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.

thewife and I went out last night, something we rarely do on account of being frequently skint. That and the fact its chrissums and the MOT failure. Well what the hell, I work hard enough, no giggling there jimty, so off we went to the Harbour Arts Centre for Big Licks' annual festive gig. Pure 70s throwback with an excess of indulgence and three fine guitarists to boot. Most excellent it was too, from The Who, to Stevie Wonder via Deep Purple. Had a brief conversation with another fine guitarist, Paul of rock gods Spleen who is going to check out Phil Ochs, on account of my new advertising campaign tee-shirt.Should be in a real belter of a mood as I have the motor back ready for its MOT re-test and at a price that's almost affordable. Then some dickhead leaves a note on my windscreen at Tescos calling me an "asshole" for my laissez faire approach to parking. Nothing, nothing gets to me like anonymous notes on my windscreen, like cos if I catch the bastard I will have to think REALLY Fluffy Clouds.
We are gonna have a quiz at work tomorrow and I'll put it up here as a festive treat shortly afterwards.
