Nice one.

I'd love to say it was me, but sadly I saw the length of the form and promised to come back to it later. Some promises don't mean much :(

My point, though, is that it's a completely deserved nomination and I hope you walk it; somehow can't see a unionist blog winning though.

I hope you are talking in jest there Beano. If anything a Unionist blog has a step up on any other blogs, in that a lot of people, well those of a certain mindset, take an interest in politics in NI and take advantage of the possibilities of engaging in debate with the "ould" enemy :)

There are some quality bloggers from NI at the moment and this blog is up there with the best of em.. Good luck to em.

Beano,
You're in the running for Best Political (and no, in case people think there is a Unionist Conspiracy afoot, it wasn't me who nominated you!)

If my stats are telling the truth, then I get quite a few readers popping in from the ROI. I think the internet gives them the chance to hear a different pov on NI from maybe the one they've grown up with or got used to over the years.
Obviously doesn't mean they'll agree with anything I'm saying, but (hopefully!) us Unionist bloggers at least give them something interesting to think about. In return, the comments I get on here (and feedback via email) come from a wide spectrum and it makes it all the more enjoyable for me.

Thank's for the heads-up O'Neill. I hadn't realised I was in it.

If whoever did nominate EU happens to drop past here - cheers!
