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.

Starting the way you mean to go on......
jimty's messy desk
Okay, so we have just moved into our splendorous new surroundings and jimty has brought with him all of his old habits. theboss was most impressed that this is the first impression you get of our team!
Even the new underfloor secreted cabling breaks into spaghetti as it reaches jimty's desk.
jimty's tidy wiring
Then again, jimty was the person who devised an instant messy desk, involving the glueing of a whole load of messy shit onto blotting pad and leaving it on the desktop of an anally retentive obsessively compulsive colleague who had a thing about his desk. Poor guy probably wondered how his drawer of carefully lined up pencils and stationery was always chaotic mess when he opened it carefully. It was because jimty frequently lifted it up and dropped it and generaly give it a hefty nudge on passing.
The apprentice also has an excessively tidy approach to desks and pretty much everything else, brought about by years of shipshaping and Bristol fashioning of the kind indulged in by her majesty's Senior Service. jimty knows better than to fuck with him though!
