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.

Monday, June 02, 2003

Weekend over, back on your heads. Fabby new office, with windows and its kind of all sitting there ready for us. I've got Microsoft Project hmmmm, and speakers.

On the way home from work I pick up the motor (see post from 24/04/03). It has a newish engine at no small cost. Runs well enough on way home. I have to keep an eye on water and oil but things could be looking up on the transport front. Still a bump every now and again from the rear suspension, but it'll have to wait.

Further on the car I knew I missed a rant, probably last week when I was really busy and didn't get around to posting much. So let's hear it then for Mrs P. Wooley of the DVLA in Glasgow. She represents Alistair Darling the Minister for Transport who wants me to part with � 25.00 because I was unaware/poorly advised regarding the sending off of a SORN form. Seemingly when motor before current motor passed away, I should have sent them a bloody death certificate or summat in, explaining that it was being kept off the road. Seemingly this is an offence, despite the fact I knocked the bloody garden wall down in order to ensure that it was kept of the road! I am guilty of the offence of ignorance and for this the government demand I stump up � 25.00, within a week, or else I will owe them � 45.00, which if unpaid by 21/06/03 will result in court action which could result in fines in the tousands. I say you bunch of theiving government bastards. Mrs Wooley, I sincerely hope you sleep badly for the rest of you life.
