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.

Blogger down at 6:30am. So I�m using word to paste into it later and I don�t lose me post. Why didn�t I think of this before?
K (Not their real name) got exceptional leave to remain. We are much joyed by this, JEM, PH and Jimty especially, but all of us are.
"Your country is in chaos. Death squads and gangs rule the streets. Your nearest relatives have been killed, and you fear you will be next. Selling your last possessions in exchange for passage on an unseaworthy vessel, you risk your life travelling across the world in search of a new beginning. But when you arrive, you are locked away in blatant defiance of UN laws. Those who have locked you away are acting illegally, but it is you who are treated as a criminal..." Yeah it could be Dungavel or Yarlswood. This is actually Woomera, in Oz as I believe the antipodeans call it. Fabby new computer game being developed. Forget Wolfentstein, Quake, Doom et al. This is really reality bytes. Escape from Woomera.
thewife was out thespianising last night. She's a dame, I know this, in a Panto that her community drama company, Stagefright is producing. Anyway she comes in when I'm in bed sleeping and tells me that they have limited the numbers at the theatre to 50 and I'm not really thinking, but thinking nevertheless that getting 50 in will be a problem, not a 50 people limit. Of course she's not referring to the Panto. Its a 'Big Licks' gig on Friday at the Harbour Arts Centre. If you like 70s excess rock then its a definite. However that means being there for 2 hours before the band are on, drinking bad beer and worrying about whether you have the right t-shirt on.
