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.

Margaret Hodge is a Power Hoor

Housing allocation based not on need - fabulous idea Hodge. Where the Fuck did you come up with that then? Worried about the BNP encroaching on your majority? Truth is you only care about keeping your seat you obnoxious git. Why don't you just join the BNP then (as Steve Bell suggests in his excellent cartoon ) That way you can go the whole hog and advocate not letting immigrants into the country in the first place!

Paper Roses

That's it for another season. Beautiful summer-like day, 11,000 crowd, swollen by the offer to season ticket holders to bring a friend and swollen by a big crowd of followers of Heart of Midlithuania who were rather hoping for a win and for their west coast brethren to do them a favour.

No such luck ya Jambos!

There's only one Stephen Naismith and I hope he's staying put for another season, any less than £ 4,000,000 would be an insult.

Long wait over

After 7 years in charge, Jim Jeffries finally manages to take a full 3 points from the huns. Oh what fun I had today at work smiling down on the followers of hunnery, whistling a happy number by Marie Osmond and generally walking with a spring in my step.

Back Door Man

An Open letter to the Presiding Officer of the Scottish Parliament.

Dear Mr Presiding Officer,

I am timesnewroman. I no longer have any confidence in any of the political parties seeking to govern Scotland. I don't believe that any of them can or for the most part are capable of representing my views. Accordingly, I think I am ideally placed to be the natural representative of the Spoiled Ballot Paper Party in the Parliament. I do believe that 7% of the vote should be enough to gain a seat and maybe you could just kick out the last elected SNP list member then even stevens would be pretty interesting.

Please let me know quite quickly as I have a day job. (Can I do both??)

Yours etc

Smells Fishy

Strange but true, we are about to be led by a duo of fish from a party which has an upturned fish as it's symbol, after an election which saw 100,000 spoiled ballot papers! The Daily Mash pretty well sums up this ridiculous state of democracy.

Life on Earth?

I have woken up. It appears to be the late 1970s early 1980s. It appears that there are SNP MSPs in places where they shouldn't be. I am awaiting the arrival of the New Romantics. This time I am ready though. This time I will kill them. You can't always depend on the Smiths.

What difference does it make?
Amazing, a whole election campaign and not a word about it here until now. The campaign has practically been invisible. A few posters on lamp-posts and election leaflets via the mail. I'm struggling to come to terms with who I will vote for, rather than vote against. That's easy - The SNP (Wankers - totally ineffective in opposition and a crowd of opportunist chancers to boot who will change their hue depending on who they are up against); The Conservatives (A shower of Bastards still!) Liberals (Political invertebrates) which for the Scottish Parliament vote leaves things tricky. I can't stand the Labour Candidate, and there is no-one else I will vote for in the Constituency Section do I skip it or what? In the list section, where you get to choose a party or raggle-taggle individual I chose the SSP candidate last time, who won a seat. This time however , she is a Solidarity Candidate and the SSP are also standing which means both will probably lose - clearly a lot of hate there. I just reckon I may even go Green and that is like me making my mind up right now. God I've decided to vote Hippie as I write this! Council Elections extremely easy, I'm voting Labour. Well actually I'm voting their third choice as number 1 and that's it no 2nd or 3rd cos of their other candidates 1 is a complete tosser and the other a non-entity. There. Done until I get to the ballot box.
