Bread Winner

In the most blatant exhibition of blowing your own trumpet since Mohammed Ali last stepped into a ring, World famous blogspot, Papasgotabrandnewblog, is promoting its own success in the world's first blogspot bread making competition. Despite winning by default (there were no other competitors) the blog's backroom staff partied all night long.
However, a former employee of the blog, who refused to be named for legal reasons, claimed that the award was a cheap attempt to divert attention from the blog's involvement in the recent News of the World phone-tapping scandal.
The blog refused to comment on these allegations but did make the following victory statement:

"World famous blogspot Papasgotabrandnewblog would like to congratulate itself on winning such a prestigious competition. Our lack of publication in the last few weeks has nothing to do with anything so we won't even mention it. Ladies and gentlemen, please raise your glasses in a toast to bread!"

Train-ing!!!

Experimental musician Experiment SH1 has started experimenting with video. World famous blogspot Papasgotabrandnewblog is sort-of-proud to present his first work, the unfinished clip Freight Train Demo. This...ehem....interesting piece of work explores the space time continuum from a post modernist position by a means of the juxtaposition of sound and vision intertwined with the concepts of trains and the travelling bluesmen hobos of the early 20th century (whateverthatmeans!!!). Enjoy!

Dad in Doghouse: Bristol Builder Exposed

Bristol based builder Geddie H has been exposed as the mastermind behind the recently reported "New Sister for Gorilla Spiderman", as exclusively covered by world famous blogspot papasgotabrandnewblog. The devilish dad caused major controversy for originally trying to pin the blame on his toddler daughter Honey Rose although it’s now reported that he has come clean and admitted his guilt after a harsh tongue wagging from his (much) better half, Raggs H.
Earlier today the fiendish father hung his head as he left his family home in central Bristol. A small group of demonstrators who had gathering outside the property hurled abuse and chanted as the horrible hubby made his way to work.
“Evil man, evil man, swopped his daughter for a Spiderman“ chanted a pair of young adult females who refused to be named but said they had travelled down specially from the Droitwich area.
“Shame on you”, “How much for an extension?” and “Lend us your plastic gorilla Spiderman” were some of the other cries that taunted the barefaced builder.
No criminal changes have been brought against the dastardly dad but there are several reports that he has put all work on hold bar the construction of a large one-man-doghouse in the back yard of the idylic family home. Honey-Rose, the toddler at the centre of the scandal was unavailable for comment.
The whereabouts of Poppy Lou-Lou, the infant at the centre of the exchange deal are currently unknown but it’s believed that negotiations are underway for the swop deal to be reversed with Loot.com, the online business that oversaw the deal, claiming that they are confident a solution to satisfy all the parties involved is imminent.

Bristol Todler Exchanges New Sister For Gorilla Spiderman

Honey and Poppy in happier times.

A youngster from Bristol has shocked her parents, friends and family by exchanging her new born sister for a large plastic gorilla in a Spiderman outfit. Little Honey Rose H (nearly 3) decided that she was getting the short end of the stick regarding recent household upheavals and took matters into her own hands. Having waited patiently for nine months for "a sister to play with" little Honey felt she was being short-changed and placed the following advert in Loot.com:
Exchange baby sister for toy. Almost new, sleeps, eats, poos a lot. All serious offers considered.
According to reports a local business saw the ad and offered a large plastic gorilla in a Spiderman suit in exchange for Honey's week old sister Poppy Lou Lou. Honey's distraught mother is frantically reviewing the legal ins & outs of the case but apparently the exchange was carried out within the guidelines laid down by Loot.Com and any reversal of the deal would depend on the goodwill of the buyer.
Father Ged, whilst disappointed, has come to terms with the situation and issued the following statement, "Whilst obviously upset at the loss of Poppy, I've always been a big fan of Spiderman and I suppose we've just got to get on with our lives."
He was last seen heading in the direction of the local park with both Homey and the large plastic gorilla in tow.

Happy Honey and her plastic gorilla Spiderman

Film Review: The Wedding We'll Never See

As reported exclusively in Monday's Royal Wedding Stop Press edition of world famous blogspot, Papagotabrandnewblog, the four and a half minute mini-masterpiece The Wedding We'll Never See by New Zealand actor turned director Ella Double H scooped best film award at the recent Royal Wedding Video Awards. This wonderful comedy drama, set in the outskirts of the little seaside village of Paekakariki (NZ), follows the plight of a kooky British family desperately making preparations for a wedding back in their beloved homeland that they're never going to get to.

There are some marvelous performances from the mainly amateur cast (in fact Double H is the only professional actor) and the characters, whilst somewhat quirky, are warm and believable: the disillusioned dad who believes his lame "party tricks* are suitable for such a sophisticated occasion, the fussing do-gooder mother frantically baking hundreds of profiteroles, the greedy thoughtless elder daughter who eats them all (beautifully underplayed in a wonderful minimalistic performance by Double H in possibly her finest piece of film work to date), and the whacky younger daughter, played with wit and charm by new found talent Freya Double H, who desperately seeks out the wedding venue to no avail.

Despite the low-budget, there are no punches pulled when it comes to special effects as demonstrated during the "jacket scene" where the amazing camera effects shrink the dotty dad to half his normal size. In fact, the camerawork is excellent throughout and once again credit must be given to Ella Double H for all her work both in front of the camera and behind the scenes in a piece of work that overshadows all her previous work to date and which, if there is any justice in the world, will firmly establish her as a force to be reckoned with in the New Zealand film industry.

Peter Jackson eat your heart out!

In a cunning attempt to pick up on some post-Royal Wedding blog traffic, cheeky Chilian Carolina W has decided to have a birthday today.

Many Happy Returns Soul Sister!
