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.

Championies, Championies...etc. This is a reference to the performance of thewife, reidski and I in the Kings Arms Quiz last night, not to Killie's earlier premature cup exit at the feet of those weegies of the Calvinist persuasion. May I say Penalty my Arse! Killie did well for most of the game and were perhaps a tad unlucky to lose it in a five minute spell, where the ref clearly made his outrageous decision to award a penalty because Shota Arveladze can't stand up. It was nice to see the 1 minutes silence for Scottish legend Ally McLeod ho died earlier in the week. Despite his lengthy association with the scum, Ally must be remembered as the Grandaddy of Spin - the man who convinced the entirety of Scotland, in the heady summer of 1978, hat we were going to win the World Cup. 40,000 poor deluded souls turned out to see his team depart for the shores of Argentina on a wave of something. Reality returned following hilarious results against Peru and Iran, but we left with a tinge of dignity and what might have been, when we defeated the mighty total football of the Dutch, with perhaps one of the most memorable goals in the history of World Cup football, the wonderful, the balletic Archie Gemmil solo. Had Ally McLeod used his powers in politics we surely would have seen those WMDs by now!posted by timesnewroman at 6:52 AM
