ANT INVASION:
So I was going about my normal business the other night getting some pitta bread out of my freezer which is in the utility room in my house when I noticed a ?shitpile? of ants on the wall, now our house is in an ant prone area, being near the sea and that, I mean they are always all over the garden and paths and that, so me being me and not afraid of these things got the old ant spray out and blasted them, they were dead or so I thought?..
The next day I got home from work and decided I should clean up the dead ant depris from the night before, and when I looked down I saw more, coming from underneath the freezer, I was like ?oh dear, that?s a lot of ants? (there were maybe 100) so I got my groovy roomie Eimear to help me take everything out of the freezer and move it back (it was VERY heavy and I am strong, but small ish so moving it alone was not an option). When we moved the freezer, what we saw actually scared the bejasus out of me, (and I am not a scardey cat about creepy crawlies) there were THOUSANDS of them, more and more kept coming from under the lino, seriously it looked like something out of a horror movie, now I was ready with the (pretend) Dyson (ie: like a Dyson, but NOT ?400 ? neat!) in hand, and I was wearing flip flops (or thongs as weird people call them) and they were on my feet and I was freaking out BIG TIME, now I know that Matt has seen me freaking out a good few times what with being my bro and that, but I swear I have never ever ever freaked out this much in my life, I was vacuuming to beat the band, for 40 minutes, the container where the dirt goes was FULL of ants, ew, my skin is crawling even writing about it!! So when I was done vacuuming I ran out into my front garden, container of ants in hand, jumped over the wall into this field and set the ants on fire, I know I am a bad bitch but I had to, they would have come back, we pulled the lino up then and there were MORE (yes more!!) so I vacuumed them up too, burned them and then ant sprayed the shite out of everywhere, and ant powder and also this other stuff called ?Nipan? or something, which the ants eat and then go back to the nest and then they explode (groovy?) and kill the rest of the ants, ew Creepy Mac Creeperson seriously!! So yeah, ANT Invasion, not so groovy!!

Ants are evil little fuckers. Almost as bad as spiders.
But with what you have described I think you may need to call someone in.

Spiders aren't evil, they're just doing their thing. They kill flies, which is reason enough for them to be my friends. They're like cats (cats are my friends because they kill mice).
As for ants, I don't particularly count them as friends.

Spiders along with kats are satans spawn.
Guns kill mice too. I'm not partically enchancted with guns. So do thermanukes.
Posted by: Adrian | July 26, 2006 10:46 PM
Kats you say.
And also enchancted.
And thermanukes too!
A veritable plethora of typos.
Cats and spiders are not Satan's spawn. They are brilliant.
And killing a mouse with a gun smacks just a teensy bit of overkill. A bit like splatting a fly with a shovel.
Posted by: Matt | July 27, 2006 12:07 AM
Well...it depends on whether you simply whap the mouse with the butt of a rifle - assuming the mouse is terrified motionless - or you have to shoot it a sawed off shotgun.
Matt - we all know Adrian is the king of typos :-) Also, you forgot particularly.

ooh no I am NOT getting rentokil in or anything, they are all dead, we got the stuff, Nypon, it makes them explode and kill all of their buddies, cool huh, plus there have been no sightings for 2 full days now, and I have been checking and all. Spiders are cool, I like them for the same reason that Matt does, that they kill horrible flies. And also they kind of look cool. :P

Spiders are awesome... FACT ;-) Glad you were able to get rid of the ants, Babs. They can be nasty little critters.
A sawed-off shotgun?! Just how big *are* the mice where you live Calista? *gulp*

See I am a real life SuperHero, (apparently so anyway, my friends call me "Sarah Hero"), I think that may have had something to do with the ant elimination) amazing eh?
Spiders are cool, my friend collects them, kinda scary ones though but cool all the same!
Posted by: Babs | July 27, 2006 9:36 AM
Check it out now www.myspace.com/sarah_hero, its a page for only heroes! Woo!!
Posted by: Babs | July 27, 2006 11:45 AM
Wow, you should totally enter that in ZeFrank's Ugly MySpace competition, for the most hideous MySpace Page! I mean, YELLOW, what were you thinking...?
Posted by: Matt | July 27, 2006 12:17 PM
Spiders are evil nasty little fuckers who crawl into your room late at night and lay eggs in your cheek that hatch when you scratch the bump, and then you have to kill yourself.
Before I comment on the myspace page, is that you or is that another person? [My eyes are still hurting from the design]
Posted by: Adrian | July 27, 2006 12:24 PM
Babs, you are definitely my hero, setting fire to the ants and all. Like Sarah Connor in Terminator II or something.
Posted by: annie | July 27, 2006 12:34 PM
Props! I would have run away screaming!
Posted by: nrgza | July 27, 2006 12:38 PM
Adrian Sevitz, YOU, my friend, are a wuss.
Posted by: Matt | July 27, 2006 12:49 PM
yeah YELLOW, its my favourite colour, and yes, that is me, why?? Does it not look like me?? I didnt know what I was doing, pimp my profile, I have no idea about technology at all!! I am pretty much not afraid of things, apart from a million ants, oooh Sarah Connor, my old sous chef used to call me that, he was from France and made me say "no next door" in French everytime he said Sarah Connor" so it went him: "Sarah Connor?", me: "non, d'apporte acote". That's all spelled wrong, I don't really care! :P

Lets see how much of a wuss you are when you ecounter spiders from africa bigger than your head.
So I only have seen one pic of you so I couldn't say if the pic was you or not. My comment was going to be "the pic is cute, but the rest of the page makes me respond 'my eyes my eyes make the bruning stop'"
But then I hate everything on MySpace so don't take it the wrong way.
Posted by: Adrian | July 27, 2006 2:08 PM
When I encounter spiders from Africa bigger than my head I shall proclaim loudly 'gosh, I'm so glad I don't live in Africa'. Spiders that can kill me are not cool. Spiders that catch and kill flies and wasps and other things that annoy me are very cool.
The pic on MySpace looks almost nothing like Babs, as much as I can tell through the tears and snot caused by the offending 'yellow'.
I hate everything on MySpace too, except the aforementioned deliberately-awful ZeFrank competition pages (and my sister, of course). They're SO bad, they're good.
I feel a poll coming on.

That does SO look like me, actually, I think for my next post I am going to do a nice gallery of me!! SO there, and then you can all see what I really look like! SO there Matt!! It's not THAT bad, I like myspace music, and the yellow and red is supposed to stand out you know? You guys are just far too boring!
Posted by: Babs | July 27, 2006 2:22 PM
I am with Babs - picture DOES look like her.
But I am also with Adrian and Matt - that really really hurt my eyes.
Posted by: NKL | July 27, 2006 2:37 PM
It may look a bit like her, but only in the same way that Babs on a Sunday morning with a ferocious hangover looks a bit like her.
In other news, congrats Nikki, you just posted the 1,000th comment on this here blog! I'll give you the prize later... ;-)
Posted by: Matt | July 27, 2006 2:42 PM
YAY!! Go Nikki! It does look like me, I even asked all the peeps on my team in work and they all said so! I think you guys are all getting old or something, it doesnt hurt any of my myspace friends eyes!! :P
Posted by: Babs | July 27, 2006 2:43 PM
OOOOOHHHHHHHHhhhhhhhhhhhhh a PRIZE!?!??!?!
Posted by: NKL | July 27, 2006 2:48 PM
Babs - Your MySpace friends eyes don't work as well as the rest of us, as they are MySpace friends. They're eyes are burnt out from using MySpace. And it doesn't look like you, it look like you in a jocker on a Sunday Morning after being out all night with a chefy pal of yours and consuming about 97 units of alcohol.
Yes Nikki, there's a prize. (wink, wink?) :-P
Posted by: Matt | July 27, 2006 2:54 PM
Dear Matt, you took that picture of me!! Sapface!
I consumed approx 13 units (ish) of alcohol, over a 6 hour period, is that ok? Well maybe more cause the Koppaberg mixed berry cider is 7.5% or something like that - eeek! Do I look like a minger in the pic, not as minging as the other stupid face picture that you took! :P
My myspace friends are my ACTUAL friends, you see, apart from some of the more famous bands, you know what I mean? So there!
Posted by: Babs | July 27, 2006 3:13 PM
I took that pcture of you?! I never. Where?!
13 units (or 15 if you count the Koppaberg) is the recommended weekly MAXIMUM alcohol intake for a woman, I think. So like, no, it's not ok!
Your MySpace friends may indeed be actual friends, but they're actual friends who use MySpace, so their eyes are burnt out.
I will post the 'maximum stupid face' picture on the Flickr soonish. You know the one I'm talking about. :-P
Posted by: Matt | July 27, 2006 3:29 PM
ok here's what I consumed, someone else will have to work out the alcohol content:
3 pintsCarlesberg
2 pints Koppaberg Pear Cider
1 pints Koppaberg Mixed Berry Cider
2 pints House Weiss
3 Oyster Stout
I cut that section of the pic out of a pic from the night that you took the maximum stupid face pic as well silly!
2 Kobra beers
That seems like in or around what I had anyway!! And that's all that I drank all week so shuddup!

Sharky - a sawed off shotgun is not really that big. It's great for shooting at close range. Very destructive.
