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.

Great Chieftain of the Puddin' Race r
For fuck sake just go. Other than their immediate families you must be the only person on earth who believes Willie Gibson and James Fowler can play football. Just spent the afternoon wastefully, watching two diabolical football teams, 1 diabolical (FIFA hah fucking ha) referee and 2 diabolical assistant referees. Absolute bollocks and I'm definitely not doing it next season. Full Stop. There are more things in life to get passionate about than football.
The weekend hasn't been all bad though. Last night we had the rapturous pleasure of being amazed, amused and entertained by an absolute magician of a musician and a voice that was amazing. Finished off with a Burns medley that was exquisite.

Personally, I think the Homecoming 2009 is a complete load of ScotGov pish designed to give Dougie McLean more royalties for his pishy pseudo nostalgic Caledonia song. Hordes of Nat supporting ex-pats weep into their whisky in a ludicrous ad to tempt ex-pats to visit Scotland in 2009. Only at first they weren't going to be showing the ad outside of Scotland. Fuckwits!
Just celebrating the great Bard's 250th birthday itself would have been enough. Fortunately its not all bad as last night proved.
And tonight it's off to the quiz with our free drink voucher, courtesy of having won the quiz last week and I'm off tomorrow. Superb!
