I thought if I changed the title of the thread it might get people talking about something else again. 
Trifle?

Hmm... I seem to think I don't like blancmange, I tend to avoid foods which have the word mange in them.

I'm still waiting to see why Tinkerbell's chair has suddenly gained a superiority complex? Does that have anything to do with blancmange?

A synth-pop duo from the early 1980s who had hits with "Living On The Ceiling", "Blind Vision" and a cover of Abba's "The Day Before You Came".

I think Rolf is more of a wobbleboard/didgeridoo kind of guy than a synth man.

Stylophone, Tink. Not styrofoam.

Not exactly. Stylophone small keyboard-like instrument played with a stylus. Styrophone big white bubbly foamy packing material.

Well, you can get tunes out of a Stylophone, but only little white bubbly bits out of Styrofoam. I suppose it's a matter of personal preference.
