Grass is something you smoke, birds are something you shag...

My Ma has been down, so I've been doing fun family stuff. Seaside and Chinese yesterday, pootling (for it was cold and dreary) and a toad in the hole today. Was most impressed with my toad. I did need Mum's help since it's been a long time since I've done it and my batter tends not to rise well, but I was really impressed with the end result. Did it with hot cabbage salad, broccoli, roast sweet potatoes and proper gravy - was anticipating Vi just eating the broc like she did with Sunday Roast a couple of weeks back, but she ate it all - even the potatoes. Very happy with all of that. I do like stodgy Autumnal English dinners.

I also had a flash of creative genius last night while playing Soul Calibur... My ever expanding army of Custom Characters now includes Disco Stu. 'Walk away, not today, Disco Lay-deh!'

He joins: Eric (normal), Nym, Janapurna, LeFroux, Mavis Swift, Inversion-verse Evil Eric, Evil Diana, Evil Sheila, Evil Presto, Cinderella, Snow White, Viola from Twelfth Night and a clutch of Mary-Sues. Fighting Sues - life is sweet.

Oh, and apparently, Jarvis Cocker is the 'wildcard' option in a list of established Panel Show presenters and ISIHAC semi-regulars to fill Chairman Humph's now vacant spot on Samantha's right hand. The more I think about it the more I'm warmed to the idea. I wonder if he'd do it.
