Will have to do something about my uni inbox, but short of napalm I have no idea what. This is the downside to never wanting to delete e-mails.

Saints sacked Ian Milward. Mother is annoyed, Saints fans are annoyed, rest of the board who aren't the chairman and the chief exec are annoyed. And we've drawn Wigan in the next round of the Challenge cup. If we lose this could be fun. That being said there is no reason why we should given that Wigan's injury crisis hasn't got any better recently.

Revision going well. Must buy one of Maxim Vengerov's albums one of these days. Really, he's the only violinist who I like.

Edit - knew I'd forgotten something. You might see fic out of me sometime this week if I can get Sylvain to stop sniffling and weeping like a waterbed that's sprung a leak.

Edit part 2 (so I'm not spamming people's f-lists) - Dear recipe sites of the US, what are Graham crackers? On a similar tip, if any one has a recipe for toffee cheesecake that they wouldn't mind telling me I would be grateful beyond words.

Dear recipe sites of the US, what are Graham crackers?

They are a sweet cracker, made from the same substance as the crust sometimes found beneath cheesecake. Very good when dunked in milk.

Merci, I'm sensing that I'll have to replace them with digestive biscuits in the cheesecake.

According to a British to American dictionary, a cracker is what you all call a savory bisquit. Except graham crackers are sweet, not savory.

Yup, crackers tend to be dry savoury things in the UK. I'm distinctly unfond of them.

Yes, very thin, crumbly-crunchy and sweet. Sometimes it's used as the crust in pies or cheesecake. Breaks into sections so it's a great treat for kids :) Also! One of three key ingredients in S'mores, the other two being a toasted marshmallow and a section of Hershey's chocolate.

Merci. They sound rather like wafer biscuits. Merci.
