Forget The Oscars and The Golden Globes, The Booker Prize and Sportsperson of the Year because just around the corner the winners of this year's Laughing Horse Blogging Awards will soon be announced - including the identity of the overall winner and therefore the Blogger of the Year for 2025. Who will it be? Speculation echoes around the blogosphere like Keith Richards's guitar in Madison Square Gardens.
All around the world, blogger excitement builds. After all, a "New Yorker" correspondent recently suggested that the principal source of blog writing motivation is, "the remote possibility of joining the prestigious Laughing Horse winners list".
Please listen to the music as you slowly scroll back through history...

The venue for this year's Awards Ceremony remains a closely-guarded secret in order to thwart yet another plague of gawping paparazzi invaders. In addition, the unique designer widget for 2025 has not yet been revealed owing to fiery disagreements between top brass decision makers in Laughing Horse Tower. I have it on good authority that this matter will be sorted during the Christmas period..
