry, Zoe, I forgot my manners. Congratulations.

    I completely forgot this was coming up again, otherwise I would have tried to get myself in there in some category. I guess I’ll just have to wait for next year :p

    Congratulations. I’ll be voting for you.

    Hi Keith. No, I only remember Geocities from others. My own sites have always been home-made and it shows :)

    Mike, It is a real shame that you’re not there, you should be.

    Peter, we miss our little chats, so pass on a landline, because we get free calla after 4pm and weekends to the UK.

    And Scotland.

    Yes, I comment there as Elsie, you commented right below me, I’m floored.

    Recognized another old friend on there just yesterday. This world is getting intensely small.
