AEndr, The Mad Hatter

no thank you, I never give EV all my stock (my freezers are bigger than his anyway, comes from having an Ice Age cave lion as a close companion) so I can have my own ice cream without having to pay for it

So Baldrick, do you offer the same range as EV, and does it all come firing out of a modified water gun?

Baldrick

Not entirely, no. I can call on my cannon to provide stuff in the event of running out and in the tradition of London's ice-cream sellers (those in Ice-Cream Mile) plan to extend my operation here into food - hot dogs, vodka jelly etc. And I do have the same range as EV, with a few extras for those with 'unusual' tastes. My cannon is in its dedicated bay on my rather large and overgunned starship, whick is currently.......busy.
