Thinking Blogger Award: Aw Shucks, Thanks John

Over the weekend I've been awarded a Thinking Blogger's Award courtesy of Prisoners' Voice, John Hirst. Thanks for thinking of me! Picture, right, shows LOL accepting the award at a glittering ceremony.

There was a mention-in-dispatches near miss a couple of weeks' ago from Dave's Part who did add me to his links. In this case I am Super-Sub for Councillor Bob Piper who is in good company as the already garlanded Iain Dale also declined a repeat honour.

It is now my solemn duty to tag five other bloggers with a TBA, aiming to avoid duplication of previous awards, and to finger only genuinely original and thought-provoking thinkers.

The meme was started on 11 February 2007 by Ilker Yoldas. The fact that much-longer-established Labour blogger K Cross Clan has also been tagged in the last few days (by one of his bessie's) shows what a wild, fast-changing and nepotistic world we bloggers live in.

Socialists? Lights-under-Bushels? Mancs? Old faves? New raves? Quality? Width? Quality-with-Width? Watch this space.
