Thanks to the banter and debate we encourage at GO! Smell the flowers we’ve picked up an award for our blog and proudly display our badge in the right hand column on our blog.
Happy days! Thanks to the bloggers over at oneeyedview for the nomination.
Thinking Blogger was started by Ilker Yoldas at The Thinking Blog, with the premise “Too many blogs, not enough thoughts!”. GO! Smell the flowers is very honoured that Oneeyedview thought that what we post here is thought-provoking enough to make you think and to engage YOU into posting a comment and entering a discussion.
We are pleased to accept the award and pay it forward to five other bloggers because we would like to promote those who think before they write, explore and make us think. More importantly, without our regulars and those who comment on our space this blog is worthless anyway. So its your award too! Thanks for all your contributions.
In return we’d like to nominate 5 blogs for the award, all equally appealing to us and blogs that we read and respect on a regular basis, so feel free to GO! try them out:
1) Stoneman and his Miscellany from the past blog.
2) Humour over at the little Aussie cynic blog.
3) Fellow writer Mike French with his ’view from here’ who recently posted a promotion clip for his book the dandelion tree on youtube.
4) J phillips and his pearls of wisdom about the blogosphere over at smart, welathy and rich.
5) Oh and not forgetting High heels and stockings. :0)
Take a look at them and for other bloggers who choose to participate, please make sure you pass this list of rules to the blogs you are tagging:
1. If, and only if, you get tagged, write a post with links to 5 blogs that make you think.
2. Link to this post so that people can easily find the exact origin where it started.
3. Optional: Proudly display the ‘Thinking Blogger Award’ with a link to the post that you wrote (here is an alternative silver version if gold doesn’t fit your blog).
Happy flower smelling and thanks again for the award and to all who post comments at GO! Smell the flowers.
Well done team flowers.
Looks like all your work is paying off.
That 275 comment discussion on charity will take some beating. Is it a record?
Congratulations flowers well done with all the thought provoking discussion….and thank you very much for the nomination…I am grateful for it….
It is good to see there are still people out there who take an active part in the world today tomorrow and beyond…
thanks again

Hi 5 from me those of smelly flowers.
Not been able to post daily but will drop in for a bit of sport as and when I can. Loved at least one of those blogs you sent the award to - cna you guess which one!?!
You guys mega-rock anyway so more awards for this blog the better. Its better than my days at school - I learn far more here :0)
That stocking blog you nominated was a bit saucy, kinda stylish too!
Well done guys and thanks for the nomination.
Hope you havn’t peaked with your charity comments. There’s more knock out stuff to come right? Yeah of course … I look forward to more great postings.
Congratz!!!
Why all the congratulations for the administrators of the blog - it wasn’t them that made the subject ‘work’
You all deserve a pat on the back
Thanks for the kind wishes!
Angry, just for you we already thanked the people who make our blog worked so we’ve highlighted it in bold just for you.
Thanks again AngryEP, we love you.
HI!!!!
Thanks a lot for your nomination!!! i know that my blogs are a little bit different to “normal” blogs, but thats the way i’am ;-). so it’s really a great honor to be nominated for a blogging award.

Angry EP, you really should check out corset girls blog - just click on her name above. We had to take the bold comments off our post as it corrupts our text so you’ll just have to read it again…..
GO! Corset girl NOW get back to updating your blog you naughty thing :0)
Corset girl, thanks for brightening up my day.
[...] And now, Go Smell The Flowers also awarded me with the Thinking Blogger Award as well! Thanx a bunch! Jphillips and his pearls of wisdom about the blogosphere - Go Smell The Flowers [...]
In this tropical island of Borneo - flowers never smell as good as this one. Please, anyone consider me in .. I’m kinda miss the smell of the flowers of tagging.
Alas, yet again anything with blogspot in it is out of bounds for me here in my little dusty corner of paradise.
GIC - shame China do that. Can you access youtube overthere as well?
I can access you tube from my home but work has it firewalled.
BBC news is still blocked here yet BBC 24 is freely available on the TV. Most countries have censorship of some form, even the UK and US, its just way more open here.
You had better not fill your tax return in wrongly Gareth, as we all know what could happen to you in ‘the land of the free!’
Gareth can you get Monkey Magic over there?
If so any clues what happened in the end- they just always seemed to be travelling through the field with the skinhead on the horse, monkey having just despatched a number of sea slug baddies through using his cloud and extendable pole (ooh pardon), Sandy having spent the whole episode being a rubbish bowlhead and pigsy having fallen for the sea slugs ‘honey trap’ of a decent looking chinese bird who ends up being a baddy.
I reckon they are still in that field.
Why didn’t they all just get on Monkeys cloud and travel to wherever it was they were going that way?
Monkey magic and the term bowljead. All part of my early teens.
The ape with no chest hair left and he plucked one out everytime the cloud came.
Time I plucked one out.
Although admittedly the best telly theme tune of all time
‘born from an egg on a mountain top’
Sorry mate, have to cross the yellow sea for that one, its Japanese. Not popular in China those lads.
Chinese
Japanese
what are these?
