Lucan Writers "At It" Again

I do have very talented friends. Lucan writers swept the boards last night at the "Saggart Oscars" - otherwise known as the Johnathon Swift awards. Each and every one of the shortlisted Lucanians came home with a first or second prize, no mean feat with the high standard of other entrants. Louise Philips and Triona Walsh for Short Storys, David Mohan for poetry. So Johnny's back in Lucan for another year!!
At this rate we'll need a new trophy cabinet in the library. Well done all of y'all!

Why, I thank you most humbly Various.

I was thinking, we need a nickname for the competion, after we started referring to it as the Saggart Oscars last night :)

I was thinking, what about 'The Saggies'? (methinks a play on Johnny as per your post, may get us into trouble...)

'at it' is a great phrase. He is at it again... rather like our dear Matt Bolton's 'rutting'. still makes me laugh. it must be the heat..

DO - didn't think you worried about gettin in trouble (- what with claiming people have tiny brains and all in your post!!)
BM - Thanks - yes - used that title very intentionally in the hope that lots of people would call over in the hopes of finding out all our salacious gossip!! They'll have to tune back in next week for that though ... or the week after...

I liked the phrase "rutting" or am I missing something? I think I joined the Lucan Writers at the right time, ride the wave of success...

Was it bad to suggest that those who don't think David is super de duper brill aren't the cleverest? Hmm...

Sorry to clarify - I love 'rutting'.. ahem, as in the word! I meant made me laugh in a good way..

Niamh B said...

Matt, you're our lucky charm!
Dublin Dave - Invite me to read your blog!!!
DO - just in that you don't want to bite the hand that feeds you... perhaps? - altho you are perfectly right.
BM - yes - love the sound of the word - sounds a bit similar to "At it" now that you mention it.

Domestic Oub said...

Niamh B said...
