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.

Working on the basis that the motor is probably pretty well fucked, thewife and I went to Kilmarnock yesterday to have a look at what we might be able to afford in terms of a motor. It looks very likely that we may soon be the proud possesors of a Nissan Micra. Don't scoff, this decision was arrived at by due process of negotiation and consent. 1. It had to be affordable, and economic to run and insure. 2. I don't like Vauxhalls, so the Corsa was out. 3. I'm not too fond of Rovers either. 4. Despite my pleading, thewife has gone off Citroens. 4. The last two bits of point 1. ruled out the rather attractive looking Mitsubishi with a 1.9 Litre engine. 5. The Volkswagens were too dear. 6. thewife does not like the Ford Ka. The Nissan had 5 doors - why they call the back bit a door I have no idea, it's not like anyone uses it for entry or egress and had everything else we were looking for so watch this spaveposted by timesnewroman at 11:18 AM
