What a friend I have in Algebrand These rainy days in Swindon wouldn't be the same without him. The other day, Algebrand told me that if ants were the size of humans they could carry a 40-story skyscraper in their mandibles
Well, as you can imagine, Algebrand and I were as happy as a pair of boy scouts on a 60's Hiberian, orienteering expedition. How amusing it was to imagine our 40-story block of flats being plonked right in the middle of the Lake District, by a man-sized ant.
What a fantastic view! What a spectacle!
If this had been the end of the story I would have said no more but, just as we were finishing our Chamomile tea, we spotted a colony of man-sized, army ants swarming across the Swindon downs, and heading straight for us! Before we knew it, the entire town had been transported away and dumped into the North sea. Would you credit it! Who would have thought that ants were not only incredibly strong, but also had such exceedingly good taste.

With regard to the people who said: what is the most amazing thing that has happened to you town? (isn't a question!).
Of course it is a question! The rest is just a little anecdotal foreplay. My advice: loosen the sphincter ratchet. (tehee!)
