I am being unreasonable to start this thread.

Aren't I?

Not if it's the Tunnel of Love and you're in it with Johnny Depp

The Great Escape is a good lesson to learn. If your trousers don't have turn-ups, you're not getting out.

Tunnels were invented to keep people with spades busy. There were no tunnels before 1952. All those people digging for victory had to be found something else to dig.The tunnel was born.

Nonsense. There are tunnels in the pyramids. And the Ancient Ant Peoples had lots.
Clouting stuff was invented for the post-war diggers. Clouting stuff and allotments.

Sorry Sue, I should clarify. I meant in the UK. Those Ancient Ant people were great though weren't they?

They knew how to structure a society. And a tunnel, come to that.

I like ants. Very efficient.

They also had really thin waists. Tiny.

Ants bite and swarm over picnics. And there was a very scary film about superintelligent termites that I once saw at a friend's house. it totally ruined my weekend.

They don't swarm, that's bees. They queue. Lovely and tidy, ants are.

I do kill the bitey bastards in my garden though.

They're very little though aren't they? I have red ants in my garden. They make me worried.

Sue I am ROFL at the thought of ants queueing up tidily to bite me. I'll still kill the blighters, though.

Tutty if I had red ants in my garden in December I'd be worried too...

The red ants are bad aren't they? If they bite you do you only have 7 minutes to live? Maybe it's 8.

Leave the bastard.

I once sat DD on a nest of the bastards, on the lawn. By accident, obv. THE UTTER BASTARDS BIT MY BABY.

So my vegetarian, ethical, woo philosophies only extend as far as ants. I kill them with fire, or anything else to hand.

On no, Tutty, it's about 3 minutes, unless you get a dose of the approved anti-venom which is made from rare resins and extracts of trees and endangered animals from the Amazon jungle, where they probably don't have tunnels but do have ants. Army ones. In little military uniforms and helmets.

And NICE hasn't approved the anti-venom either, so it costs £3million a shot.

I am so bloody lucky that I have £18 million in the bank.I don't care what NICE (isn't it NIACE?) say I will be getting some of that anti-venom. Or, would it work if I got someone to wee on me? Then I could spend the money on a tractor or some sheep or maybe a car that had a 3rd gear.

Sue, those ants that bit your baby are bastards. How could they? Blow them up. Bit of lighter fuel squirted in their hole. Match. Goodbye ants. It also works well as a hobby.

I see the wine has been opened and the tosh is being spoken!

I made a rhyme!

SanTEE, no that is impure rhyme. Which is very creative and evil of you. BTW I am drinking a G&T (not a clever child, an alcoholic drink)

Tutty in my experience only thermonuclear weapons are any good against ants. But with £18 million in the bank that shouldn't be a problem for you.

Are you saying we're talking shite? That's just rude.

If that's a rhyme I'm Sylvia Plath

The Shawshank Redemtion was a damn good tunnel movie.
I have no opinion on ants.

PointyLittleDonkeyEars can you put your glasses on? My name is TuFty not TUTTY. What kind of sense would it make if I was called TuttyFinch? Someone called me Titty the other day.

I now have £17,890,675 in the bank because I b

Sylvia dear - obviously SanTEE is living in a parallel universe and has just wandered into our dimension by mistake. We must be tolerant, what-ho!

Sorry, Tufty. I am wearing gin goggles. Can I still call you Sylvia?

I would have to agree. It was a great movie. So was the green mile! xx

I just spelt redemption wrong didn't I?
Still a damn good tunnel movie though.
