	Arse End Of Ireland In The Media	246 dni temu
	In that whatnow? Bloggers and blog pages are a bit of an anomaly, in that they tend to be written by journos and yet ignored by journos... all that's changing now, down to pioneers like Damien Mulley (www.mulley.net), Twenty Major (www.twentymajor.net) and Bock the Robber (www.bocktherobber.com). And by pioneers I mean brash scary fuckers with their own mafia. I'm not joking in Bock's case. Arse End has had a coupla mentions in the real world though. It won Best Humour Blog at the 2009 Blog Awards, the first win on the tail of seven previous nominations (including a shortlisting for overall Best Blog three years running). Sweary's been on the radio (but it was local Dublin radio and her Mammy didn't hear it, so it didn't count). And once she was even in a literary agent's office, although talk of writing chick-lit made her barrel through the windows in temper and tears. Most chuffertingly, the Irish Times said of Sweary "when her anger is focused... (she is) arguably the most talented writer at work today in Ireland", and in a later article, Sweary was mentioned thusly "Straight-talking and savagely witty, The Swearing Lady is a young mother living in a Galway council estate who knows what it’s like to be “young, intelligent and stuck in the arse end of Ireland”. Every day, she takes the Celtic Tiger by the scruff (Ireland, “where shoes are more important than feet”) and gives it a sound kicking in prose that sears." The Council Estate might be well gone (I'm wasting a grand a month on a real world hellhole now, foo's), and the Celtic Tiger might be a thing of the past and all, but the arse end of Ireland is something we all can relate to, so the blog trundles on oblivious. Do pop in. Hits and comments feed cute orphans. It's scientifically proven!
