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.

Forgetfulness thewife got a phone call from an uncle on Friday, wanting to know the best time to call mumsy. the wife told him almost anytime, but that she would tell her to expect the call. She asked her yesterday if he had called yet and Mumsy said not, but that there were 2 women at the door quite late on Saturday night. thewife thought this a bit odd, but went round to check on mumsy, just in case she'd let anyone in that she shouldn't have. Things seemed okay, but thewife mentioned it to a policeman we know at the annual Waterside barbecue. He advised reporting it at the police station, which she did today. We dropped in on Mumsy this afternoon with some groceries and thewife told her she had reported Saturday night's visitation to the police. Mumsy now mentions that one of the women was Collette, a neighbour. thewife then pops over to speak to Collette. It turns out that she was indeed one of the callers, along with a woman from the Council's ALERT scheme for vulnerable elderly. Seems Mumsy had accidently pressed the red button, sending the alert system into operation. They would have called thewife, but this was the one Saturday in absolutely ages, when we were out, celebrating my aunt's 80th Birthday. As the ALERT people couldn't contact thewife by phone, they went to the next person on the list, who was the neighbour. She came over to check on Mumsy, but for some reason only had one key when she needed two. They eventually managed to get Mumsy to open the other lock and realised everything was okay, so then they made sure she got back to bed okay. Most of this detail was forgotten by Mumsy come the Sunday. So now the police will be keeping an extra vigilant eye around Mumsy's area for suspicious pairs of women.Labels: Confused

James Blunt is shite! The quality of referees in Scottish Football is downright shite. This clown may well be the worst I have ever seen. He gives an extremely dubious penalty to Inverness and denies Killie 2 clear cut penalties. Throughout the game he makes a catalogue of calamitous mistakes which highlighted the fact that he shouldn't be doing the job. Simply dreadful. I've now got a sore throat after shouting abuse at him. Still its fun innit, especially when you win and even more especially when Mehdi Taouil and David Fernandez turn in a display of unabashed showing off! With regards to Taouil, don't just take my word for it.Labels: I love football

Easter Holly, get your Easter Holly here! When thewife told me of the existence of the item below, I was immensely disturbed. Even more disturbing was the sight of these in some idiotic cretin's trolley. I really wanted to advise them to seek medical help. FFS. I give you Easter Crackers! Only £ 7.47 from Tesco, how did we ever manage without them?
Instead of a paper hat apparently they come with a little crown of thorns, a chocolate Jesus and a joke about Easter bunnies.
