Not Another Birthday!!

Yes folks! It's that time of the year again. The birthday countdown starts here and now. Big Sis Terri is celebrating her !x% birthday so get on the blower and sing her a tune.

We recommend this one:

I'm dreaming of a white christmas,
Happy birthday 2 U,
Happy New Year
Happy birthday 2 U
And a partridge in a pear tree,
Happy birthday dear big sister Terri,
Good king Wenceslas last looked out,
Happy birthday 2 U.

Hip hic hurrah, hic!

Loss of Readers!

According to a recent survey by a company of no importance what-so-ever, world famous blogspot Papa's got a brand new blog has hit rock bottom. Viewers have stopped visiting and comments are not being made. Reports suggest that less sophisticated web sites have taken the lion's share of visitors; Facebook is being cited as the most notorious culprit.
A spokesperson for the world famous blogspot said:
"I don't like beetroot"
Another spokesperson said:
“It’s like Punk Rock all over again but this time it’s been wrapped up in a neat little box with a pink ribbon tied around it. It’s all warm and fluffy and not at all offensive.”
Finally, another spokesperson said:
“The loss of visitors to our humble, unpretentious little blogspot is a pity. Yes, yes, it’s a pity. Oh! Lordy, Lordy, what a pity. In fact, it’s enough to drive a spokesperson for a flagging blogspot to drink!”
"Bartender, another glass of your finest fizzy water please (nudge, nudge!)".

A Dad 4 All of Us!

As one of our readers (Yes! we have readers, not many but some!) kindly reminded the pop artist "Higgsy", Ole Ted had 9 lil' uns.

His masterpiece has been duly revised.

Pop Art Dad

To celebrate the "Happy Birthday Everybody" of all round nice guy and top Dad, George "Ted" Higginson, world famous blogspot Papa's got a brand new blog spared no-expense.
The blogspot forked out the spondolies to commission the up and coming, New-Wave, art terrorist, non-commercial artist "Higgsy" to do the honours.

The original of his latest masterpiece "Pop Art Dad" is on sale to the highest bidder!

Con man Colin, eat your heart out!

HAPPY HAPPY DAY

A BIG Papa's got a brand new blog anniversary greeting to the undisputed Master of Feng Shui, Beautiful Bea, and her sidekick whatshisface, who today celebrate 3 glorious years of wedded bliss and happiness.

Here's to next 100 years together!

(I'll drink to that (hic!))

Our picture shows the happy couple during their whistle-stop tour of the Big Apple earlier this year.

FACEBOOK

I read the comments below and decided to interview myself.

Q: What is Facebook?
A: A social networking software that allows you to share information with large amounts of people. It was originally developed as an educational tool.
Q: Why is it so popular?
A: Well, from the point of view of photo sharing it quick and free. According to wikipedia the average user spends 19 minutes per day on Facebook. It was voted the second most "in" thing university students (on par with beer and sex. The i-pod was Nº1)
Q: What are the disadvantages?
A: It is time consuming and gimmicky and maybe someone will use stuff to embarrass you or even blackmail you in the future! (Be careful what you show, be careful what you say!!)
Q: Why do you have an account?
A: I wanted 2 C Ged n' Raggs' wedding photos.
Q: Are you for or against?
A: I think it's a great way for my students to practice "real English", it's sort of Pen Pals for the 21st Century. However .............. I sense something dodgy. Someone is making BIG BUCKS!!

I reckon that by this time next year, it will be last year’s big thing.
