What's this plant?

My father asked me recently try if I could figure out whar the hell a plan was that has started growing in his garden recently, as Google has turned out fruitless, I thought I'd try a gardening forum. Hopefully I'll be able to post a photo once I've started this thread because I'm new to the forums and If it's possible it's immediately obvious

    Yes, euphorbia - they self seed around a bit - they can look quite amazing in the right place. 

    Be careful not to get the white sap on your skin as it can burn, especially in bright sunlight.

  • It looks like Euphorbia Latherus, thought to keep moles at bay.

    grows as a annual but self seeds.

  • They can be a terrible nuisance once they start seeding there seeds are round and pop all over the place. I would pull it out now before it comes to that.
