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.

Drawing The Line 2 colleagues are discussing their sons, 1 noting how her's takes and takes, whereas the others is quite considerate and quotes the example of how he was wanting her to get him a computer game, but that he had the money saved up for it, whereas her elder son would probably have expected her to pay for it. Given that the media was awash with Grand Theft Auto, I had to ask and yes that was the game her 15 year old was trying to get hold of. You know its an "18" we say. "Yes, but all his friends have got it, its about stealing cars." She then went on to say that there were some games though, that she just wouldn't allow in the house! At that point I went into a fit of hysterical laughter for at least 10 minutes, wondering what on earth could be higher tariff for censorsip than Grand Theft Auto. When the apprentice, who has GTA Vice City explains the game content she's mortified, her son already has that. She thought it was like Crocker and Tubbs in Miami Vice, The "Vice City" wasn't therefore a clue. Fortunately she hasn't been able to track down a copy and will be having a discussion with her son re the appropriateness of game content.Labels: On the ball
