The secret jellybaby-ordering page isn't linked to anywhere (due to cheating) - instead you have to figure out the URL (the web location name) of the page. The clue is in the paragraph above...
(NB: It might take a few days for jellybabies to arrive
postally if you're not in Robinson College, Cambridge, UK. But I will pay
postage if you find the secret page!)

Instrument: Lead Guitar Skateboarding: Very proficient (usually seen handstanding on his skateboard) |
He's the leader of the Bassett's Jelly Babies. Brilliant is the leader Of this bright and cheerful band. He loves to play his blue guitar To fans throughout the land. |
Everybody knows the strawberry flavour of Baby Brilliant. Ostensibly
he's the "leader" of the Jelly Babies, although Bubbles
has real control over the rest of the group.
Tastes pretty 'brilliant' too. Personal flavour rating:

Instrument: Lead Vocals Skateboarding: Good (does jumps frequently) |
She's the extrovert and always playful.
Bubbles is a trendy babe Who wears her beads with pride. She loves to sing and dance around And takes fame in her stride. |
Bubbles is the extrovert of the group, with undisputed control over
who does what. She's often seen hanging around with Baby
Brilliant, and her audiences think she's one sexy babe...
NOOOO! It's not real!!! She's just a lump of sugar-covered gelatine!!!!! ...Lemon-flavoured, too. Quite nice, in fact. Personal flavour rating:

 |
Instrument: Cymbals / Double Bass Skateboarding: Not very good (but Bigheart consoles him) |
He's never far from tears whether happy or sad.
Boofuls cries at all things sad, Even when things aren't so bad. When he's happy he boos and hoos, In his favourite blue suede shoes. |
Boofuls is often fought over when I bring out the Jellybabies bag,
like Baby Bigheart. But I have to say, his flavour
isn't really one of my most liked. But lots of people like him, so I like
to get several per bag in order to be able to give everyone their favourite...
It was recently brought to my attention that not only does Boofuls play the cymbals, he also plays the double bass (like my brother). Thanks, Rich "Boofuls" Barfield! Flavour rating:

Instrument: Saxophone Skateboarding: Unknown (although gremlynn claims to have seen him on her windowledge showing her dog how to do a somersault with no hands) |
He's the thoughtful and caring one.
Bigheart is the caring one, His generosity's well known. He always wears red trainers And plays the saxophone. |
Bigheart spends a lot of time with Baby Boofuls,
with a compassionate hand on his shoulder and a "I'm there if you need
me" look on his face.
Everyone always used to fight over "the black ones", long before we knew they were Baby Bigheart, the thoughtful and caring saxophonist of the Jellybabies band. But I have to say, I really don't like the flavour. Sorry. Flavour rating:

 |
Instrument: Drums Skateboarding: You're joking - he's far too clumsy |
He's so mischievous and ever so clumsy.
Bumper bounces from here to there, Knocking things over everywhere. He loves to play bongos and drums, Especially those big soft jelly ones. |
Bumper recently regained his position as my favourite Jelly Baby from
Baby
Brilliant. He's the main drummer, although three of the 'Babies are
percussionists of one form or another (half the band!)

 |
Instrument: Tambourine Skateboarding: Too young - she's still on all fours for goodness' sake! |
She's the youngest and always crawling into trouble.
Baby Bonny is the youngest, Still crawling on all fours. She likes to play the tambourine And loves the loud applause. |
Baby Bonny used indeed to be still crawling on all fours; but not in
the new, less characteristic poses... She's learnt to sit up now, it
appears. She's still the icklest and cutest though.

Doesn't exist | But James Nott selected her as his favourite 'Baby anyway. So she got an entry here. (1) | |

Also doesn't exist | But Anna Foster (a vegetarian, to be fair) was inspired by James' antics to vote for "the white one". Can we stick to votes for jellybabies that actually exist, now, folks, please?! (1) |
| Style of Eating | Real-Life Example | Adherents |
| Bite the head off | <sadly lacking> | Fran Sainsbury, Sarah Crack, Philip Firman, Hazel Bickerstaffe |
| Torture | Bite the legs and arms off, then the ears and nose - leave the eyes so that it can see the torture all the way through | Meg Gooch |
| Seasonally dependent | Only eat them in winter | Olivia Horsefall Turner |
| Sacrifice | Quite simply, we sacrifice them. Well, it's not actually so simple but anyway... First we bite their head off (and eat it...what else do you think we'd do?) then we draw a cross over the neck stump. Finally we eat the body. However, if we are holding a formal ritual, it is a little more complicated... | Erica and Jacqueline |
| Nibble a bit at a time | I nibble the tiny, tiny nose and then the right 'leg' - after which the toes on the left 'leg' Yummy.... | Miles Lallemant, me! |
| I would add that my version of this style starts with the sugared coating round the outside, only reaching the actual jelly once all (or at least three-quarters) of the hard sugary bit has gone... | ||
| All in one go | All in one go- I pop it into my mouth, suck its juices for a while, then grind it between my teeth so that bits get stuck in my molars for later enjoyment, then I let the remainder slither gently down my throat rather like honey. | An anonymous friend |
| Bite them in half | You experience the texture of the jellybaby in the first bite, suck some juice out to enjoy the flavour, then swallow! Then the second half you can do the same or simply munch it... yum, yum! | Rebecca Heath, Jenny Green |
| Eat them whole | Anne Harrison, "Aviator" |
