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.

Sunday afternoon, weather rather nice and I finally tackle a couple of jobs which I have not been able to do because the weathers been too crap or I have had something more important to do, like undergo a lobotomy.Strimmed the underside of the window, weeded the driveway and took a hacksaw to a wild and imperialistic Cotoneaster shrub, which threatend to cover the entire garden.
Then I was able to sit with a pint of Rock's organic orange at our patio table and relax for a short while before preparing for the night's quiz.
Would you believe those Greeks. Former travelling companion at work got Greece in the sweep at the start of the competition, asked me what chance she had. None I said in all honesty and conviction at the time. My own competition, no humble sweep for us, a far more manly task of skill and daring which involved the prediction of all the results and awarded 5 points for exact scores and 2 points for results. 37 participants � 2.00 per head and Mr Stupid here organises it so that prizes are as follows. 70% of takings to 1st place, 25% to second place and 5% Booby Prize. Needless to say I came 3rd. No Prize. Nada.
The world cup beckons. Electronic entries only and an administration fee methinks.
