- Uh - sorry everyone, I really do like it when this group concentrates on
- the reports and nowt else - but, well I like this Ant thing, I've been
- thinking along similar lines myself recently vis. if we are open to the
- possibility that some of the wierdings in the sky are otherworldly in
- origin, why don't 'they' make a bigger effort to at least drop in for a
- drink now and then? Well, if your motoring along some nice slick
- motorway you dont suddenly yell out 'Hey, look! Its a load of intersting
- Ants. Pull over, lets see what they are up to!'
- OK, some of us might, at a push, but only if we have a very strong Ant
- fixation.
- Yes - as an idea it just seems weak but its got that rather depressing
- real life ring to it I find appealing.
- Got to trip - adea
