My fellow Straight to Hell forum member Abhimanyu Das has started a blog, Soft Places. He's a good writer with great taste in movies, music and books and hopefully will keep up with his blog and enlighten us all with erudition and wit. I won't explain why he is a cinematic romancer, even though the term was used to desribe another individual it equally applies to Abhi in my opinion. Why he has the following quote as a description of himself god only knows.

People from the north of England pronounce it BASStard with the 'bas' bit rhyming with ass. People from the south of England pronounce it Baaaastard with the 'bas' rhyming with 'arse'. The people in the south of England are, ive been told, "shandy drinking ponces" but its all the same really.

I'd just like to point out that this particular Southerner ain't a shandy drinking ponce and rumours of the consumption of a Bacardi Breezer by said southerner are much exaggerated.
