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.

Bollocks I hate this bloody programme. I did a lengthy post earlier and had to leave it to stop mumsy's telly from only showing programmes with blizzards - it was something to do with the video, anyway it works now and then I had to check out jimstewart's computer cos he was having problems scanning, SCREAMS, why didn't they just leave computers to the geeks! Also noticed that despite having subscribed to BT Broadband for some bizarre reason jimstewart was still connecting via a modem duh!Anyway I had a lengthy post about the bloody comed Y senior from (not just) na council, who decided to pull the plug on young nongeekygeek's much needed and considerably well put together computer driving school for the YIK on some Bureaucratic Cost reason, despite the fact similar courses have previously costed significantly more (ie more than double) to be delivered less enthusiastically by college lecturers who pretty much turned up for their �20 quid an hour fee thank you. Did msbureaucrat have a look at what was proposed, cost it realistically, look at what it was offering and indeed how it tied in with the other activities offered at the centre. Well I would have thought that was why she got paid the big bucks, but who am I to cast persians.
Last night we were left on tenterhooks by theboss, who asked if we could be around today lunch time for an announcement by the bossboss. Of course this started all sorts of speculation and I am sure by now, half the council think they are about to undergo yet another re-organisation. It turns out though that oor jem is heading upwards with a big step and the reason for any less than cheerfullness on the boss's part is the losing of her which will be felt. Fortunately she'll be back doing 2 days a week which is helpful. Go jem go. PS if your reading this and you stare at the screen long enough, the go jem go will march across it ....honest.
All this and the most fabby fun ever. Follow these simple instructions and read the result CAREFULLY. Go to Google, type in the search window "Weapons of mass destruction" and hit the I'm feeling lucky button" Grins widely.
