You shouldn't be disappointed Tom. You got nominated, which I didn't, you're in the press every left, right and centre, which I'm not, and lots of people read and love your blog. I know these award things sometimes seem like a big deal, but remember who won the Guardian blog awards last year? Yup, Ms Slut-o-Rama. So mostly I think these awards are just so much hot air. Of course, I *would* say that because I never get nominated for nuffink, and am, ergo, bitter and twisted about the whole thing.
