Weird Moon Shit At The Blog Awards

The United Nations Extra-Terrestrial Invasion Defence Agency were on full alert last evening due to the lunar eclipse.

In the past, both the vampiric Drakkulans and the formidable Hol'eck-NaaR Empire have attempted to invade Earth under the erroneous assumption that the "puny humans" would all be distracted by uncommon space phenomena such as comets and the increased visibility of Mars last year.

Despite the danger, Lieutenant Colonel "Whopper" Creedon spent the evening in Dublin City at the 2007 Irish Blog Awards to meet both fans and peers as both he and Mark were nominated as Best Podcasters for 2IGTV. "We didn't win but we had a good time and I was pretty sure that there would be no alien attack last evening" said The Colonel earlier today. "They know we're ready for them to strike during lunar, celestial or planetary activity now. When everyone's watching the cosmic magic; UNETIDA is vigilant over those who would seek to destroy us all" he exclaimed triumphantly.

UNETIDA Director Air Commodore "Albatross" Davenport III is expected to give an "all clear" report to the UN Security Council tomorrow.

2IGTV Makes Irish Blog Awards Shortlist

Thanks to everyone who voted for Mark and I for the 2007 Irish Blog Awards.

The shortlist was announced this evening and 2IGTV remains in the running for an Irish Blog Award on March 3rd at the award ceremony in Dublin.

Cheers folks.

2IGTV Nominated for Irish Blog Award

When someone says "award" to me, I obviously think of shiny medals which I'm pretty used to getting at this stage of my military career but when Mark said to me Sunday that: "We're up for an award!", I thought "Oh Christ!!".

I heard of The Irish Blog Awards last year, most likely through Mark as I pay little attention to the Irish blogosphere (yes that's a "word" apparently) and I had forgotten about them until the Sunday revelation. From what I learned it sounded like an excuse for a load of Dubliners (pardon, and Damien Mulley) to get together for a piss-up and praise each other for their accomplishments and enhancements to the Irish blogosphere (there's that word again).

However looking at this year's nominees, I'm thinking of revising that opinion. I see that there are people outside the pale up for awards as evident by the number of entries as Gaeilge. As I've never heard a Dubliner, or a true Dubliner rather speaking Irish; they must be from other places in Bogland.

Anyway the point of this post is to let you know that Mark and I have been nominated by some goon with more time than sence, who, upon discovering that there was a Best Podcaster category in this year's awards decided it would be a great idea to put us in the ring. Whoever you were: What the hell were you thinking?

Have you any idea how much a real award would go to my head? Don't you think I'm unstable enough already?

Actually it's great! Because I get attention, so go here, stick in your name and E-Mail, scroll down to Best Podcaster, select 2IGTV from the dropdown list (and obviously make other selections as you see fit) and submit. Only do it once, you clown or you'll make your vote null and void. Voting will close February 16th at 17:00 GMT so don't wait around.
