I’m not seeing anything in the rules about votes for the Irish Blog Awards needing to be cast by Irish people, people in Ireland, or infact even people.

So all youseuns not from the Old Sod, get yer arses over there and vote. Obviously, you should vote for the best on the list, in your opinion. Be warned, however, Stephen has a busload of fellas who may take issue with your opinion, so following his lead may be sensible.

Also: volunteers are needed to go round Milltown Cemetery, collecting names for the electoral register. Please put your names up on the list in the hall if you can spare half an hour to help.
