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! Bollocks! Bollocks! Just spent the evening posting a huge chunk of blog only to lose it yet again in cyberspace.Anyway it kind of went along these lines. Weekend and a half crammed into one. Jimstewart made the 50 mark, well attended party with folk's from all over the place, London, Glasgow, Miami, Rome okay I made the last 2 up. The powerpoint presentation went well and was enjoyed by jim and the assembled throng. It was good to catch up with loads of folks, Jaykay and Ceekay who we haven't seen for a while. Made a tentative dinner invite which needs to be extended to the poet of pollok. Rumour has it he is appearing soon at a cabaret in the west end on Friday, but I can't go cos I am woodie-ing. Anyway how we laughed, danced, drank, and sang karaoke. I thought I knew James Taylor's Fire and Rain, but there you go, well pleased I pulled back from "If you tolerate this" and "Dock of the Bay" those would have been just plain daft.
Saturday and despite being a tad knackered thewife dragged me round to tb's party, which was thoroughly enjoyed.
Sunday was a really lazy day, just conquered the world in one of the harder modes of Civilisation 2 and watched Back Beat, again.
Monday seemed to come round really quickly. Back at work, the boss is off but has left jimty a wee note detailing expectations whilst away. The apprentice is off too, on a tiling holiday no less. Which leaves a much depleted team time being, with JEM Bigstepping 3 days a week.
Finally and not a moment to soon see's the development of this here blog woth the introduction of a fotolog (f'log) It will be a bit slow as I can only post 1 pic per day, but we are off to a great start with a classic of the reidboy following his scooter adventure. See post from 26/07/03, reminder once again never to drink and scoot. Coming soon is thewife does "scary" pose, her being a thespian and all. CTP will feature soon as will contributors to the comments section and pretty much all manner of things, open to suggestions.
