The winners of the Irish blog awards are announced 'Best Political Blog' Slugger O'Toole has been linked here before, and it's where I saw the announcement. Only had a quick glance at the others, but might be something in there to like. If only I could read An tImeall.

  • How little you know, my sillys, that you are in fact recreating a famous battle from Irish history, at the Ford of Biscuits in 1594:
    When Maguire (Hugh) received intelligence that these forces were marching towards the town with the aforesaid provisions, he set out with his own forces and the forces left him by O'Donnell...and they halted at a certain narrow pass, to which they thought they the enemy would come to them. The ambuscade was successful, for they came on, without noticing any thing, until they fell in with Maguire's people at the mouth of a certain ford. A fierce and vehement conflict, and a spirited and hard-contested battle, was fought between both parties, till at length Maguire and his forces routed the others by dint of fighting...Many steeds, weapons, and other spoils, were left behind in that place by the defeated, besides the steeds and horses that were loaded with provisions, on their way to Enniskillen...The name of the ford at which this great victory was gained was changed to Bel-atha-na-mBriosgadh, from the number of biscuits and small cakes left there to the victors on that day.
    To the victor, the cookie!
