The Indian takeaway in Chapeltown has some
(There were some in the window anyway)
Dont forget you will need an Ant licence. What i did is bought a cat licence, crossed out the word "Cat" and wrote "Ant" in crayon.

Make sure your neighbours dont have an Ant eater.
They will fight like cat and dog. :thumbsup:

I'm quite fancying an ant farm! I need a low maintenance pet because I'm very forgetfull, and would probably forget to feed something that wasn't so self sufficient!

Why would anybody want ants? Please enlighten us.

PS do you want the regular spider sized ants or those massive flying ones?

I want an ant farm like this (http://www.physlink.com/estore/cart/Antworks.cfm?SID=37) , and then I could give my ants names, and pretend I was Davina McCall on "Celebrity Big Brother Ants Special" :clap:

They used to have some ants at Weston Park Museum, didn't they? I seem to remember that last time I went, there were only about two left alive, where there used to be hundreds. So perhaps they're not quite so low-maintenance after all. Perhaps if you ask the builders' those two hardy ants might still be alive, perhaps you could liberate them.

They've got an ant colony at the Natural History Museum in London as well; I used to love taking my daughter to see them. I was at an awards ceremony held in the museum once, got very, very drunk and went roaming the gallery despondently crying "where's the ants?" until somebody slightly less drunk was kind enough to point them out to me.

I've got an aunt for sale. She's 66, called Mavis, and is yours for £9.99 (plus p&p). I should warn you that "Mave" is quite high maintenance - she smokes 40 B&H a day is partial to Gordons Gin. Bear these costs in mind. She will also get a bit miffed if you don't let her watch Look North every evening.I can probably arrange for you to have her on loan if you like.

Would she fit in the ant farm :confused: No problem if not, as long as she is litter trained. :thumbsup:

I have so many ants on the front of my house that I need to exterminate every summer, please feel free to come and get the horrible little f*ckers!

What right do they have to walk on God's good earth anyway?

What do they do? Except being big and strong?
