The camping trip that never was .......

So, on December 24th the 3 wise men set off to do a bit of camping. They packed up their trusty Nissan camel and took along a few precious gifts just to be on the safe side. Nothing special, just some Gold Label (cheers Mr Walker), some incense (to be frank incense isn’t the right word for deodorant) and some “mer” (often pronounced Myrrh), which is French for sea (but basically they had some bottled water). Anyway, they travelled long and far through treacherous terrain (that included a 9 kilometre excuse for a dirt-track) and finally reached their destination. Alas, even though they had checked and double checked that the campsite was open, it was closed! Suckers didn’t feel so wise then I can tell you. Anyway, they travelled back over the treacherous terrain (that included a 9 kilometre excuse for a dirt-track) and finally reached a new destination. After what seemed like an eternity, they managed to find a charming little shack at an exuberant price and save the day by washing down a superb meal with a splendid bottle of plonk (Editor’s note: Who writes this stuff????)

Joeman Snowman

Welsh schoolboy Joe C (Josie to his friends) has shocked his parents by inviting his new friend to stay for the festive period. According to Joe's mum Clare, Joe's new found friend is not a suitable companion for her usually, mild-mannered son. In an exclusive interview with papasgotabrandnewblog she expressed her worry at the company her son is keeping.

"This Snowman chappie isn't the sort of friend Little Josie should have. He's not very friendly or well educated. He doesn’t eat his vegetables and every time I try to strike up a conversation he gives me the cold shoulder “said the distraught mum.

Joe on the other hand thinks his new found friend is great. "I don't have many friends" explained Joe. "I live in a desolate place and it's not that easy to meet people. I think Snowy is really cool. He's definitely the coolest person I know."

Joe's father Karol said that he thought Joe's new buddy was "a bit of a drip" though when pressed he refused to elaborate on his comment.

Happy Birthday!

Janelle Gets Top Album Vote

I don't want to say I told you so, but ....... I told you so.

(See here: http://papasgotabrandnewblog.blogspot.com/2010/08/fav-song-of-mo.html)

I raved & ranted to anybody who would listen but almost nobody did (except Euan who was already a fan).

Anyway, Janelle got The Guardian album of the year award and rightly so (better luck next year Mr Vistic).

I really wanted to post the Tightrope video but it's been disabled (check it here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pwnefUaKCbc) cos it's such a groovy thang.
Nevermind. Cold War is still fab but you should just go out and buy the album poppickers!

Groupie Greetings

Lucy M the soon-to-be mother of sextuplets at the centre of the recent Cloned Granny news report celebrates her birthday today. When asked what present she would like to receive, the renowned groupie of hot Bristol rock combo J.E.Vistic stated cryptically that she hoped to receive the sextuplets without the tuplets.
