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.

Should be at work and here I am blogging. Why, simple really. Took the motor for its MOT re-test and chap was just finishing off the test, checking brakes and he says that something has just gone in the brakes. I climb into seat, he raises ramp and I push brake pedal and its really soft, and he's saying that a pipe has burst and I'm thinking shit I could see that MOT certificate inches from my fingertips and now its gone. However I can apparently get it re-re-tested as long as it can be done today or tomorrow which might just be possible, but it mucks me about in terms of getting to work. I can get today off probably, to get it seen to, but tomorrow as well would be chancing it.
That and a three subsequent telephone calls, all with not very good news at all, sort of puts a dampener on things all round.
Quiz to follow.
