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.

Wallpapering, I thought after the bathroom, that I had cracked it, easy peasy, piece of piss, as hard as a rufus crossword, but no. Spent much of Saturday and Sunday making an absolute arse of a job in the bedroom. The very first strip I attempted to hang on the wall got all fankled and ripped and the air was blue and well I just sort of bundled it into a ball and flung it in the bath in a rage. Having calmed down somewhat I had another go, this time gently, patiently, and it went on fine, but with a couple of bubbles in it. thewife was out shopping with mumsy and I am sure she is not going to be pleasantly surprised on her return. I have come to the conclusion that its down to the cheap vinyl paper we got, unlike the bathroom stuff which was expensive and quite heavy.thewife reckons the colour is great and she sort of realises that I am not a decorator and that we can live with it, if we cover up the really bad bits with furniture and pictures and I'm saying that next time, we are getting somebody in who can do this properly.
