Ranty Blows Own Trumpet

I am shocked, stunned, and not a little amazed.

Your 'umble Captain Ranty, latterly of the Queens Own Deserters, has been and gorn and won a badge!

I kid you not, look:

 

Competition was fierce, and I was thrown into the mix with Scotlands finest bloggers. I came sixth, it says here, and I am very pleased.

Considering that I have been at it less than a year, and given the kind of stuff I bang on about, it was a genuine surprise that I featured in any list. Proper bloggers can relax. I am fairly certain that this is the only badge I will ever get to brag about. Well, and the Wikio badge on your left. And possibly seven or eight others that may appear if I can master the art of photoshopping software.

If you voted for me, I send you my heartfelt thanks. If you didn't, may the fleas of a thousand camels infest your ars there's always next time.

Thanks also to the organisers for putting it all together.

CR.

    Thanks Marv.

    Rosie was in a different category.

    There are more results to come, but I don't think I was in any of the other lists.

    Unless there was a "Deranged" section....

    Well done Captain. It was stumbling upon your blog that inspired mine and made me realise I'm not the only one pissed off at things.

    Good drills mate - keep it up!

    I used to go straight to Guy Fawkes' blog to try and found out what was happening. My first port of call is now normally your blog CR.

    Thanks very much and keep it up. You have created and continue to create a great blog! Thank you for being out there.


    p.s. I don't go to the biased BBC much, in any form. e.g. Web, TV nor Radio.

    However I do read

    Thank you DP. Praise indeed.

    I am looking forward to reading YOUR writing over at The Free Society.

    Good luck with that. I know you will be as erudite as ever!

    Excellent - finally someone I voted for has won something!

    Maybe I've broken the vote curse at last. Better have that election quick before it comes back.

    Thanks Leggy.

    So it was you!

    I owe you a nip then. I'm a cheapskate though. None o' that fancy single malt you are used to. It's cooking whisky or nowt.
