New improved version with added sparkle. (What are you waiting for? Drop me a line!) Very straightforward, no-mucking-about sort of bloke with a music Ph. D and a history degree. Very lively in the right company. If you've got it, flaunt it like wot I do. And if you haven't just wear tight clothes dear.

bassetThu 05/04/07 17:25		Current writing styles and a changing world mean that certain types of writing have become obsolete. Like Victorian and Augustan puddingstone, the sort of effete fancies penned by the Cavalier poets, and (the Daddy of them all) King James 1st in his various treatises. This passing of styles is something which I regard as a real shame. We have perhaps the most wonderfully suggestive, highly nuanced language in the world and we continually fail to use it creatively or tart it up. Therefore (and note the abrupt change in tone here) henceforth twanging the knicker-elastic of a comely male surrogate Muse, I hope to mix for myself a Cement for Lasting Renown by issuing a general call for English written Up to the Manner of our Most Fastidious Age. Wherein polyclausality, the delightful ramblings of abstrusely twee garden-path digressions, and lusting for Sublime Affections of a painful nature in a Naughtily Spanky manner make up the chief Delights in a style that stuffs the world with Sweet Delight. Making a honeyed torreent of our Native Tongue, bestrewn prettily with perfumed blossoms of various hues as it flows inexorably onwards - and covering all with its narcotically sticky sweetness of elegantly contrived charm in a way that causes even grown men to utter soft little rapturous squeals of pleasure (oooh nice)...and all of course ever the more in the General Interest of making the whole world a chorus of pretty flowers. Furthermore, first amongst the Optima Desiderata of this new style comes....decadence. Second, mannerism. Third, affectation. Fourth comes mixed metaphor, and fifth....the pleasure-pain paradox. So that the frequent and sharp leathery thwack of adjective against noun relentlessly drives the sentence to places where no hack has ever gone before (in a spunkily effervescent Gothick fashion with just a hint of Le Corbusier, against a luridly coloured backdrop of sixties Rococo Bauhaus). So, allow me to dip a toe in the water here and see if anybody salutes it.
