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.

Hey Joe

A weekend of wining and dining to the extent I was far too busy to do much else. Then on the back of another fine win at last week's quiz, I reckoned a Monday Flexi day should see off any unwanted effects of an excess of alcohol.

Uncle Joe, the man with the shirts, at work had us in stitches recalling how a relative had been advised to rent My Name is Joe, given that they lived in the tenement block where much of the filming was done, and also that they lived in the same block as one of the main actors (Peter Mullen probably.) She had gone along to the video shop no less than three times before she laid her hands on a copy. After viewing it she called to say that she didn't recognise any of the locations in the film, or any of the actors. This despite the fact that each time she went to the video shop, she explained to the staff that she really wanted to see it because she lived in the same tenement, the actors had visited her house one Hogmanay, she was practically on first name terms with the main character. Uncle Joe, asked again if she hadn't recognised anything from the film and then double checked on the film she rented. Turned out she got Meet Joe Black. She now can't go anywhere near the video shop as the staff clearly think she's a delusional who believes that not only does she live in the same block as Brad Pitt, he also pops over occasionally for New Year.
