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.

Thursday, April 12, 2007Normal service will be resumed as soon as possible You leave it too long and then there's too much to write so you can't be arsed and then it just sort of lays there doing nothing and everyone else seems to be doing the same.Nevertheless brief recap of the past week or so. We were visited by Reidski and lad, who now is taller than Mrs TNR and possibly catching TNR to boot (lad that is not Reidski!) Thoroughly enjoyable time doing nothing but drinking wine, watch TV, introducing Reidki (too late) to the world's greatest ever television programme that was Life on Mars (slightly more of this later) and the Apprentice. God did we even talk much or listen to much? Then 'twas Easter weekend where we did very little but relax, barbecue a whole sheep (I made that bit up it was really just a leg) drink wine and visit friends where we spent a great deal of time chatting, catching up and generally having a great time. The following day, Easter Monday thewife fell sick and called off participation in the day in its entirety. Which meant that she missed the marvelous Midlake in Concert at the ABC. Excellent gig excellent vibe man, they really have a seventies thing going on there which I really like. Tuesday and all eyes on the biggie no not Manure v Roman Nazi Scum which I must admit catching the incredible 1st half and a bit of the 2nd, no the biggie was the final episode of Life on Mars, of course there were guesses as to the ending and the mystery within, however truth is, it didn't really matter it was an entertaining drama on its own so much that you didn't really need a resolution. Oh and there were two really important words that television producers should take note of: Entertaining and Drama. You see neither very much on TV nowadays. Yes the ending was a classic and I'll miss it but I'm glad they finished it when they did. You loose the sparkle, I think after 2 series and there's the spin off which will be excellent I'm sure. Thing is, were the seventies really that brown? There ye go Father Bell meant to hundreds of times and finally got round to it. You don't know what you got till its gone! Have you got your mini-sam?
