    Did somebody say "Flan"?

    Oh no, it's the Phantom Flan Flinger!

    I have to say it tastes fantastic when it is actually served in Eton. I was just sitting there grinning at the bowl.

    We had Jubblys down here in Wales too.

    And TipTops.

    From the ark: Five Boys chocolate bar.

    Fry's mini eggs, same size as the Cadbury creme ones, but split into two & filled with marzipan or coconut ice or something similar.

    Yeah Tip Tops

    There's a couple of packets of ancient* jelly I could make up and a tin of equally ancient *evap that would go with it just fine.

    *pre 2014 at a guess, having inherited them.

    And you think the ban hammer should fall swiftly and decisively but we seem to have this cycle where we put up with it to a point and then ban it but he knows he is pandered to in the early days so will just do it again? Why not strike early, cut the snakes head off and not give him the reason to just come back again. Seems ridiculous to me. He'll 100% get banned at some point so why not do it early. No one wants him here so what pander to him?
