Remember those Metro/Ask Best Of Brit Blog Awards that we've been sporadically mentioning to you over the last few months? Well guess what, hecklerspray's only gone and titting well won one of them.
That's right, you're now reading what's been picked as the best Arts & Entertainment blog in the country by Alan McGee – the man who discovered Oasis and, to a lesser extent, 18 Wheeler – and possibly some other people. Needless to say we're all dreadfully surprised to have won the award, since the only thing we've ever really won in the past was chlamydia, and that was probably more 'contracted' than 'won' now we think about it.
The Arts & Entertainment category was an especially tough one – among our competitors was Richard Herring's must-read blog and the gorgeously-designed TrackFeeder – so winning the award is a genuine rare honour for us.
New readers from Metro: Hello, stick around, we hope you like us.
Existing readers: Don't worry – this new-found attention won't change us. Just don't look us in the eye when you talk to us from now on. And make sure our mineral water is room temperature. And, when you refer to us, prefix our names with the title 'Mega-Destructo Emperor'. Room temperature, you hear?
Finally, to those of you who nominated hecklerspray for the award: Huge huge gigantic thanks. We couldn't have done this without you. Actually we probably could but, you know, thanks anyway.
Also – you can now hear hecklerspray editor Stuart Heritage giggling like a confused village idiot about winning the award on the Channel 4 Radio show The Morning Report. Near the end. After all the important news.

Here’s your water. Room temperature, as requested. Yes, getting it to room temperature does make it turn that yellow color. I swear.
Cheers!

so hecklerspray is “kind of sarcastic towards celebrities”?? Oh, you’re too modest. Congratulations, well done, you deserve the recognition.

Well I was there to witness the first tentative steps you all made, back when this whole thing started. I remember the heady euphoria of getting your first million hits, and
seeing you go on from there to now win this award. Well done all, with a special well done to the guy doing the lions share of the articles, Stuart.
PS – there’s a pint in this for you stu. Or maybe some ultra cheap French champagne which is only sold by the crate.
