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.

Painless, sort of. Just been along to the BBC to read out the 5th November entries in the Blog for the Scottish Blogday Programme. It was fascinating, being in the BBC studios and Margaret, the producer made it really simple and down to earth, even if there were a few takes and some artistic licence. thewife asked if I saw anyone famous and I did I saw Tony Roper of Only an Excuse. thewife asked if I had remembered to kick him when passing and I said no, I like only an excuse, he's funny. She said that he wanted a fortune in fees from her little community drama group to stage one of his plays. Oh well, I'll remember next time. The programme goes out next Friday, 5th December at 11.30am and 10.30pm.The apprentice entertained us with an enthralling circular sort of Deja Vu event when he recalled a time as a builder, working on the roof of a building overlooking a primary school that he spotted this lad looking up at him from the classroom, which took him back to a specific moment in his life when at school he was looking out of the window at a workman on the roof of a nearby building and the teacher shouted at him to pay attention or when he left school he would have a job like that, working on roofs.
