So what is timesnewroman? It's not the font, rather my take on the age we live in. The USA is the new Rome and the times we live in are timesnewroman.

Jeezuz this new job is keeping me busy seems like I've had it for months, am run off my feet and don't get enough of it done due to detours, digression and meetings. Meet the New Job, same as the old job. There's a song in there.Wednesday already, thewife has been thespianising a lot recently. Every night this week she has intense rehearsals and is out dead late. Stagefright have a production you see. Community drama group she is involved in. This time she has an acting, rather than directing role. Far sexier, except the character is some old evil granny. It's showtime Thursday and Friday, though I can only go on Thursday cos the Woodies are on Friday. The reidboy is up in between, few pints, stories of Seville, etc etc which should be good. We do have an all day Woodcraft Folk fundraiser Saturday to help subsidise our Summer Camp and maybe contribute to some Palestinian kids coming to it as well (Any benevolent readers out there, or T.U. activists with access to donation making bodies feel free to email some e-dough.) All of this means we have no time to go shopping. On the one hand this may be a good thing, financially. However I want to eat occasionally over the coming week so it was tesco.com again last night. Sort of, spent about 3 hours and the thing was very slow, slow slow slow! Screamed at it a few times but made no difference. If this is broadband I want my money back. Then for some reason it would not let me buy shampoo. Come 11.30 thewife is back and trying to calm me down somewhat. She has a bath and I am still at it. For fuck's sake I only want to buy stuff! But no, capitalism seems to have failed yet again.
Anyways up this morning with the lark 6.00am Back into tesco.com and conclude the business in minutes. Maybe the internet was tired and tetchy just like me.....
Why was the coffee cold jimty? What should I be aware of? How did Mr. Tweede do in his interview? Is Tony a Liar? These and other questions will be answered in future instalments.
