Nice awards list, made me laugh out loud. Of course it was made that bit more special by having my name at the top of it - thanks!

Sorry...Happy New Year to you, comrade!
And it was nice to see John McD. referred to for the Inevitably Screwed Over by the PLP and Campaign Group" Award
Hi Greenman! Happy New Year!
A favour, please. You kindly link to Climate and Capitalism, but it is linked to my old URL. I would be grateful if you could change it to www.climateandcapitalism.com
Much thanks ...Ian Angus
Shouldn't Derek Wall's blog be under the WBD category?
Daily Maybe did great covering Pakistan.
I find the UK left, to be well schooled. They are better at Polemics than the USA left. Unfortunately for the most part they talk to, and fight amongst themselves too much.
Above all holiday greetings
Thanks all, Hope you all have a good 2008.
On the address change, consider it done, Ian.
