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.

Sundays. I have formed a love hate relationships with Sundays. Hate, because its the end of the weekend and love because thewife and I are now fervent frequenters of the Kings Arms' quiz. Yesterday was a Sunday with a bit of a difference though, being a Scottish Cup Quarter Final with the Old Firm facing up to each other and on a different level their adherents, shall we say rather than supporters, who amongst them number some sad sectarian gits who like nothing ore than to get tanked up and celebrate the aftermath of the reformation in modern Scotland. Result of this being that the quiz was cancelled on account of 2 outbreaks of trouble in the pub, following a 12 noon kick off. Some folk.Sectarian bigotry is of course completely lacking at Rugby Park, where the bold Killie took on the Jambos of Embra. We should have beaten them, but failed to convert a good number of chances. Still following recent form a 1-1 draw is possibly a good thing. Young Stewart was back, accompanied by Gameboy in case the excitement got too much for him. Didn't have it out of his pocket though, and despite having been not too well over the past day or two, successfully managed to scoff a Killie Pie.
Alex asks me if I still have his rake and I reply in the affirmative, saying that I could pop in and get it for him on the way home. He declines stating that Rachel only wanted to know where it was and that he wasn't in too much of a hurry for its return. Still cold out perhaps.
Prior to heading off to the Kings, thewife and I were round at Lady El's for dinner. Shepherd Pie, which was particularly good. We also sorted out some of Manuel's 'Vinyl'. It's odd how records sort of stop somewhere about the point when one acquired a CD player. I'd say this collection ceased circa 1985 or there abouts, with an emphasis on early 70s stuff like Zappa, Clapton, Beck, Hendrix clearly a guitar man was Manuel! My record deck is upstairs, which is a bit of nuisance, but I am going to have a weekend of vinyl pleasure fairly soon.
