Precisely which advert persuaded them not to go on the offensive? The one that never seems to be off our screens is Go Compare and that's enough to drive anyone to a murderous rampage.

No The opera singer from Go Compare should definitely be fed to the giant ants. I

Can't you complain to to the Advertising Standards Authority - "Protest and Survive"

It is The Protect And Survive ads from the 70s that been so beneficial in countering giant ant plague. But then the 70s is a jolly good decade.

But on the subject of the Go Compare Advert - who is the woman with the bazooka (not as a euphemism for tits but as in panzerfaust) who takes her ski mask off. Am I meant to know her?

Sue Barker - but I can't see the link between the two, not that there has to be.

Maybe it's significant that the ad appeared during Wimbledon.

My prediction: it'll be a teaser for a new campaign featuring La Barker.

Ah, she's taken out the annoying tenor so that she can have his job. She'll probably get a peerage for services to the country.

You're just an ecological disaster area you are. "Those unspeakably rare birds are too noisy - where's me gun? Those bees that pollenate the plants and enable us all to survive are the wrong colour - nuke 'em! Those butterflies serve no purpose - break out the DDT, agent orange and those last remaining stocks of smallpox for good measure."

I loves butterflies - they do no wrong, just flutter around looking real pretty - which is purpose enough for me.

I'm just like any honest human being - there are things I simply don't like or agree with - frogs, birds and ants being quite high on the list as are celery and beetroot.





oh, and chicory (I was forced to drink Camp coffee during my formative years )

What!?!?! Beetroot again!

Madame how dare you!

*SHUDDER*

You are a mean boy



About 10 years ago, I decided I was grown-up enough to get over my fear and loathing of the purple root vegetable. I had about 3 slices of said vegetable. About an hour later, it decided to make its upward return. And besides, anything that turns yer water an unusual colour is just wrong - plain and simple.

You don't agree with frogs? Philosophically? Morally? Or is it just a difference of opinion?

All of the above

Perhaps we should get you, the frogs and the ants sitting around a table to try and resolve matters. I know a hedgehog who can arbitrate.

I have discovered that while the slugs have eaten most of the leaves from my potato plants, the potatoes themselves are untouched.

And delicious.

Slugs won't eat potatoes unless they're dauphinoise. They're fussy that way. No salt though.

Slugs dauphinoise?

You should think about it before things descend into armed (well, legged - or pseudopoded in the slugs' case) conflict. With the ants on their side they vastly outnumber you and they may have chemical weapons. Your regime could easily fall and then it's only a matter of time before there's a photo of you on the front page lying prone with slime all over your face...no, hang on, that was the Peter Gabriel video...
